Where to stay in Tozeur

Tozeur is a small town, so the choice of a place to stay comes down to distance from the two things you walk to: the old town of Ouled el Hadef and the oasis. Stay in the centre and you reach both without a ride; pick a hotel on the edge of town and you get a pool and quiet, with a short drive to the sights. A room in a 3-star hotel is about €19 per person.

A room in the centre means reaching the old brick of Ouled el Hadef and the entrance to the oasis on foot, with no ride and no haggling with a taxi driver. This suits anyone staying two days who wants that time spent seeing the town instead of riding through it. The old town's streets are narrow, so a car does more harm than good here.

The edge of town: a pool and quiet, a short drive away

Larger hotels sit on the edge of town, along the road toward the oasis, with a pool and a garden — a real difference in summer, when the middle of the day goes to shade and water instead of sightseeing. Reaching the old town and the museum needs a taxi or organised transport. A room is about €19 per person.

For two days

For the standard two-day visit the centre has the edge — less driving, a shorter walk to an early start at the old town. The edge of town makes sense once a third day for Douz is added, since that day means a car anyway. Landing by air, the taxi from the airport is the same to either part of town, 10–15 min.
