Day 1

place From Djerba to Ksar Ghialne oasis and back

At 6.30 am, our team will pick you up where you are in Djerba or Zarzis to accompany you on an adventure in the Tunisian desert. Leave the island by the Roman road and head for the mainland. In a café, between olive groves, you will have a breifing during which your guide will explain the detailed program of your desert excursion from Djerba to Ksar Ghilane and show you your route on the map. Then head to Ain El Amba, a mountain from where you will have a panoramic view of the Jeffara plain! Take the opportunity to take photos. 15 minutes later, you will attack the stony tracks of the Tunisian Reg. Take advantage of this sudden change of scenery and these thrills in 4 * 4! In the middle of nowhere, you will have a small photo stop, there I recommend you listen to the silence. It is truly unique, and with a stroke of luck you will come across a Bedouin with a herd of goats, sheep or dromedaries ! Around 11am, you will have arrived at the oasis of Ksar Ghilane … A unique place where the greenery of the palm grove embraces the color of the dunes … Your guide will show you where to change and it is time to enjoy a swim in the natural hot spring! This source is also used for the irrigation of palm groves around ! A few meters away, you will have quads and dromedaries, so do not hesitate to book your ride to cross the dunes and go to the fort of Tisavar (the activities are optional and to be paid locally with local providers). Around 1 p.m., you will have an appointment for a midday meal … Take advantage of tasting good Tunisian cuisine in a typical setting! The menu consists of a starter, a suite and a dessert (usually it is a soup – a Tunisian couscous and seasonal fruit). Take the time to take photos and then take the road to Djerba via the famous Ksar Hallouf. It is a collective granary which was used to store the harvest of the tribes of the Tunisian south east and it includes several Ghorfas. Discover this unique architecture and enjoy the panoramic view it
