Trip to Tozeur (Part IV)

Sahara Lounge and Ong El Jamel

Visited one of the newest adventure park in the heart of Tozeur at the back of the horse-cart. They built the parcour using the existing palm tree to entertain the tourist and rich-local people, why I said so ? Because, a cup of espresso cost almost double than the price in Switzerland. 7 Dinars for a cup of not fresh brew espresso, I think it's a "SCAM".

I didn't really enjoy this place, honestly, but seems like otehr friends did.



At night, we've got special entertainment. Dinner at the middle of the desert on the shooting spot of the STAR WARS.

It's a bumpy ride to arrive at Ong el Jamel. First, we entered the town of Nefta, then took turn in to the sandy bumpy path, and there were all the adrenaline ride begun (for me, plus we drove at night). After about an-hour ride, we arrived at a luminated spot in the middle of nowhere, and there was Yoda's house hahaha

We've been welcomed with the traditional dance, and thousand candles been spread out all along the path to lighten up our way. It's kind of cool, especially when we found out that our welcome drink for that night was Champagne...hmmmm

We've visited the "Star Wars" village, took pictures, hoovering around with our newly given cape (it's cool, we felt like vampires ourselves LOL), it's just a new experiences for me, got lost in the middle of the dessert but still feel super cool :)

The dinner was served in the tent, accompanied by traditional musics and singers. And all of sudden, it turned to Louis Armstrong's channel. At least, that what was I thinking at the beginning, no, it's a super cool Tunisian singers. He sangs those jazz songs just the way Armstrong sang it.
