 In the last episode, I left the city of Cairoan to make my way to Tauser and start my adventure in western Tunisia, a region with an incomparable beauty. Today we will visit the mountain oasis of Shibika, Tamarza, the canyon of Midas and visit to the original movie set of Star Wars in the middle of the desert. My name is Saber. Now we visit the first mountain oasis Shibika and in Shibika we can see the old village, the Atlas mountain, waterfall, spring, it's a tour about 45 minutes. Welcome to Shibika everybody. The mountains that you see behind me is an extension of the Atlas mountains. The mountain range starts in Morocco and going all the way to Gafsa here in Tunisia. Incredible views, beautiful landscape and right now we're going on a little hike just strolling around the mountains and enjoying this landscape completely out of this world. This is amazing. Before we started our hike, we passed a small village where the burbers used to live but unfortunately they moved out of this area because of the flush floods. It's very common out here especially when it rains a lot. So the government helped them establish a new village called New Shibika. So they have a housing right there where the burbers are living but there's still some property out there so we were able to see inside of some of these houses. They built them with the you know just basic material. They used a lot of palm trees to help build the roofs and such and that was pretty neat to see. And we learned earlier that millions of years ago this was a sea and so we were even able to see some fossils and shells on the rocks. So even right here you can see it in the rocks. We made our way to the bottom here where there is an oasis. Actually there is a water source and we were told that the temperature of this water source changes sometimes it's warm and other times it's pretty cold so we're gonna try and taste some water. There's a tiny little water source right there. The natural shampoo used for the black skin and for the hair. So this is it's comes through this mountain there it's used by the Berber people and the arabic people now till now they use this. How do you call it in arabic? So this is a natural shampoo. Champon d'argile french language. We just stopped here to check viewpoints overlooking the whole canyon and oh my gosh it's very windy like i've never heard this strong of a noise from the wind. We just arrived to Temerza. Here there's supposed to be a real nice and large waterfall that we're going to check out for a bit. There are also just a bunch of vendors out here you can buy some souvenirs, head scarves because it's pretty popular in the Sahara to protect you from from the sand slash. We might need them later on for the day but for right now i make my way all the way there inside the canyon and see what the waterfall looks like. Let's go! That's the waterfall and i'm gonna make my way to the bottom. This is Midas a city on the border of Tunisia with Algeria and it's known for this wonderful canyon behind me. It is beautiful the landscapes beautiful the oasis the waterfalls everything that we've been seeing throughout the day today is amazing but this canyon so unique and i thought that there's actually a hiking trail that you can take if you want to make your way all the way down inside the canyon which i'm not sure if we will do that today but regardless the views from here are just so epic. We stopped for lunch on the way to fuel up before heading to the heart of the Tunisian deserts for another epic adventure. We finally made it to Aoun Qajmal. That ride was pretty insane. Aoun Qajmal it translates to the neck of a camel because of the rock formation up there especially if you see it from the other side it looks very much like the neck of a camel. It's deserted it's wide it's open and i'm very happy that we made it up here. We were told that the only sign the only road sign in the whole deserts out here is Aoun Qajmal that's it that was the only sign the first sign that we saw and probably we're not seeing anything else but anyway i'm gonna make my way all the way up there and see what the views look like from up top. You didn't know there are actually a bunch of them spread all around Tunija. This is the first one i'm seeing during my visit. Pretty impressive so you can see there are some of the houses right here. This is super neat i know for everyone who's a big fan of Star Wars you will definitely enjoy seeing this. When i met my husband he made sure that i watch every single one of them and i did watch all of the Star Wars and this being here actually brings so much joy to my heart knowing that it was actually filmed here. Southern Tunija is famous for a unique culinary tradition a type of bread baked in the sand in the heart of the desert. This tradition is anchored in the nomadic populations who lived in the desert. The bread is stuffed with tomato sauce, harissa and some cheese. It's then buried in the sand to get cooked. It's one of the most delicious breads i've ever had. That's the good stuff.
