Day 1: HAMMAMET/SOUSSE/ KAIROUAN/TOZEUR (COACH) 450Kms
Pick up from hotels and drive to the holy city of Kairouan. Stop at the Aghlabid pools, the city's main water reservoir. Visit the impressive Mosque Sidi Okba, founded in the 7th century and the mausoleum of Abou Zemaa El Balaoui, also known as the "prophet Berber”. Explore the old town and its characteristic markets. Lunch at the restaurant. Next, travel to Tozeur, home to one of the most famous Saharan oasis. Everything depends on an intricate system of irrigation, that ensures an equitable distribution of this precious resource. Dinner and accommodation at the hotel in Tozeur.

Día 2°: TOZEUR (4x4)
After breakfast, depart to explore the big palm-grove of the oasis, followed by the old medina, famous for its distinctive architecture, using small red bricks made by hand locally, and the souk. After lunch at the hotel, we drive out of Tozeur to Chebika which hosts a natural spring that supplies water to the oasis. Next, travel to Tamerza to admire the local waterfall. Finally, Mides is almost entirely surrounded by sheer-walled canyons. Travel across the desert to Ong El Jemel (visiting the Star Wars and English Patient filming locations along the way). Enjoy the sunset over the dunes. Dinner and accommodation at the hotel in Tozeur.

Early in the morning, after breakfast, depart towards Douz across the barren “Chott El Jerid”, a wide expanse of salt flat. Next, visit the village inhabited by the nomadic Mrazig tribe with its busy market. (Optional dromedary rides in the desert. Paid on spot) Continue on to the Berber village of Matmata to explore its underground dwellings, excavated out of the softest yellow rock of the rounded hillsides. Cinema enthusiasts will immediately recognise the location of Luke Skywalker’s home as featured in Star Wars. Lunch at the hotel. Afterwards, head to El Jem, to discover its grandiose colosseum, the third largest in the Roman world. Return to the hotel. End of itinerary.
