“In just 2 days, you’ll explore the most important attractions of Tunisia’s exotic south.
Day 1: Departure from the hotel around 7:30 AM. Travel along the Roman road that has connected the island to the mainland since ancient times. The itinerary includes:
Visit to Medenine, famous for its massive ksars (fortified granaries) where nomads stored grains and vegetables.
Toujene, where you can buy high-quality rosemary honey and handmade carpets.
Matmata, inhabited mainly by Berbers (indigenous North Africans), with a tour of the iconic troglodyte houses carved into rock.
Next, we head to the “Star Wars” town. We’ll visit the Sidi Idrisse Hotel (entrance included), a filming location for the movie.
Then, enjoy lunch at a nearby underground restaurant. Afterward, visit a traditional underground home still occupied by a family.
Ksar Ghilane (a classic desert oasis):
Optional activities: camel ride or quad bike on Sahara dunes (additional fee: quad: 30€ for 2 people / camel: 15€ per person).
Free time to relax and bathe in the thermal lake.
Sunset over the desert.
