MIDES

Deserted village 

Old Mides is all but abandoned, just a cafe or two persists. The streets are accessible, and a few houses still stand to allow you a glimpse into what life must have been before the road and the tourists first came here.

little_lake A lake out here???

On the road to Mides, there is decent-sized cyan lake. From where I saw, there was no indications of dams, but I assume there must be. Nevertheless, it is filled with local water. Out here on the border of Sahara.

HOTELS AND ALTERNATIVES

There are two camping grounds in town. They are basic, but with friendly staff. If you want a hotel for the night, go to Tamerza (6 km). Little, there are a few basic cafes. Go to Tamerza for better eating.

CHANGE MONEY

Nothing. Try to do it in Tamerza, but don't be surprised if the hotels won't do this for non-residents. In such a case, exchange money in Tozeur.

TRANSPORT

No quick forms of getting away from here. Donkey rides for tourists to Tamerza, but apart from that you might have to resort to hitching.
