Wild bivouac desert night from Djerba and Zarzis

Embark on a 2-day desert tour through southern Tunisia and experience the magic of the Sahara like never before. This guided adventure blends culture, nature, and unforgettable landscapes — perfect for explorers, culture lovers, and Star Wars fans.

Start your journey with a visit to Chenini, a stunning hilltop Berber village known for its troglodyte homes carved into the mountain. Continue to the palm-fringed oasis of Ksar Ghilane, where you can swim in natural hot springs and enjoy an optional camel ride at sunset across the golden dunes.

Spend the night in traditional Bedouin-style tents under the stars, with a local dinner featuring authentic Tunisian cuisine and freshly baked sand bread.

On day two, awaken to a serene sunrise over the dunes before heading to Matmata, home to underground dwellings and iconic Star Wars filming locations. Visit a local Berber family and explore charming mountain villages like Tamazret and Toujane, each offering panoramic views of the desert landscape.

Ideal for those seeking the best desert excursions in Tunisia, off-the-beaten-path cultural tours, and unique overnight Sahara stays
