Tozeur, gateway to the Sahara and a city of distinctive ochre bricks, hosts this festival in its palm groves and cultural spaces. The programme includes folk group performances, camel parades, craft exhibitions and tastings of local produce.

The festival is also a window into the nomadic and sedentary traditions of southern Tunisia, offering visitors an immersion in a preserved ancestral way of life.
