Travel Tunisia

At the biggest salt lake in the world at Chatt El_Jerid, Tunisia 140213

Amazing God's creation. A small waterfall in an arid hilly oasis in Termiza, Tunisia 130213 

Back from an 8 day trip to Tunisia with 9 seniors and 2 young ladies. It was an exhausting trip with me having flu a week before the trip and worsened during the trip. The hectic schedule was no help.But visiting Tunisia has always been my dream. It was as exotic as I always imagined. My idea of an oasis learned from young age has been properly corrected. We visited a big oasis with date farms, waterfalls and a small town. It wasn't as small as I thought.

Riding a camel over the dunes of Sahara Desert  wearing traditional Barber  attire  140213

Riding a camel over the dunes in Sahara Desert was a great experience. I find south of Tunisia is hauntingly beautiful with barren land, low mountains and dried bushes - definitely different with the normal beauty of the north with seaside and big cities.
The guide, Lutfi and the driver, Othman, loved us Malaysians because as always the Malays are great spenders and often disregard time and the comfort of others. I find this Malay habit disgusting. One senior woman even said, traveling without shopping is meaningless. The sights, culture, people and history are just side attractions. That was why they always took extra time to shop without consideration of those who boringly waited for them.
