The spirit
The Tozeur oasis represents the life and meeting place of farmers, the bearers and guardians of age-old know-how and traditions. Their traditional know-how helps maintain the oasis ecosystem and culture. For one day, you’ll enjoy an authentic, immersive experience in their world. A unique moment of sharing where you’ll take part in picking and crushing (only during date season) or in daily activities, preparing picnics and lunch.
