From Tunis: 2-Day Star Wars, Sahara Camp & Oasis Adventure

Discover Tunisia's cinematic landscapes on a 2-day trip from Tunis. Visit Matmata's Star Wars setting, spend a night in a Sahara camp, and explore the mountain oasis of Chebika.
Leave the busy cities and Mediterranean coast behind for a 2-day journey combining Tunisia’s cinematic landscapes, Sahara traditions, and spectacular mountain oases.

Your adventure begins with pickup from your selected location in northern Tunisia. Travel south and make a stop in El Jem, where you can admire the impressive Roman amphitheater. Entrance is optional, allowing you to decide whether you would like to visit the monument before continuing deeper into southern Tunisia.

The main discovery of the day is Matmata, a remarkable Berber region known for its lunar landscapes and underground troglodyte homes. Visit a traditional dwelling and discover the architecture and lifestyle that have shaped this region for generations. Matmata is also internationally known for its connection to the Star Wars universe, where its unusual landscapes and troglodyte architecture helped bring the planet Tatooine to life.

After lunch, continue toward Sabria and the Sahara, where the scenery changes dramatically as the first great dunes appear.

Arrive at Dunes Insolites Desert Camp and settle into your authentic Sahara tent. The afternoon is yours to experience the desert your way. For more adventure, add an optional camel ride, quad-bike experience, or 4x4 dunes excursion. You can also enjoy the sand dunes and watch the colors change as the sun sets over the Sahara.

As night falls, experience the atmosphere of desert life with traditional entertainment, an equestrian show, and a demonstration of Mella, traditional bread prepared in the sand. Enjoy dinner at the camp followed by a campfire beneath the desert sky.

Spend the night surrounded by the silence of the Sahara.

After breakfast on Day 2, leave the camp and travel across Chott El Jerid, the immense salt lake famous for its endless horizons and surreal desert scenery. Stop for photos before continuing toward the mountains.

Reach Chebika, where a completely different landscape awaits. Walk through this beautiful mountain oasis, where palm trees and natural springs emerge between dramatic rocky formations.

After exploring the oasis, enjoy lunch and begin your return journey north, arriving back at your selected drop-off area in the evening.

This experience combines three different sides of southern Tunisia in just two days: the cinematic landscapes of Matmata, the adventure and traditions of the Sahara, and the natural beauty of Chebika oasis.
