4 Days Hiking In The Footsteps Of The Amazigh In South Tunisia

In the south of Tunisia, in the pristine Dahar Mountains, a special hiking holiday awaits you.

This hiking holiday in Tunisia combines impressive nature, fascinating geological history and authentic Berber culture away from the classic tourist routes.

About the place:

The Dahar Mountains in southern Tunisia, also known as the Grand Traversée Dahar or the Great Dahar, are considered one of the most geologically fascinating regions in North Africa. Recently, the Dahar was inscribed on the UNESCO Executive Board's list of Global Geoparks, making it the first geopark in Tunisia and the third on the African continent.

A hiking holiday in the Dahar Mountains is therefore not only a nature trip, but also a journey through millions of years of Earth's history. Breathtaking views line this journey south through the counties of Tataouine and Matmata. The scenery alternates between mountain oases in valleys, mountain ranges, and table mountains.

Winding roads snake through the mountainous landscapes. The Dahar Mountains are located on the same tectonic plate as the Sahara, which is why you'll find the same starry skies and a similar climate.

For who is it for?

This trip is ideal for you if you want a moderately active experience and a relaxed immersion in the culture. You'll be in Dahar, the cradle of the Amazigh, the indigenous people and original inhabitants of North Africa. Whether as a couple, in a small group, or traveling solo, this hiking trip offers intense nature experiences and authentic encounters.

With an eye for details, the tour concepts were developed and coordinated with my Tunisian partner agency, also experts of the region and hiking guide Aymen Naouel Zammouri who will take you by the hand. Aymen is original from the village where you will be hosted, in an authentic Berber style hotel, Beni Kheddache. When he is not leading groups he cares about his organic capres in his backyard. He loves his land, The Great Dahar and nature.
