Chott El Jerid
Halfway between Douz and Tozeur, you will be in the middle of the great salt lake: Chot El Jerid, to watch the magnificent sunrise. A real white salt desert, it is flat, without relief, just a white layer of salt. A stop is essential to watch a magnificent sunrise. A café in the middle of this inhospitable desert offers you drinks as well as salt, sand roses and fossils.

A stop at Temegza and the big waterfall. Strange and magical, a waterfall in the middle of an arid desert, a stop is a must.

Super tour, useless guide

5.00The bus rides are strenuous and long but at least you travel most of Tunisia. The bus was not very comfortable (buckles poke in the bottom and the climate did not work properly). Furthermore, due to a defect, we stood for 3 hours at a gas station. The jeeps were better, but also only air circulation through open windows. The quads are also not in good condition, but all this was fine as we knew what country we were in and what to expect. Therefore not a bad review here, just as information. All the restaurants (bus driver, quad guide, Bedouin, oasis guide, food service...) were very friendly and did their best to make our excursions as attractive as possible. Now for the most unpleasant and worst part of the tour: Our guide was very uninterested in teaching us information about country and people. Only on request was we bored explained what the next stop is. However, this could hardly be understood because the microphone on the bus did not work. We were simply told nothing on the hour-long drive. Even if we got off the bus it was only said how long you have to take photos, Our guide then always went into a coffee and waited until we got back on the bus. So for the tour itself there are 5 stars. The guide was completely redundant, the bus driver would have been enough for us.
Unforgettable experience

5.00Absolutely loved the tour, our guide Kamel was extremely kind and knowledgable - told us so many lovely stories and facts about each site we visited. He also provided the tour in 5 languages on the day! Really impressive. The itinerary was as described, the highlights were watching the sunset in the Sahara desert and enjoying a meal under the stars. All of the food provided throughout the trip was delicious. The quad and camel rides were also very enjoyable (these will be charged extra as described in the tour details). Visiting a traditional Berber village was really lovely too. The hotel we stayed at was nice and clean, with a great breakfast the next morning - please bear in mind that you won’t be at the hotel for long, just to sleep and have breakfast the next morning. If you want to watch the sunrise on the second day then you will need to wake up very early! You will watch a beautiful desert sunset on day one but catching the sunrise the following morning is also very special. The only downside is the long journeys on the minibus, but there is no way around that as there is a large distance to cover (a sufficient number of stops are provided for coffee/toilet breaks) - ensure to bring a book or download a show to watch on your phone, you could also simply nap on the minibus during the long stretches. All-in-all, although the tour is quite tiring and covers many areas, it is 100% worth it. We are happy that we were able to visit so many beautiful parts of Tunisia and to meet lovely people. Thank you to everyone at Caravane du Sahara.
