Djerba: Chenini Tataouine Hidden Village & Sahara desert

Explore the Sahara Desert on a 4x4 offroad (Prado) tour from Djerba. Visit the thermal springs of Ksar Ghilane, hike through the ancient village of Chenini, and discover the granaries of Tataouine.
Begin your journey at dawn, crossing the ancient Roman Causeway that links Djerba to the African continent. Climb the Dahar Mountains to reach Ain El Amba. Pause for a private coffee moment at the mountain’s summit, offering a panoramic "birds-eye" view of the Jeffara Plain before descending into the wild desert tracks.

Navigate the stony "Reg" desert to arrive at the emerald heart of the Sahara: Ksar Ghilane. While the red dunes of the Great Oriental Erg tower above you, immerse yourself in the natural thermal spring, known for its healing properties. For the adventurous, optional camel or quad treks lead to the silent Roman Fort of Tisavar, buried deep in the sand.

Following an authentic Saharan lunch, travel to Chenini, a village seemingly carved into the clouds. With a local specialist, hike through its ancient corridors to see the underground homes still inhabited today. Visit the legendary White Mosque of the Seven Sleepers, hearing the mystical tales of the giants that once protected this peak.

Conclude in Tataouine, the historic crossroads of caravan routes. Explore the architectural genius of the "Ghorfas"—centuries-old fortified granaries. Stop at the local market to taste the "Gazelle Horns" pastry, handmade with honey and nuts, before your scenic sunset drive back to Djerba.
