Nefta Oasis & La Corbeille
نفطة / القرقب
A Sufi holy city about 25 km west of Tozeur. Date palm groves fill a huge basket-shaped valley, ringed by mosques and white shrines.
Nefta is an important center of Sufism in North Africa, with many mosques and saints' tombs. North of town, La Corbeille (The Basket) is a sunken spring valley where date palms fill the depression like a basket. Cafés on the rim offer the best views. The old town's brick architecture resembles Tozeur's. Taxis or driving take about 30 minutes from Tozeur. Visitors often schedule Nefta on the same day as the Star Wars filming locations.
