What you can expect

  • Experience an unforgettable adventure through the southern Tunisian desert on a Jeep safari in the footsteps of Star Wars. Set out from Djerba towards Ksar Ghilane and Matmata and explore the spectacular landscapes of the Sahara, among golden dunes, Berber villages and troglodyte houses carved into the rock.

    Start your day with a scenic stop at Ain El Anba to admire breathtaking views before heading to the oasis of Ksar Ghilane. Relax in its natural hot spring, go for a camel ride or an quad bike tour (at an additional cost) through the dunes, and discover an ancient Roman fort buried in the sand.
    Continue to Matmata, famous for its unique underground dwellings. Meet a Berber family, taste traditional bread, local olive oil and typical heja. Then step into the legend at the Sidi Idriss Hotel, the mythical Star Wars shooting location: Luke Skywalker's house.
    End your journey with a stop in the picturesque villages of Tamazret and Toujane, perched on the mountains and offering exceptional panoramas of the desert and Berber culture.
    A traditional Tunisian lunch is included, as well as return transport and an experienced live guide.
    An authentic experience combining adventure, culture and cinema, perfect for families, desert lovers and Star Wars fans.
