Belvédère Rocks & Ras El Ain
رأس العين
A sandstone ridge on the western edge of the oasis, with steps to the top. It offers views over the palm groves, Chott el Djerid salt lake and the town, and is a good spot for sunset.
Belvedere Rock sits in the Ras El Ain spring area. Steps are cut into the rock, and the climb to the top takes about 10 minutes. From there, you get a 360-degree view of the Tozeur oasis and the white salt lake beyond. Carved portraits of the national poet Chebbi and others decorate the rock face. Nearby is Ras El Ain Park, where springs once converged. Admission is free. It gets crowded in the evenings, and camel and horse-drawn carriage operators often try to attract tourists.
