Sahara Under The Sky Tour

Day 1: A Journey Through Time and Desert Magic

Begin your adventure with a captivating dive into Roman history as you explore the awe-inspiring Coliseum of El Jem, one of the largest and best-preserved Roman amphitheaters in the world. Feel the echoes of ancient gladiators in this UNESCO-listed site, a symbol of the grandeur of Roman Africa.

Next, travel to the extraordinary village of Matmata, known for its distinctive troglodyte houses carved into the earth. These cave dwellings, still inhabited by Berber families, offer a fascinating glimpse into traditional ways of life and architecture adapted to the harsh desert environment.

After enjoying a delicious Tunisian lunch featuring local specialties, head south to the edge of the Sahara to reach Douz, often referred to as the “gateway to the desert.” Here, you’ll settle into an authentic tented camp, where the serene vastness of the dunes invites you to disconnect, unwind, and embrace the magic of the desert under a starlit sky.

Day 2: Sunrises, Star Wars, and Sacred Cities

Rise early to witness one of Tunisia’s most breathtaking natural spectacles: sunrise over Chott El Djerid, a vast salt lake whose shimmering mirages and surreal reflections create a dreamlike atmosphere.

Your journey continues to the mountain oasis of Chebika, where you’ll be enchanted by the contrast of lush palm groves, crystal-clear springs, and rugged canyon walls. Let nature’s beauty refresh and inspire you.

Next, venture into the cinematic landscapes of Ong Jemal, famously featured in the Star Wars saga. This otherworldly site, with its towering rock formations and desert expanse, feels like a portal to another planet.

Savor a traditional lunch in Gafsa, a city steeped in history, before making your way to Kairouan, Tunisia’s spiritual heart. Discover the city’s rich Islamic heritage, impressive architecture, and vibrant souks. Kairouan is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is home to the Great Mosque, one of the oldest in North Africa.

Day 3: Departure

Conclude your adventure as you return to your place of residence, carrying with you unforgettable memories, new perspectives, and a deep connection to the heart and soul of Southern Tunisia.
