Sidi Toui National Park

Sidi Toui National Park is a protected reserve in southern Tunisia near the Libyan border, characterized by dry grasslands and sparse shrub vegetation typical of the region. The landscape supports a variety of native desert flora adapted to the harsh climate and seasonal variations.

The reserve was established in 1993 to protect the native grassland ecosystems of southern Tunisia. Its creation reflected the nation's commitment to safeguarding the biodiversity of these fragile desert environments.

The national park represents Tunisia's commitment to environmental conservation through its integration of research facilities and wildlife monitoring programs.

The park lies approximately 54 kilometers south of Ben Gardane and welcomes visitors around the clock. Daytime exploration is advisable, as navigation becomes difficult after dark and the heat is most manageable during early morning or late afternoon hours.

The park functions as a reintroduction program for the Scimitar oryx, an endangered species, contributing to the restoration of wildlife populations across North Africa. The initiative has achieved measurable success in breeding and maintaining this species within its natural habitat.
