We continue our way towards the city ... The desert region of Chott-El-Jérid sometimes reserves a few surprises, since you will find sellers of semi-precious stones along the road ...
You can therefore treat yourself to the famous sand rose … I had already seen a sand rose when I was a child because my parents had brought back one of their trip to Tunisia and I had foolishly believed that this stone was created with camel pee! It was only years later that I understood the hoax ... The sand roses are not the fruit of a pressing need for a camel (especially in Tunisia there is only Dromedaries)… No, these are in fact the result of a crystallization of minerals (often gypsum), which can take several thousand years…
The sellers are very generous and kindy with us, they have allowed us to wear several Sahara uniforms. See how beautiful wears ...
These Tuareg outfits are worn when a strong wind of sand has risen, to prepare before going to face the sand, ready to go and explore these very beautiful landscapes that we see further....See you in the next amazing part...
