About this tour

Discover the soul of southern Tunisia in just 3 days — a private journey from the holy city of Kairouan to the golden dunes of the Sahara.

This short adventure is perfect for travelers who want the desert, the history and the culture without a long trip. Sleep one unforgettable night in a desert camp under a sky so clear the Milky Way feels within reach, with Bedouin music around the campfire.

Travel privately with a local guide who shares the stories behind every site and welcomes you into the homes of the people who live here.

What you'll experience:

• The majestic Great Mosque of Kairouan, one of Islam's most important sites

• The mountain oases of Chebika & Tamerza, with waterfalls and breathtaking canyons

• Mos Espa, the largest Star Wars film set in Tunisia, across the dunes

• Crossing Chott El Jerid, North Africa's largest salt lake

• A night in a desert camp: camel ride at sunset, traditional sand-baked bread, Bedouin music and a starlit sky

• A Berber troglodyte home in Matmata, with tea and olive oil from your hosts

• The Sidi Idriss Star Wars hotel

• El Jem, one of the best-preserved Roman amphitheatres in Africa

Comfortable 4-star hotel, authentic desert camp, and every booking supports local families.
