After our ride on the Lezard Rouge in Metloui we caught a mini-bus to Touzer, an oasis town on the edge of the Sahara. Touzer is the central city in this region of the country and is a popular tourist spot for both Tunisians and foreigners. The city serves both as a place to enjoy the oasis as well a jumping off point for excursions such as desert off road, sand-sailing and multi-day trips on camel back.

After a few days of constant travel we were happy to have a nice place to stay in Touzer where we could relax. We spent our first day visiting the old city, eating food and just getting a feel for the place. We also bumped into the same family we met while on the Lezard Rouge and agreed to join them on a 4x4 trip through the desert to see the set from Star Wars Episode I. Driving up and down the dunes was a lot of fun and the desert was beautiful at sunset, we really got lucky meeting such a great family to enjoy the day with. We later met them again in Tunis before we departed.
