Geocache Description:


… it’s true that to the

Sahara Desert

it is about 3 hours drive from the Djerba’s Flamingo Island, where the coordinates brought you. But here you find yourself amidst beautiful sandy dunes, a bit reminding those of the famous desert. Find the cache and compare how fine the Sahara sand is.

Please don’t remove the tube with the Sahara sand that we brought from our trip to Douze. Adding of your photo of sand would please us!

Sahara is the biggest desert of the world which takes 1/3 of the African continent. Tunisia’s Sahara share is small but very safe and well accessible by transportation, as well as very well equipped with touristic infrastructure. This part of Sahara is given priority by film-makers, e.g. B. Bertolucci. Sahara is composed here of three main types – stony hamáda, pebbles serír and sandy erg. Grass that grows here is called halfa and it is used for the production of paper. Only 25mm of precipitation fall down annually at the driest Sahara areas. Time flies slowly in Sahara, sand shifts and moves, colours change from white to yellow and golden-red. The dunes change their shapes and position. Position – global position – time to find the cache! :o)

Content of the cache in June 2010: Logbook No. 2, 2 pencils, sharpener, Sahara sand - please leave it in the cache... , keyring, nice Toyota car key, wood brain teaser, ceramic whistle, Cermaci CWG, TB Heroes from the USA.

This cache seems to be one of not that many working at Djerba, thus enjoy it and try to help to keep it running as long as possible.
