What to expect

Enjoy an unforgettable adventure in the Tunisian desert. Your day will begin with a pick-up from Djerba or Zarzis, after which you'll travel across the historic Roman causeway to reach the mainland. Your first stop is the mesmerising salt lake, where the interplay of reflections between sky and earth creates a magical panorama.

Next, you'll travel to the Berber village of Chenini, which is nestled on a mountainside. Here, you'll have the opportunity to explore ancient houses carved into the rock and old mosques, guided by a local expert. The panoramic views steeped in rich Berber culture are truly awe-inspiring. Next, you will visit Ksar Haddada, a former granary that has been transformed into a renowned filming location from the Star Wars franchise. This site offers a fascinating blend of authentic architecture and cinematic history.

As midday approaches, you'll arrive at Ksar Ghilane, a desert oasis surrounded by palm trees and red sand dunes. You can unwind in the natural hot springs or opt for an adventurous camel or quad bike ride to the nearby Roman fort of Tisavar. You'll then enjoy a traditional Tunisian lunch in an authentic setting, with a full meal bursting with local flavours — often including couscous and seasonal dishes.

This full-day tour offers a balanced mix of culture, history and desert adventure, making it an ideal choice for travellers seeking to explore Tunisia beyond the conventional tourist routes.
