From a Roman amphitheatre that once held 35,000 spectators to a Star Wars film set still standing among the desert dunes, this two-day tour crosses southern Tunisia in one sweep. You'll walk through underground cave homes that doubled as Luke Skywalker's house, cross Chott el Jerid's vast salt lake by road and spend the night in Douz, the oasis town known as the gateway to the Sahara. A local expert guide brings the film history, archaeology and desert culture together across both days. Douz is an oasis town on the edge of the Sahara, known as the gateway to the desert. After a day of Roman ruins, underground homes and driving through sand dunes, the evening brings the option of a camel or carriage ride into the desert before settling in for the night. The desert quiet is the contrast to a day packed with stops.

We had such a lovely 2 day trip. From seeing the walking around the Colloceum which was so lovely to walk around. The Camel ride was so lovely which my family and I loved every minuite riding in the Sahara Desert. To seeing the original Star Wars set. Which we loved walking around. It was everything my Sister, Nephew and I have always dreamed of all together in 1 trip. The Tour Guide was so lovely explaining Tunisian history as we went along. I definitely recommend the tour to everyone.

The tour overall was a fantastic experience for me was well worth what I paid as I wanted to do most of the things on the tour. I was a lone traveller as my first time abroad alone and what a time I had. I would say the tour is not really for youngsters as there is a lot of time on coach but you get to see so much of Tunisia as you’re not driving. Watching the sunset by camel in the Sahara is something else. And the trip over the salt lake and desert by 4x4 mint.. Star Wars set awesome 🙌

Immer zur richtigen Zeit am richtigen Ort. Egal ob Sonnenaufgang am Salzsee oder Sonnenuntergang in der Wüste auf dem Dromedar. Toller Guide, guter Busfahrer. Man hat wirklich das Maximum in 2 Tage gepackt, was man tolles sehen kann. Nur die Fahrt mit 1.200 Kilometern ist schon sehr anstrengend, aber das weiß man vorher. Lohnt sich auf jeden Fall!

Het is een waanzinnige ervaring en je komt op hele bijzondere plekken. De gids was erg vriendelijk en wist een hoop over het land en de gebruiken te vertellen. Als ik een min punt moet noemen is het er 1 waar Tui of de gids niks aan kan doen: maakt niet uit waar je komt, er wordt op een hele opdringerige manier geprobeerd je iets aan te smeren. Vooral bij de avond woestijnrit ervaarde wij het als erg vervelend. De gids waarschuwde ons er wel voor en gaf ook wel aan wat we konden verwachten.

Loved it all! Our guide was phenomenal providing a wealth of information and insight into Tunisia. Lunch breaks were a little short for us as we like to take a little longer than most. People touting for business when you stop is hard to deal with initially as someone not used to it, but you get the hang of saying no firmly.
