📅 Itinerary overview
Early departure from your hotel in Djerba or Zarzis. Crossing via the Roman causeway of El Kantara (historic 7 km road built by the Romans in the 3rd century, faster than the ferry). Coffee break at Médenine, then arrival in Tataouine, the historic capital of the Southern Berbers.
First highlight: guided tour of Ksar Ouled Soltane, this masterpiece of 12th-century architecture with its ghorfas tiered across 4 levels. These "fortified granaries" were used to store cereals for the entire community against raiders — an ingenious system that has stood for 900 years. Exceptional photos in the inner courtyard (ancient jars, palm trees, ochre shadows).
Ascent to Chenini, the wonderful hilltop village perched at 600 m altitude. Guided visit to the white Mosque of the Seven Sleepers, a fascinating legend of 7 saints said to have slept 400 years in a cave before waking. Breathtaking panoramic views over the Dahar valley, magical photos, and the chance to chat with the Berber inhabitants still present.
Traditional Berber lunch included at a restaurant in Chenini with panoramic views. Return journey to Djerba/Zarzis with panoramic photo stops as you wish (on private excursions). No deposit on private tours, or immediate payment on group tours via PayPal/secure link.
