What you can expect

  • Set out from Djerba for a full-day 4x4 adventure through the dramatic scenery of southern Tunisia. Cross the iconic Roman causeway and pause at Sebkhet El Melah, a shimmering salt lake that glistens under the desert sun. Continue through the rolling dunes of Chahbania, where the landscape shifts from golden sands to rocky outcrops, offering a true taste of the Sahara’s wild beauty.

    Arrive in Tataouine and immerse yourself in the vibrant atmosphere of its weekly market, where local traders display colourful spices, handmade crafts, and traditional textiles. Next, ascend to the mountain village of Chenini, famed for its ancient Berber architecture carved directly into the rock. Here, discover the unique customs and daily life of the Berber community, and enjoy a traditional lunch featuring regional specialities such as couscous, lamb stew, and fresh flatbread.

    After lunch, visit Ksar Haddada, a fortified granary that gained fame as a filming location for the Star Wars saga. Explore its labyrinthine corridors and learn about its historical significance. The journey concludes with a comfortable return to Djerba, including a short technical stop along the way.
