Info

Ours is a journey into the history, culture and traditions of Tunisia.

Tunisia's rich history tells of colonization and the presence of great civilizations. It was a province of the Ottoman Empire, absorbing Turkish influence, and in antiquity it was the centre of the Carthage empire, whose popular traditions remain to this day.

The influence of Arabic-Islamic civilization is visible in the presence of important historical monuments, such as the Ribat or the great mosques of Tunis and Kairouan.

The last colonization was French and following the Treaty of Two Countries, Tunisia's total independence was inaugurated in 1955 and the proclamation of the Republic in 1957.

Tunisia, like Morocco, Algeria and Libya, is one of the Maghreb states, the easternmost and smallest of the states along the Atlas mountain range.

Forty per cent of its surface area is occupied by the Sahara Desert, around 1,300 km of easily accessible coastline and much of the land is made up of particularly fertile soil.

On the coasts, the Mediterranean climate is subtropical, with crisp winters and hot, dry summers. Inland, it is of an arid tropical type with high temperatures (over 45-47 °C) and low rainfall. Along the coasts with sea breezes, temperatures are generally 35 °C, with winds blowing in from the desert, the temperature can become oppressive. 

The majority of the population speaks Arabic. French, following colonization by France, is mainly spoken in the cities. 

The main dishes of Tunisian gastronomy are couscous, tajine (stewed meat or fish), mulukhiyya, meshweyya, brik or makrout, ossame, chorba, mali, lablabi, mergez. The dishes can be accompanied by white or red wines produced in Tunisia.

In the evening we arrive in Tataouine with an overnight stay in a hotel with a swimming pool. 


Day 5

We leave Tataouine and travel along beautiful roads through the mountains dotted with ancient stone and mud villages.

Shortly before lunchtime we will reach the beautiful oasis of Ksar Ghilane, which is located in the middle of the desert and has fortunately been connected to civilization by a magnificent asphalt road for the past few years.

A few kilometers from the oasis, in the middle of the dune desert, there is also an ancient Roman fort also occupied in recent times by the Foreign Legion to control the territory.

At your own discretion, there will be the possibility of taking a tour on quad bikes accompanied by local guides to visit this ancient fort, crossing countless cordons of fine sand dunes, a wonderful experience!

After lunch, we will depart for the town of Douz, also known as 'the gateway to the desert'.

In fact, behind the tourist area begins the Great Erg, the Tunisian desert which, together with the Libyan and Algerian deserts, creates the Great Eastern Erg.

A mega radiator as high as a six-store building has been built to provide the population with drinking water, so that the water circulates from the top to the bottom through open cells so that it can be cooled and sent into the water network.

Our journey continues by crossing the immense salt lake of Chott El Jirid.
