Full description

Set out on a magical 2-day desert adventure from Tunis, Hammamet, and Sousse to uncover the hidden gems of southern Tunisia.
This unforgettable journey begins with a scenic drive south, stopping to explore the ancient El Jem Coliseum, one of the best-preserved Roman amphitheaters in the world.
Continue to Matmata, where you'll step back in time and visit the fascinating troglodyte village, with the chance to meet a Berber family and learn about their unique way of life. Next, marvel at the Sidi Idriss troglodyte hotel, famous for its connection to the Star Wars saga.

As the day unfolds, head toward the desert town of Douz, where you’ll arrive at your desert camp for the night. Settle into your tent and soak in the breathtaking views of the desert landscape.
Enjoy free time to witness a mesmerizing sunset over the dunes, with an optional camel ride to enhance the experience.
Witness the ancient art of sand bread preparation, then gather around a campfire for a traditional Bedouin evening complete with local food and music. Spend the night under the stars in a comfortable tent, surrounded by the tranquil desert silence.

On Day 2, rise early to watch a stunning sunrise over the Chott Djerid, the largest salt flat in Tunisia, before visiting the picturesque oasis of Chebika. Finally, continue your journey to Kairouan, a UNESCO World Heritage site, where you’ll visit the Great Mosque, one of the most revered landmarks in the Islamic world. After this cultural exploration, you'll return to your hotel, filled with memories of the desert’s beauty and the rich history of southern Tunisia.

We had booked a licensed guide with the tour (optional at 200 euros). On the day, our driver picked us up at the hotel: no guide! After a phone call, he apologized, telling us we wouldn't be getting one... You can imagine our disappointment! As a result, we didn't get any directions during the visits, and it's a shame to go to one of the world's best-preserved Colosseums without any anecdotes about this emblematic site... What's more, we talk to Hamza (our driver) about our interest in another excursion with Sidi Bousaid, Carthage and the Medina of Tunis. He offers it to us for 250 dinard on the following Tuesday, and also to take us back to the airport at the end of the day (to catch our return flight). We accepted... and he never came to pick us up! He blocked us on WhatsApp, even though he'd confirmed the time the day before! Up at 6am for nothing, not to mention the stress of finding an airport transfer at the last minute...

It was fantastic. Mahmoud was a brilliant driver and so attentive and understanding about what we wanted to see. If you don’t have much time like us, it’s a great way to see a lot and ending in La Kasbah for a drink was a great way to end the tour.
