Description
This octagonal stamp highlights the exceptional geological and natural heritage of southern Tunisia, specifically the site of Smar in the governorate of Tataouine. The illustration captures the desert and tormented aspect of the relief which, through its striking resemblance to the soil of distant stars, has earned it the nickname “lunar landscape”. This subject underlines the tourist and cinematographic attractiveness of the region, recalling that these arid lands constitute an essential part of Tunisian territorial identity and a precious testimony to the geological history of North Africa.
