Desert excursion to Ksar Ghilane from Djerba or Zarzis. Full-day excursion with lunch included. Discover the desert and its magnificent ochre sand dunes. Experience unique sensations during a quad or camel ride in the Tunisian desert. Optional to be paid on site. Explore the Berber region by visiting Ksar Hallouf. Ksar Ghilane, the southernmost of Tunisia's oases, is a gateway to the Tunisian desert and a popular destination for quad or camel rides. This oasis is fed by a hot spring, which comes from a failed oil drilling in 1953. Instead of finding oil, the drillers discovered a captive water table about 700 meters deep. The water gushes out at a temperature of about 32 ° C and has sulfurous properties. You can swim there and it is famous for its thermal properties. Don't forget your swimsuits if you want to swim there

The 2-day tour was a very nice experience, we enjoyed the beautiful scenery and the superb camp in the middle of the desert where we spent the night, thanks to our wonderful guide Ftouma and our driver. Small detail, the days are very dense and you can sometimes be taken by time, if not at the top!
An unforgettable request
