PLANNING NOTES
How to shape Tataouine
01
Use Tataouine historic core as the orientation base, then group Tataouine historic anchor and Tataouine market and food route before crossing to the other side of Tataouine.
02
Give Tataouine waterfront or civic edge its own slower block; the local rhythm there is more useful than adding another distant headline stop.
03
Plan Tataouine regional landscape as a deliberate extension from Tataouine regional base, checking return timing before committing the day.
