Description
Embark on a 2-day private adventure from Hammamet to Tozeur. Explore El Jem, Matmata, Douz, and mountain oases, and spend a magical night in a Sahara desert camp under the stars.
This 2-day private desert adventure begins with an early morning departure from Hammamet or Tunis towards the south of Tunisia. The journey takes you first to the majestic Amphitheatre of El Jem, one of the best-preserved Roman monuments in North Africa, where entry is included. Continue to Matmata, a unique Berber village famous for its troglodyte houses carved into the rock, and enjoy lunch in a local restaurant. The adventure continues toward Douz, known as the “Gateway to the Sahara,” where you can enjoy optional camel or quad rides in the dunes of Sabria. Spend the night in a traditional desert camp or hotel under the stars.
The second day starts with breakfast before crossing the shimmering Chott El Jerid salt lake towards the mountain oases. Discover the breathtaking landscapes of Chebika, Tamerza, and Midès, where waterfalls and canyons create a striking contrast with the desert. Lunch will be served in Tamerza before continuing to Tozeur, to explore its charming medina and palm groves. On the return journey to Hammamet, enjoy a brief stop in Kairouan for a quick city tour before arriving back around 6:30–7:00 PM.
