What you can expect

Begin your adventure with an early departure, allowing you to make the most of the day and enjoy the changing colours of the desert at sunrise.

The first stop is the stunning mountain oasis of Tamerza, famous for its dramatic canyon, natural waterfalls, and panoramic desert views. Take time to explore the canyon, capture incredible photos, and enjoy the peaceful beauty of this unique landscape.

Next, cross the spectacular Chott el Jerid, the largest salt lake in North Africa. This vast white expanse creates magical mirages and surreal scenery that feels like another planet.

Continue to Douz, known as the “Gateway to the Sahara.” Here, you can enhance your experience with optional desert activities:

Quad biking in the dunes for an adrenaline-filled ride across the Sahara.

Camel ride or horse-drawn carriage for a traditional and relaxing desert experience.

After exploring the dunes, visit a traditional Berber troglodyte house in Matmata, where locals have lived for centuries in underground homes carved into the earth. Discover the fascinating architecture and learn about Berber traditions and daily life.

The final historical highlight is the underground corridors of the majestic Amphitheatre of El Jem, one of the largest Roman amphitheatres in the world. Walk through the backstage areas where gladiators once prepared for battle and immerse yourself in ancient Roman history..
