What you can expect

On the first day, visit a traditional troglodyte house in Matmata and meet a Berber family to discover their fascinating underground way of life. Continue toward Ksar Ghilane, a stunning desert oasis where you will have free time to relax and swim in the hot natural water spring. You’ll also have the opportunity to enjoy a camel ride through the vast sand dunes. Later in the afternoon, settle into your tent at the desert camp and watch the preparation of traditional sand bread baked beneath the desert sand. After dinner, spend the evening under a magnificent starry sky, soaking in the calm and beauty of the Sahara night.

On the second day, wake up early to experience a breathtaking sunrise over the dunes during a camel ride — a magical way to witness the birth of a new day in the desert. Then head to Chenini, a Berber village built into the mountains, and explore it with a local guide who will share stories about its history and traditions. Continue to Tataouine for a visit to its local market before taking the highway north toward El Jem. Upon arrival, enjoy a midday lunch and visit the famous Roman coliseum, one of Tunisia’s most remarkable ancient monuments. After the visit, drive back to your city, marking the end of this unforgettable two-day journey through Tunisia’s desert landscapes and cultural heritage.
