Tunisian Couscous Legume at Restaurant Tozorous in Tozeur Tunisia

Couscous Legume in Restaurant Tozorous Tozeur Tunisia

After a tiring journey from Sousse on the overnight train and a long walk, with rucksacks, around Tozeur in South West Tunisia, Heather and I wanted to try the local cuisine and treated ourselves to a lunch in a local restaurant.

We came across the Restaurant Tozorous by happenstance, wallking off the main road around the town.  What caught our eye was the sign "salle climatisée".  However, there was no electric air conditioning, the lovely cool air in the dining room was the result of the natural insulation of the palm wood walls and roof.

We enjoyed a simple tomato, onion and olive oil starter, followed by couscous legume for Heather and a couscous royal for myself.  The service was excellent, the food was great and the prices were very good value. If you are ever in Tozeur in the south west of tunisia pop in for lunch like we did.

By the way, all the praise is richly deserved and we enjoyed eating real traditional couscous in a restaurant patronised by locals.

Tunisian blacksmith making farm tools in Tozeur Tunisia

Tunisian blacksmith making farm tools for the palm tree agriculture in Tozeur , Tunisia

Walking past the palm groves in Tozeur Tunisia, I heard the sound of metal thumping on metal with the distinctive rhythym of blacksmith working metal on a anvil.  I put my head through an open doorway and saw a local man making or repairing a farm tool.

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.

Night Train to Tozeur in Tunisia

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.
