Program Description
Set off on a two-day journey through the spectacular landscapes of southern Tunisia. Discover desert scenery, visit traditional Berber villages and spend the night in a camp on the edge of the Sahara.
Your adventure begins by leaving Djerba via the historic Roman causeway linking the island with the mainland. The first stop is Medenine, where you will see the distinctive ghorfas, former fortified granaries. The tour then continues to Tataouine, with time to visit the local market, followed by the Berber village of Chenini. After lunch, enjoy an exciting off-road drive through the desert towards the oasis of Ksar Ghilane, where you will have dinner and spend the night at Zmela Camp.
On the second day, explore Ksar Ghilane, the southernmost palm oasis in Tunisia, home to the ruins of a Roman fort (entrance to the fort is available for an additional fee). The journey then continues to Matmata, where you will visit a traditional Berber troglodyte house. After lunch, enjoy another off-road adventure through the mountain and desert landscapes of southern Tunisia before returning to Djerba by ferry.

Reviews
An amazing, unforgettable adventure that I would definitely recommend! We visited some beautiful places, learned a lot about the local culture, and had the chance to try some delicious local food. Our guide, Habib, was fantastic. Very friendly and helpful. Also - a great driver who made the journey comfortable and enjoyable (Sahara off-road!) I especially recommend the Sahara experience by quad bike, as well as the camel ride to watch the sunrise and sunset in the desert — both were truly unforgettable! One thing to be aware of: there is an error on the Itaka website. The prices shown in dinars are actually in euros, so keep this in mind when planning your budget. It’s also worth taking some cash with you, as there are plenty of activities to choose from and some lovely souvenirs to buy. I would happily go on this trip again. Definitely an experience worth having!
An excellent choice for a day trip. Plenty of attractions and a reliable guide. Around 560 km and including some wonderful sites in this region of Tunisia. The Sahara is unforgettable.
