Description

Explore the Berber heritage and landscapes of southern Tunisia, discover the markets of Tataouine and the village of Chenini, and then follow in the footsteps of Star Wars at Ksar Hadada.
Discover a different side of southern Tunisia on this day trip designed for travelers who want to explore spectacular landscapes, discover Amazigh culture and follow in the footsteps of the Star Wars universe.

After an early departure at 7:00 AM from your hotel in Djerba or Zarzis, head south and cross the famous Roman road before reaching the arid landscapes of the Tataouine region.

Your first stop will be the salt lake of Chahbania, a vast white expanse where the salt flats and reflections create a striking landscape. Take advantage of this moment to admire the striking contrasts between the desert, the sky and the salt flats.

Then continue to Tataouine, in the heart of a region deeply shaped by Berber culture. Discover the local market and enjoy some free time to stroll around, watch the artisans at work and soak up the everyday atmosphere of this city in southern Tunisia.

Continue to Chenini, a Berber village perched at the top of the Dahar Mountains. Accompanied by your guide, explore its ancient cave dwellings and granaries carved into the rock, which bear witness to an Amazigh way of life shaped by the landscapes and traditions of the region.

After this exploration, enjoy a traditional lunch at a local restaurant and take time to savor the region's specialties.

In the afternoon, continue your journey to Ksar Hadada, a remarkable traditional ksar that blends perfectly into the desert landscape. This place steeped in history is also famous for having served as a set for several Star Wars scenes, offering a unique blend of Tunisian heritage and international cinema.

After this immersion in culture, desert landscapes and film sets, take a leisurely drive back to Djerba or Zarzis.
