Description

Embark on a 3-day adventure from Tunis, Sousse, Hammamet, or Monastir. Explore UNESCO sites, experience Berber culture, and spend nights in a desert camp and a bivouac under the stars.
Embark on a 3-day desert adventure from Tunis, Sousse, Hammamet, or Monastir. Begin with a visit to the world-famous Roman amphitheater in El Jem, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Continue to Matmata to explore its troglodyte houses and enjoy a traditional lunch with a local family.

In the afternoon, head to the Dunes Insolites Camp in Sabria, located at the gateway to the Sahara. Settle into a comfortable Bedouin tent and enjoy free time with optional activities like a camel ride at sunset, a 4x4 desert safari, quad biking, or sandboarding. Admire a magical sunset over the dunes while seated on a Berber rug. End the day with a traditional dinner under the stars and spend the night at the camp.

On day 2, enjoy breakfast at the camp and free time to relax or join optional activities. After lunch, depart with guides and camel drivers for a true desert trek. Travel by camel, 4x4, or even on foot for the adventurous. Your guides will carry all the essentials: tents, mattresses, and meals. Choose the perfect spot with your guide to set up your bivouac in the desert. Help prepare the camp, then enjoy a traditional dinner cooked over a wood fire. Spend the evening around a campfire under the starry sky, far from all civilization. Overnight in the desert: either in a nomadic tent or directly sleeping under the stars.

On day 3, wake up in the desert for a memorable sunrise breakfast. Return to the camp for a shower and short rest. Head towards Tozeur, jewel of the south. Visit the stunning mountain oases of Chebika and Tamerza, famous for their waterfalls, palm groves, and breathtaking views. Continue to Kairouan, Tunisia’s spiritual capital and UNESCO World Heritage site. Explore the medina, visit the Great Mosque, and soak up the city’s cultural atmosphere. Enjoy a traditional lunch in a local restaurant before returning to Tunis, Sousse, Hammamet, or Monastir.
