This is an absolute must see! And on my travels through North Africa and elsewhere, I have never seen this. A camel walks around on the second floor of a building pulling the gears that draw water up.

I understand that this is a long tradition but in this day & age I’m sure there are mechanical alternatives than having a camel walk in endless circles. The best thing was the old coffee shop at the place.

Deep well powered by camel🐫. The camel turns a flywheel and brings the water up to the first floor. Animal seems to be well cared for even though I felt a little uncomfortable l.

Peculiar para ver. Aunque es mejor no escontrarlo en uso con un camello empujando la noria. El edificio en el que se aloja el pozo data de 1690 y se accede a él a través de una estrecha escalera en la que se encuentra una pequeña habitación en la que cabe un pozo con una noria accionado por un camello. Es una antigua obra hidráulica para abastecer a la población de esta zona desérticas de agua proveniente de la capa freática del subsuelo. En el mismo lugar te puedes tomar un zumo de granada preparado por un hombre muy simpático.

Very historical place.We stayed for two weeks. I think all of Tunisia influential. In my opinion, Tunisia is a Mediterranean country rather than a North African country.

I felt sad for the camel. The place is a bit hard to find for its on the first floor not ground floor. Just ask the locals and they are always happy to help you.
