| Highlights | |
| Chott el Djerid | the Chott el Djerid is a large salt lake in southern Tunisia. As far as the eye can see white salt-crusts, deep green water pools and red sand determine the scenery. We suggest to cross the lake from the city Kebili to Tozeur as you can also enjoy the view of the mountains then. |
| Tozeur | Tozeur is a city and a large oasis with hundreds of thousands of palm trees. The city is famous for its brick architecture. Fascinating patterns in simple and rich geometric designs form the façades of many buildings in the old city. |
| Matmata | Matmata is well known due to its underground 'troglodyte' structures which are traditional Berber homes. The hotel Sidi Driss served as the home of Luke Skywalker on the planet Tatooine in the Star Wars movies. |
