The oasis region of Tozeur and Kebeli is “the door” of the Sahara Desert locations.

Chott el Djerid is a endorheic salt lake very well known for its moonscape looks. With a surface area of over 7000 km2

The Dahar region were you can find the Troglodyte homes, traditional olive oil press, traditional Amazigh “Berber” villages like the villages of Tamazret, Toujen, Cheneni, Matmata, as seen in the first Star Wars film, is a location of note in this region.
