Zoo du Désert / Paradis

400m/440yds from the marabout, outside the village of Abbès, are the Zoo du Désert, another small desert zoo, and "Paradis", a small but interesting botanic garden. Here visitors can see desert animals and the plants of the oasis, including acacias, aloes, cactuses, henna, hibiscus and pomegranate trees. There is a small cafe "teas" made from various kinds of flowers.

From here it is possible either to continue to the shores of the Chott el Djerid or to return to Tozeur by way of the hamlet of Sahraoui.
