On this 2-day tour through the Sahara Desert from Hammamet, we'll visit places such as El Djem, Matmata, Douz, Chott El Djerid Lake, and Kairouan. A full adventure through dunes and troglodyte homes!
After hotel pickup in Hammamet, we’ll begin our journey south, crossing the fertile plains of Tunisia. After about 1 hour and 30 minutes, with a short break for breakfast on your own, we'll arrive at El Djem Amphitheatre, a masterpiece from 238 AD. Get ready to discover the history of this UNESCO World Heritage Site!
Next, we’ll head to Matmata, famous for its troglodyte homes carved into the clay rock. We'll learn how the Berbers ingeniously adapted to the extreme climate. We'll also visit one of these homes and the renowned Sidi Idriss Hotel, which featured in several Star Wars scenes. Lunch will be served at the hotel’s restaurant.
After lunch, we’ll travel about 1 hour and 20 minutes to Douz, known as the gateway to the Sahara. Upon arrival, we’ll check into a desert camp among the dunes. You can take a camel ride at sunset to experience the desert’s magic firsthand.
The day ends with a Bedouin dinner under the stars, accompanied by traditional music, before retiring to your private desert tent.
After breakfast, we'll prepare for a 90-minute trip to Chott El Djerid, Tunisia’s largest salt lake, famous for its mirages. Will you spot a palace hidden beneath the salt crust?
Next, we'll visit the golden oasis valley of Chebika, where water cascades among date palms. Once a Roman refuge, this oasis is a true desert paradise. We’ll enjoy about 1 hour of hiking here.
Afterwards, we’ll have lunch at a local restaurant before continuing to Kairouan to admire the Great Mosque. You'll fall in love with the narrow streets and lively souks of this historic city.
Finally, we will return to Hammamet, arriving around 8 pm.
This tour includes 1 night in a desert camp in Douz. The tents have electricity for charging devices and a shared bathroom block with toilets and showers.
Under no circumstances will you have to share the tents with strangers. Options include single, double, triple, and family tents. Single bookings incur a supplement. Children aged 1 to 12 must share a room with their parents or guardians on a rollaway bed.
Vegetarian options are available. Drinks are not included and must be purchased separately.
On December 31st, we'll celebrate the New Year in a magical desert setting. The evening begins with a show of knights and camels, evoking the legendary caravan routes.
We’ll enjoy a cocktail under the stars, followed by a special New Year’s Eve dinner inspired by Berber cuisine. Traditional music and a DJ will keep the party going, culminating in a spectacular fireworks display lighting up the desert sands to welcome 2026.
