About Renting a Car at Tozeur Center

Tozeur is the gateway to Tunisia's Sahara, located at the edge of the Chott salt pans 450 km southwest of Tunis. With a rental car from the city center, you can explore the desert landscape, Star Wars filming locations, and the surrounding oasis villages at your own pace. Tozeur city center with its distinctive yellow-brown brick facades and palm gardens is compact and easy to drive through.

Chebika and Tamerza, two spectacular mountain villages, are located 50–70 km to the north via GP3 – a drive of about 1 hour. Rent an SUV or four-wheel-drive vehicle if you plan to drive out into the sand – most standard cars cannot handle the soft sand dunes outside the paved roads. Fill up your tank in Tozeur before excursions – petrol stations are rare in the desert area and can be 80–100 km apart.

Visit Onk Jemal (the Star Wars location) 20 km outside Tozeur early in the morning – temperatures rise quickly and sunlight is best for photography before 10 a.m. Can I drive to Douz and the Sahara sand dunes with a regular rental car? Douz is 100 km east of Tozeur and the road is paved all the way.

A standard car is sufficient to get to Douz, but four-wheel drive is needed for driving on the sand dunes. How long does it take to drive from Tozeur to Tunis? The distance is about 450 km and takes 4.5–5 hours via GP3 and the A1 motorway heading north.

It is recommended to break up the journey with a stop in Kairouan. Are the roads around Tozeur safe to drive on in winter? Yes, the winter months (November–March) are actually the best period to drive in the area – temperatures are pleasant and roads are in good condition.

Avoid driving during sandstorms.
