Day 1: From Roman History to the Oasis of Tozeur
Your journey begins with a pick-up in Tunis, Hammamet or Sousse for a fascinating first stop in El Jem. You will visit the Roman amphitheater, one of the best-preserved in the world and the third-largest in the Roman Empire.
After this immersion in history, you'll head to Tozeur, an oasis with an enchanting charm. You will be welcomed at a 4-star hotel for a relaxing overnight stay. Dinner will be served at the hotel, where you can recharge your batteries before the next day's adventure.
Day 2: Hidden Oases, Deserts and Movie Stars
After a delicious breakfast, head to the natural wonders of the region: the waterfalls of Chebika and Tamerza, followed by the impressive canyons of Mides. Your journey will then take you to the iconic site of Ong Jemel, the setting for the film "Star Wars," in the middle of the desert.
Return to Tozeur for a typical lunch before setting off in a private 4WD to Douz, the gateway to the desert. On the way, you will cross the mysterious Chott el Djerid salt lake and admire the striking contrast between the lush green oases and the golden dunes of the Sahara.
You'll spend a magical evening under the stars at the Douz Desert Camp, where an authentic dinner awaits you, followed by an evening around the campfire with traditional drumming.
Day 3: Douz, Matmata and Return
After breakfast at the camp, you will depart for Matmata, famous for its cave dwellings. You will visit these unique underground houses before enjoying a local lunch.
Then, return to Tunis, Hammamet or Sousse, where you will be dropped off at your chosen hotel or accommodation, with unforgettable memories of this Saharan adventure.
