Departing from Djerba, this full-day excursion takes you deep into the landscapes and heritage of southern Tunisia, blending Berber culture, desert scenery and iconic Star Wars filming locations.

After crossing the ancient Roman causeway connecting Djerba to the mainland, travel south towards Tataouine, a region famous for its ksour and long-standing Berber traditions. The journey continues to Ksar Haddada, one of the most remarkable fortified granaries in southern Tunisia. Built from stacked clay storage cells, this historic site offers a fascinating insight into traditional Berber architecture and daily life. Ksar Haddada also gained international fame as a Star Wars filming location, making it a must-see for cinema lovers.

Next, head to the mountain village of Guermassa, one of the oldest Berber villages in Tunisia. Perched high on a rocky hilltop, Guermassa offers spectacular panoramic views over the surrounding desert plains. Explore its ancient ruins, stone pathways and abandoned dwellings while learning about the history of Berber communities who once lived in harmony with this harsh yet beautiful environment.

As the day draws to a close, enjoy a peaceful desert sunset, when the warm golden light transforms the landscape into a breathtaking panorama. This quiet moment in the desert offers the perfect ending to a day rich in culture, history and unforgettable scenery.

The excursion then continues for underground troglodyte houses carved into the earth. Visit a traditional Berber home and discover a unique lifestyle adapted to the desert climate.

This tour from Djerba is ideal for travellers seeking authenticity, cultural depth and a genuine connection with southern Tunisia, far from mass tourism.
