The Island

In Southwest Tunisia the landscapes are often spectacular. The oasis towns of Tozeur and Douz border a vast salt lake, beyond it is the Sahara. Travel to the oases is quite easy from the north by long distance shared taxis called louages. They go when they are full and are fast and cheap. (avoid taking a louage on the east coast highway south from Sousse as they are suicidal – take the train instead on this route)

To get to Tozeur from Sousse or the airport travel in the morning as you have to change at Gafsa (256km) and the very ordinary hotel there is expensive. Onwards to Tozeur from here is 93km through ever increasing scenic landscapes.
