What to expect

Enjoy a unique 2 day experience:

Day 1: Your tour will begin as you depart from your hotel to Tataouine and begin by crossing Roman Road. You will then take a break at the salt lake of Chahbania. Following this, you will enjoy a 40-minute stroll in the streets of Tataouine's marke, before heading the village of Chenini, where you will enjoy a walk to discover it with a local guide. At midday, you will taste the flavors of a local meal in a Berber restaurant. Following lunch, you will cross the Erg and head to Ksar Ghilane. Upon your arrival you can enjoy a swim in its natural water spray. By the end of the day, you will go to your camp to enjoy one of the best sunsets of Southern Tunisia. Here, you will have a tent, be able to take a shower, and can also experience the preparation of "sand bread" just before dinner. Following dinner, you will enjoy free time to admire the starry sky in the silence of the desert.

Day 2: Following breakfast, you will head to Matmata, the troglodyte village. Your first stop will be to the Berber village of Tamazret, where you can taste an "amandes" tea. Following the break, you will visit a Berber family at their underground house, where you will enjoy an authentic local lunch. Following lunch you will head to Sidi Idriss, a troglodyte hotel where some scenes of the Star Wars film had been shot. The final visit of the day will be to the Berber village of Toujane. At the end of the day, you will be returned safely to your hotel.
