Camel in the middle of the desert - Tunisia

Special feature Tunisia : Camel in the middle of the desert

Tuscan meadows, farms modeled on ancient latifundias, brick wells supported by palm tree trunks. A young camel tied to a wooden post surveys the immediate vicinity like a guard dog watching his patch. To get here; a sand track lined with prickly pear trees planted on embankments of earth. Even the most primitive of urban centres seems miles away given that the clock seems to have been turned back 2000 years. The coastline hides behind the undulating surface on the ground. The tops of the palm trees sway to the rhythm of the wind, often full of sand from the desert. For a moment you think there has been a climate change in the Sahara. But in less than 10 you're on the Djerba coastal road, with the enigmatic feeling of moving between two worlds, the two faces of the island, of which the more secret is only found in spring when Djerba is in blossom. To discover the city, don't follow the signs: take the first track, direction Midoun.
