Description
This stamp highlights the modern infrastructure serving Saharan tourism. The illustration combines the typical architecture of Jérid (Tozeur), recognizable by its raised brick patterns and its arcades, with the dynamism of air transport symbolized by the contrails of two planes. The palm tree, pillar of the oasis, completes this composition which links ancestral heritage to openness to the world. The message focuses on opening up the regions of southern Tunisia and the ambition to make the gateway to the desert an international crossroads for travelers in search of heritage and nature.
