Tunisia - The Canyon and Chebika Walking Tour
Tamerza is the largest mountain oasis in Tunisia, known as Ad Turres by the Romans. It has a pleasant canyon and has an abandoned old town. The town was abandoned after the river flooded for 22 days in 1969. It is located north of the salt lakes and receives fresh water from the nearby hills. It is in the hillcountry near the border with Algeria, and is 6km from Mides.
Tamarza
Tamarza is located close to the Algerian border, 70km from Tozeur. Tamerza is surrounded by steep and wild area country and is renownd for its clear water cascades and springs that irrigate the towns park.
Chebika is an oasis mountain south of Tunisia , specifically west of the governorate of Tozeur .
It probably corresponds to the ancient advanced post of Ad Speculum. Located on the limes Sahara linking Tebessa in Gafsa , the Romans there were using mirrors to communicate with other stations and report possible enemy incursions.
The present village of Chebika is built near the old abandoned village in 1969 as a result of floods deadly that left more than 400 dead in Tunisia. The site writes Jean Duvignaud , "is placed in the intersection of two advanced mountain that opens here to the desert" .
The urban fabric consists of a chessboard whose lines are formed by streets intersecting at the level of the market place.
