Tozeur - New Town

The hub of the new town of Tozeur is Place Ibn Chabbat, named after the 13th century imam who laid down the water distribution system for the oases. Flanking the square are the market hall built during the French protectorate, dominated by the minaret of the Great Mosque, the post office, banks, cafes and restaurants. In this area too are the larger hotels, mainly on Avenue Abou el Kacem ech Chabbi, along the south side of the new town.
