In the morning, our team will pick you up at your accommodation to take you on an excursion to discover Tozeur and its mountain oases. You will leave the island via the ferry.

Afterward, continue to Tamerza, where you will enjoy a delicious meal prepared by the locals! Take the time to visit the mountain oasis and discover Chebika and its waterfall, Tamerza and its large waterfall, and Midès and its large canyons. At the end of the afternoon, your driver will take you on an adrenaline-filled adventure. You will cross the old Dakar Rally track and the Chott El Gharsa salt lake to stop at the famous Ong Jmal site. Conquer the great sand dunes and finally reach Mos Espa, the site considered to be the largest Star Wars setting in Tunisia. Take your time to explore and, above all, don’t miss the sunset over the surrounding dunes.
