From Djerba: Discovery Trip to Ksar Ghilane / Matmata

Explore southern Tunisia on a day trip from Djerba. Visit the oasis of Ksar Ghilane, the troglodyte homes of Matmata, and the mountain village of Toujane.
Embark on a full-day excursion from Djerba to explore the stunning diversity of southern Tunisia. Begin your journey by crossing the ancient Roman causeway "El Kantara," a 7 km bridge connecting the island to the mainland. After a scenic photo stop, continue toward Médenine, passing through traditional Berber villages like Beni Kheddach, where the paved road gives way to the stark beauty of the stone desert (Reg).

Pause to capture the breathtaking desert landscapes before arriving at the remote oasis of Ksar Ghilane, nestled at the edge of the Grand Erg Oriental sand dunes. Enjoy free time or take an optional camel ride across the dunes (payable locally). A hearty traditional lunch awaits you.

In the afternoon, travel to the mountain village of Tamezret, with a photo stop offering panoramic views, then continue to the legendary troglodyte homes of Matmata. Visit a traditional underground dwelling and enjoy a tasting of authentic Berber tea and handmade bread.

On the return to Djerba, make a final photo stop in the scenic mountain village of Toujane, before concluding this unforgettable desert experience.
