Highlights

- ✓Berber lunch in a traditional camp beneath the palm grove.
Ksar Ghilan is the most accessible oasis from Djerba (about 3 hours' drive) and offers a taste of the Sahara: lush palm groves, natural hot spring where you can swim year-round (water at 30°C), endless dunes that begin just outside the oasis. Ideal if you only have a full day and want to experience the Sahara without sleeping in a desert camp.
Option to enjoy a camel ride or quad bike across the dunes (optional, +€20-30).
