Depart at 07:30 AM from your hotel in Tunis, Hammamet, or Sousse. Your first stop is the awe-inspiring El Jem Amphitheater—a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the best-preserved Roman monuments in the world. This 3rd-century coliseum once held 35,000 spectators for gladiator combats. Climb to the upper tiers for panoramic views and explore the underground passages where gladiators awaited their fate.
Continue to Kairouan, Tunisia's spiritual heart and the 4th holiest city in Islam. Visit the magnificent Great Mosque of Uqba (founded 670 AD), marvel at the 9th-century Aghlabid Basins, and wander through the authentic souk where artisans craft handwoven carpets, crimson chechias, and engraved copperware. Enjoy lunch on your own—try the famous couscous kairouanais and makroudh pastries.
Embark on a scenic 3-hour drive as landscapes transform toward the Sahara—watch the terrain shift from olive groves to desert plains. Arrive in Tozeur late afternoon and check into a charming 3-star hotel nestled in the palm grove featuring traditional tabout stucco architecture. Enjoy included dinner featuring Berber tajine and Tunisian couscous under starry skies.
Depart at 08:00 AM for Tunisia's pre-Sahara region. Visit Chebika Oasis with its seasonal waterfalls and abandoned Berber village; Tamerza, Tunisia's largest natural oasis with lush palm groves and freshwater springs; and Midès Canyon, a dramatic gorge and famous Star Wars filming location. Optional 4×4 desert excursion available (+€90/group).
Cross the surreal Chott el Jerid salt lake—5,000 km² of otherworldly landscapes that transform into a pink mirror in winter. Continue to Douz, the "Gateway to the Grand Erg Oriental" and camel capital of Tunisia. Explore artisan stalls selling Berber rugs and traditional crafts before lunch on your own.
Descend into traditional underground Berber homes carved into soft tuff rock, designed for natural climate control. Visit the famous Sidi Driss Hotel—Luke Skywalker's childhood home in Star Wars: Episode IV—now a living museum with original props and film sets. Return journey to your hotel (arrival 9-10 PM).
