Overview

Discover the highlights of southern Tunisia on an unforgettable 3-day journey from Kairouan to the Sahara. Explore Kairouan’s Islamic heritage and traditional crafts, discover the mountain oases of Chebika and Tamerza, visit Star Wars filming locations, cross the spectacular Chott El Jerid and spend a night under the stars in a desert camp. Meet local Berber families in Matmata before exploring the magnificent Roman amphitheatre of El Jem.

But this journey is about more than sightseeing. We want you to experience Tunisia as if you were visiting a close friend in their home country. Share authentic moments with local people, discover the traditions, taste the flavors and feel the warmth, generosity and genuine friendship of Tunisian hospitality. Come not simply as a traveler, but as a welcomed guest—and leave with memories and connections that go beyond the excursion itself.
