Passionate about my profession for 22 years, and animated by this country in which I was born, I am destined to make you discover our traditions but also give you a different vision of Tunisia, the culture of this country and these landscapes are for me a daily discovery that I would like to share with you! You will especially see a diversity and change of landscape all 35 minutes from the sea to the olive trees we pass through a salt lake we cross the deserts of the pebbles to reach the mountain and we spend a night in the desert of sand.
Culturally, it is very important to see how he lives Berbers in troglodytes and nomads in tents and it will be an opportunity to visit two families and know the origins and see the real local and local life

2.00First of all, it started out being rescheduled by the guide to one day later. Luckily that worked with our schedule, but it became confusing when we realized that the ticket said we were going for two nights of accommodation, but it was actually only one night. It was not quite what I expected. It was not private. My friend and I were grouped with three others. The guide was fine, but didn’t speak English well so there was no in-depth commentary on history and culture that I was hoping for. We did not follow the itinerary as it was published. 1. We did not visit Tatouine. 2. While we had a traditional meal for lunch on the first day, it was at a restaurant and did not include gazelle horns (or water, for that matter, we had to pay for that) and we didn’t see the lunch preparation. 3. There was a stop at a trash-strewn natural spring. 4. At the end of the first day we arrived at a camp that seemed more like a deployed location than a traditional Berber tent and we did not admire sunset from a camel nor did we taste tea or eat traditional cake. Instead, we had an awesome quad ride to the ancient fort to watch the sunset and then came back for a very loud performance of traditional music while watching the creation of sand bread along with about 50 other folks who were also in the camp. The bickering teenagers that were part of our group were a delight to have at dinner. Ha! On the second day, we did not go to Douz nor did we see a camel market. We saw a commercialized location that was used in Star Wars and had lunch there, which was delicious (and we got some water this time!). We did not “witness the creation of traditional bread” or share a meal with a local family. On the way back to Djerba we got to see another area strewn with garbage in the midst of an olive field. The highlight was a stop for the guide to get coffee and we all got to have ice cream (and the teenagers got to bicker about it). The guide was kind enough to drop us off at a location different than the one we started with so that was helpful. It was also a little surprising that there wasn’t any recommendation of things to bring along to be prepared for the trip. It was expected to have some sort of scarf for protection from the sand and wind. But, I was able to use a t-shirt wrapped around my head to make the quad ride work! That was the most fun of the whole trip, even though we actually ended up at another garbage-strewn location during the “extended” ride. If you’re looking for something like “glamping” and a deeper cultural understanding in English (like I was) then this is not the trip for you. I truly enjoyed seeing the landscapes and the tribal architecture, but wanted more out of the experience.
