i am originally from gabes, glad you showed the oasis.

[@ScafidiTravels]

It's a beautiful part of the country. Definitely worthy of UNESCO World Heritage Status. Let's hope they get it soon!

Another great video.
Keep them coming plz.
The Tunisian should restore the Church ✝️ And the Synagogue ✡️ in Gabes..
Not 100% sure but i think the European works in an oil field on the coast of Gabes rather then the South ( Sahara Desert )
The lettuce 😂😂😂
He’s a very kind man.
May be he’s growing them in his farm, Or his own garden.
That’s a nice gesture 👍

The lettuce was a nice surprise!

The lettuce (gift you received) it's a typical product of the region.. They keep their authentic paesan seeds and they gave you a precious symbol of their struggle against the seeds industry!!

That's awesome, thanks for clarifying!
