On the road from Metlaoui leave on MC 122, which runs north to join MC 201, coming from Gafsa. To the east of the road is a large salt lake, the Garaet el Douza, a port of call for huge numbers of migrant birds in autumn and winter. At the junction with MC 201 turn left (signposted Moularès). 500m/550yds beyond the junction, beside the road, are the foundations of a Roman villa; a mosaic found here is now in the museum in Metlaoui.
37km/23mi from Metlaoui is Moularès. The road runs through a desolate lunar landscape, cratered by mining and dotted with slag heaps.
