Metlaoui Selja is where we boarded the "Old Bey's" train, know as the "Red Lizard." It is a two hour rail journey through the narrow Selja gorges to the phosphate mine.

A passenger train from the 19th century that runs along old mining tracks from Metlaoui to Redeyef (which is about a 45 min journey) through the red and pink rocks, split by canyons of the Saharan Atlas mountains in central Tunisia.

The train and track were built in 1910 by the Tunisian Govenor. The 'Lizard' also used to serve the phosphate mines from Metaloui, but now it is only a tourist attraction. Today, this is the only way to visit the gorges of Selja.
