Overview

Your incredible adventure into the Tunisian desert starts as you cross the ancient Roman causeway to the mainland, pausing along the way at a charming café nestled among olive groves. Here, your guide will present a detailed itinerary of your journey from Djerba to Ksar Ghilane, complete with a map. The next stop is Ain El Amba, a mountain that offers panoramic views over the Jeffara plain, an ideal photo opportunity. From there, you'll venture onto the rugged trails of the Tunisian desert. The dramatic change in scenery and the thrill of riding across rocky terrain in a 4x4 off-road vehicle or SUV is sure to excite.

In the heart of the desert, take a moment to appreciate the profound silence and capture some photos. If you're lucky, you might even spot a Bedouin herding goats, sheep, or dromedaries. By mid-morning, you'll arrive at the oasis of Ksar Ghilane, where golden dunes meet verdant palm groves. Take a refreshing dip in the natural hot spring that nourishes the surrounding oasis. Nearby, optional quad or dromedary rides can take you to the Roman fort of Tisavar, built between AD 184–191 and last occupied in WWII.

After exploring, you'll be served a traditional Tunisian lunch featuring dishes such as salad or soup, couscous, and seasonal fruit. The journey continues to Matmata, with a stop in Tamazret for rosemary almond tea (“thé zret”), a visit to a troglodyte home, Sidi Idriss (Star Wars filming site), and the Berber village of Toujane before returning to Djerba.
