Desert and green garden  Zaafrane as a city is not really more than any simple settlement found anywhere in Tunisia, with simple square houses, and a couple of cafes along the street. On the southern side of the houses, real dunes are found, cut through by some palm trees, and for as far as you can see, the occasional palm tree is still found. But if you look in the right direction, you get a real feeling of what Sahara can be like. The colours out here are lighter than in many other parts of the Sahara, almost white during the middle of the day. On the other side of the street, the oasis is arranged. This is cut by two metre wide tracks, and the gardens of the palms are green and fresh, with grass growing thick out of the fertile soil. Everything in this oasis seems to be extremely well kept, and during the time when the dates are closing up to the time of harvest, they are all covered by yellow plastic to protect them from a rainfall that seldom comes.
