3 day desert Adventure

Selina_N, Jan 2025
My boyfriend and I went on a 3-day trek into the Sahara desert from Douz over New Year's Eve. Our goal was a silent, relaxing start to 2025 close to nature. All of our expectations were fulfilled. Everything was perfectly planned and executed. The food was amazing, and the accommodation was nice and exactly what you would expect. However, the success of the entire tour depends on your guide. We were lucky to have Amir. He is a young Bedouin who is one of the few people who still lives as a true nomad. You can sense his love for the Sahara. He shared many stories about his passion for the desert and his dedication to preserving it. Unlike some other guides, Amir treats his camels like his own children. While some guides treat their animals poorly (even hitting them). Amir's gentle care for his camels was wonderful to witness. This was extremely important to us, as we wanted our vacation to be as sustainable as possible. If you're planning a similar trip, ask for Amir - he's the best choice you can make.

Once in a lifetime experience

The trip was absolutely stunning: endlessly beautiful landscape, well behaved camels with character, amazing food and above all the best guide we could wish for. I can only recommend and will come back for a longer trek in the desert with Ahmed. Everything was well organized, the camels looked healthy and well taken care of.

Amazing Experience, Highly Recommend

Elliot_W, Mar 2023
This is a great experience for anyone wanting to see another side of life in Tunisia. The camels are very cool and friendly. My guide, Mohammed, was great and made the trip unforgettable. Overall tour is very easy to arrange, you get started immediately from pickup. The camp site is great - very good food and refreshments, nice setup with kitchen, restaurant, tents, area for fire and socializing etc. I would personally suggest the 3-day trek over the 2 day as you are guaranteed one full day in the Sahara.

Superbe et bonne organisation

Patrick_M, Oct 2024
Super dépaysant 👍 le calme, les beaux paysages, coucher et lever de soleil 🤩, l’accueil au camp 🙏. Très bonne expérience pour le repos, la méditation, l’observation du ciel …. Un grand merci à Mounir (le guide qui vient sur le camp pour voir si tout va bien), à Mounier (responsable du camp) et à Nouri (notre chamelier). Pour une première expérience…. 😍

Expérience inoubliable aux portes du désert

Emma_F, Sep 2024
Une expérience magnifique et inoubliable dans le désert. Des couchers de soleil et un ciel étoilé à couper le souffle ! Le campement est super, avec plus de confort que ce que j'imaginais. Et l'équipe sur place est top, avec une organisation au poil, des repas bien cuisinés (pain de sable excellent !!). Enfin mention spéciale pour notre guide Nouri qui nous a promenés à travers les dunes sur nos dromadaires et nous a fait découvrir un petit bout de chez lui avec beaucoup de gentillesse...
