Tozeur

The Tozeur Governorate encompasses 4,719 square kilometers of territory characterized by vast desert landscapes and traditional mud brick architecture in its settlements.

The region developed from an agricultural center into a significant administrative division after Tunisia's independence, maintaining its position as a gateway to the Sahara.

Local architectural methods feature geometric patterns in clay bricks, reflecting centuries of building techniques passed through generations in this desert environment.

Visitors can reach Tozeur through regional roads connecting to Gafsa and Sfax, with the most comfortable travel period occurring between October and April.

The Chott el Jerid salt lake within the governorate creates a natural mirror effect across its surface, extending over hundreds of square kilometers.
