2 Days Private Tunisia Tour

Day 1: Ancient History and Underground Living (El Djem, Matmata, Douz)

1. Amphitheatre D'el Jem
   20m · Admission ticket included
   The tour usually starts with a visit to this impressive Roman ruin. You'll see one of the best-preserved Roman amphitheatres in North Africa, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and an immense structure that once hosted gladiator contests.
2. Matmata
   1h
   You'll travel to the "lunar" landscape of Matmata. The main attraction here is visiting the Troglodyte (Underground) Houses, traditional Berber homes dug into the earth to escape the heat. You'll typically get to step inside one of these unique dwellings.
3. Douz
   3h
   The day concludes by reaching Douz. This town is often referred to as the "Gateway to the Sahara."
   
   Optional Sahara Activities: Upon arrival, travelers usually have the option (at an extra cost) to take a camel ride or a quad bike excursion into the nearby sand dunes to experience the Saharan sunset.

Day 2: Salt Lakes, Desert Oases, and Film Sets (Chott El Djerid, Tozeur, Ong Jmal)

1. Chott El Jerid
   Pass by
   An early start often involves crossing this enormous salt flat, the largest in North Africa. The vast white or pink expanse (depending on the time and weather) offers incredible photo opportunities, and travelers sometimes stop to see the mirage phenomenon.
2. Tozeur
   2h
   Tozeur Oasis and Medina: You may have a chance to visit the old medina, famous for its unique brick architecture, and take a tour of the lush palm groves, sometimes via an optional horse-drawn carriage ride.
3. Star Wars Mos Espa filming location
   3h · Admission ticket included
   This is a major highlight. You will typically switch to a 4x4 vehicle for an exciting drive into the desert.
   
   Ong Jmal (Camel's Neck): A photo stop at the distinctive rock formation, which is Arabic for "Camel's Neck."
   
   Mos Espa Film Set: You will visit the iconic, purpose-built film set for the city of Mos Espa on the planet Tatooine, used in Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace and Episode II – Attack of the Clones.
4. Chebika
   1h
   Some tours will include a visit to the nearby mountain oases like Chebika and Tamerza, which feature stunning canyons and waterfalls, before heading back north.
