Other than shopping, there was an option to go visit another Star Wars village (we didn’t go) and a day walk scheduled around Tamerza, almost on the Algerian border. Tamerza was another village situated in a huge valley oasis with lots of palm trees. … View image…

We hiked up to Mides, a little oasis which owes its fertility to many little mountain streams. The water is tapped by wells and carried through a system of underground channels. Mides is an abandoned village on a cliff face and after exploring it, we walked through a valley – looking for fossils along the stream, enjoying the extremely stark beauty of the canyon, eating a picnic lunch, taking our time and exploring with “Explore.”

Le Kef was next, with rugs piled up on the back seat of our mini-bus…View image and long rides with always something to see. Perhaps admiring the wildflowers in the desert…sometimes the only spot of color around…
