From Yasmine Hammamet/Sousse: 2-Day Sahara Exploration
Day 1 Amphitheatre of El Jem We visit, with our licensed guide, the best-preserved amphitheater in the world at El Jem. This building, dating from the Roman era, is a witness to the glory of its lands at that time. Matmata We visit the dwellings of the troglodytes, the natives of this country, the Berbers, who lead a different way of life from the current one. These warm people will make us taste their local products and discover an extraordinary world. Sahara Desert At the end of the day, you will go for a camel ride in the middle of the desert, with a 360° view of the dunes, and you will admire the sunset, a wonderful moment. Accommodation: 4-star Hotel Day 2 Chott El Jerid We will admire the sunrise at the salt lake, a pleasant landscape where the Atlas mountain range draws us a melody of colors. Tozeur In Tozeur, we change the transport to a 4x4 circuit which lasts 3 hours with an exceptional change of landscape; we visit the canyons, the dunes, the oasis, and the decoration of the Star Wars movie. Kairouan We visit the city of Kairouan and the Great Mosque, the fourth holiest city for Muslims, where we will admire the medieval Islamic architecture. Kairouan is the capital of tapestry; we visit the house of carpets to get an idea of Tunisian craftsmanship.
