🗺️ Stops on this tour
Everything about each village and destination visited: history, highlights, practical tips.
Chenini: the hilltop Berber village and the Seven Sleepers mosque
Clinging to a limestone ridge more than 600 metres above sea level, Chenini is the most beautiful Berber village in southern Tunisia: houses carved into the rock, terraced granaries, a white mosque and a thousand-year-old legend.
Ksar Ghilane: the oasis and its hot spring at the gates of the Grand Erg
A palm grove set on the edge of an ocean of dunes, a pool of hot water where you swim in the middle of the sand, a forgotten Roman fort on a hillock: Ksar Ghilane is the first real encounter with the Sahara from Djerba.
Matmata: the troglodyte houses and Luke Skywalker's home
Seen from the sky, Matmata looks like a field of craters: each crater is a house, dug into the earth by the Berbers to shelter from the heat. One of them became Luke Skywalker's home.
