Chott bypass in Tunisia

The route continues over hard sand tracks, with some small dunes along the side of the road, but you don't have to cross them. The route is also manageable for touring enduros. For the most part, the track is perfectly straight. You continue on straight tracks where you can also speed along.

On the way back, you'll cross the paved road that leads to El Faouar again. If it's already late, you can take the paved road directly to Douz. There are no gas stations on this route.
