5.00Great day with Salim, who was our driver. We will pick you up directly in front of the hotel, punctual and welcoming. Attentive to our requests with enough breaks to stretch our legs and enjoy the Tunisian landscapes. The village that served as the backdrop for Star Wars in Tataouine will leave you with a lovely souvenir on your arms with small stamps featuring Master Yoda 💚 The oasis and the desert will transport you, and you will finish with a nice meal at Nasser's, who is just as kind as Salim.🌞🌴

5.00Congratulations to Mohamed, a great guide. We spent two days in the desert, with one night in a tent 🏕️ 🌙🐪. During the trip, we visited several villages, including the Berber village of Matmata, and enjoyed breakfast, lunch, and dinner. To end the evening between 10:30 PM and 11:00 PM, a surprise awaits you to discover 🔥🏜️. We recommend guide Mohamed.

5.00We had the most incredible experience with Ksar Ghilane and Tataouine – A Desert Adventure! From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized and truly unforgettable. A huge thank you to our amazing guides, Tou Tou and Salim, who made the whole day so special. Their knowledge, energy, and hospitality really brought the experience to life. The trip into the Sahara was absolutely surreal - riding quads across the dunes, watching the sunset over the desert (which honestly felt like something out of a dream), and then finishing the day with a fantastic party under the stars. It’s hard to put into words just how magical it all felt. If you’re considering a desert adventure, I can’t recommend this experience enough. It was easily one of the highlights of our trip and something we’ll never forget!
