What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
The Mora Sahara Tozeur is fully immersed in the Sahara, within driving distance of the dunes where the original Star Wars was shot.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
The vast Chott el Djerid salt flats stretch nearby, with Tozeur's historic medina and Atlas mountain oases a short drive away.
The rooms
Deluxe suites feature deep marble bathtubs and desert-facing terraces, while standalone villas add private swimming pools and outdoor sunken tubs.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The curved main pool sits among date palms and parasols, joined by a separate quiet swimming area.
The spa and hammam
The spa includes two marble hammams, and treatments draw on desert mud and salt from Chott El Jerid.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
Breakfast is set on carved wooden tables facing the desert sunrise, and lantern-hung dining rooms open to the palm terrace.
How it began
Opened in 2019, the low-rise oasis compound draws directly on southern Tunisian vernacular architecture and local Saharan brickmaking traditions.
