Overview

The hike between Ksar Hadada and Ghomrassen is relatively short but with an exceptional density of sites!

On these 8 km you will cross all the periods of history:

In the very distant future we will visit the slave quarter in the city Mos Espa in the planet Tatooine as imagined in the SAGA "star Wars" then we delve into ancient geological ages to track down the footprints of dinosaurs engraved on the rocks, then we return to the present to visit Ghomrassen, a charming town nestled in the relief, and taste its world famous traditional pastries, before returning to prehistoric times to decipher the cave paintings dating back 5000 years.
