El Djem, Douz & Kairouan Private 2 Day Trip
Description
Day 1: El Djem – Matmata – Douz
Around 7:30 am we'll pick you up from your hotel in Sousse and start our 2 day trip visiting the best of Tunisia.
Our first stop will be one of the most important archaeological sites in the country, the El Djem amphitheatre, also known as the Tunisian Coliseum. We'll walk around its arena while learning more about its history and numerous gladiatorial fights.
The tour will continue until we reach Matmata, where we'll visit the famous cave-houses. An ancient Amazigh settlement carved into the rock to take refuge from the sweltering heat of the desert. In Matmata we'll have approximately one hour of free time for lunch (not included).
Afterwards, we'll head towards the Douz desert, where we'll marvel at the grandeur of the Sahara and have the opportunity to try out a quad or camel ride (not included).
Then, we'll take you to a Douz hotel for dinner and rest until the next day.
Day 2: Douz – Chott Djerid – Oasis - Kairouan
In the morning you'll have time for breakfast in one of the local cafes before heading to Chott El Djerid. This large salt lake has an area of 5000 square meters and it's very common to see mirages when looking at the horizon. What will we see?!
Then it's on to the Atlas mountain range, and the oasis of Chebika and Tamerza. Our last stop will be the holy city of Kairouan. Here we'll visit the Great Mosque to admire its beautiful exterior and our guide will tell you why this place is so important for Islam.
The tour will end taking you back to your hotel in Sousse.
