Djerid Oasis in Tozeur, Tunisia 🇹🇳

Visite Tozeur si tu veux voir un paradis, où les eaux coulent à flot

Une rivière coule sur le sable blanc, comme une feuille brillante et se laisse admirer par l’observateur...

Ces jardins sont comme autant de paradis et la terre est comme le musc dont la brise révèle la senteur

Les palmiers sont comme autant de mariées dont la cime se déploie dans le ciel... 💚

A poem by “Abou El Kacem Chebbi”

Inspired by my favorite French novel “The Lady of the Camellias” that’s also based on a true story of Alexandre Dumas and his lover. I’m still not over this bloody book and every time i read it I literally burst into tears..
