The south-east of Tunisia is rich in a large desert on both sides of its roads there are olive trees, palm trees, and cacti, it contains a reserve to protect animals, it is a place to visit and home to many types of desert animals including deer and ostriches.
The Smar region contains land that looks like the surface of the moon and multicolored rocks, and the mountains surround the road that runs through you from Ramtha to Dhahiba, the path is covered on both sides with sand dunes, of which some cover the road.

Crossing the road from Ben Guerdane to Park Sidi El Tawy requires a permit, or you will be subject to interrogation
