Dawn arrival by train at Tozeur railway station in Tunisia


After a long and cold night train journey from Sousse, the video shows us getting our bearings in the dark early hourse of the morning, at the rail station at Tozeur in Tunisia.

Heather and I took a look around the Tozeur SNCFT railway station and at the train waiting at the platform, ready to return to Sousse.

The walls of the ticket booking area were wonderfully tiled in the Islamic art style.  Outside in the car park it was pitch dark, except for the bright light of the moon.  

The trains from Sousse, the tourist city on the coast, and terminate at Tozeur, an oasis city in the south west of Tunisia.  We watched the train locomotives being unhitched and hitched for the return journey.

If you have an interest in watching some more videos of railways and trains, you can find several more videos of SNCFT (Tunisian Railways) on my Tozeur YouTube video playlist.

Heather and I flew to Enfiddah in Tunisia using Thomson Flights from Manchester Airport.  The videos in our blog posts are filmed using a Kodak Zi10 PlayTouch personal video recorder.

We took a look around the station and at the train waiting at the platform, which was getting ready to return to Sousse.  The illuiminated sign shows the word توزر Tozeur in both Arabic and English.
