This stamp highlights the canyons of Midès, one of the most spectacular mountain oases in southwest Tunisia. The illustration highlights the impressive verticality of the ocher rock walls which form this unique natural site, testifying to age-old erosion and the wild beauty of the pre-Saharan landscapes. The message promotes Tunisia's exceptional natural heritage, recalling that these suspended oases are geological treasures and pillars of national ecological tourism, symbols of the country's mineral majesty.
