DISCOVER THE GREAT ORIENTAL ERG IN A 4X4

The Great Eastern Erg Desert of Tunisia, a vast expanse of golden dunes and extraordinary landscapes, attracts adventurers in search of vastness, silence, and total disconnection.

This 4x4 tour, departing from Zarzis , takes you for 4 days to the heart of the Sahara , between tracks, dunes, secret oases and starry nights in Saharan camps and bivouacs.

If the idea of a Paris-Dakar style road trip , accessible to all, makes you dream, then prepare yourself for a unique and intense adventure!

Day 1 – Heading towards the desert, at the gateway to the Grand Erg Oriental

The trip begins early in the morning in Zarzis , where your 4x4 off-road vehicle awaits you for this Saharan immersion.

Heading towards Douz , the last town before the vastness of the desert.

After a lunch break at a local inn, it's time to leave the asphalt and head out onto the Sahara desert trails.

The landscape quickly changes. Dunes begin to appear on the horizon, and the rocky trails give way to stretches of sand that stretch as far as the eye can see.

The first crossings of the dunes give a taste of the adventure that awaits you.

At sunset, you reach the Saharan camp , set up at the foot of the majestic Tembaine mountain .

Far from any artificial light, the night promises to be magical: dinner under the stars, campfire and night in a comfortable Saharan tent.

Day 2 – Crossing the desert and arriving at the secret oasis of Houidath Erreched

Waking up in the desert is a unique experience. The absolute silence, the golden morning light, the fresh air of the Sahara...

After a good breakfast, it's time to hit the trail again.

The guides slightly deflate the 4x4's tires to better navigate the sand , and off we go for an intense day of crossing the dunes . The further we go, the more imposing they become.

The alternation between rocky expanses and giant dunes makes the crossing spectacular.

In the heart of the desert, a lunch break is organized in the heart of nature: a Saharan picnic , simple and authentic, where you can enjoy the silence of the desert.

At the end of the afternoon, after several hours of challenging the reliefs of the Sahara, a surprise arises at the bend of an immense dune: Lake Houidath Erreched , an oasis lost in the middle of the desert , known only to insiders.

Here, a hot spring forms a small lake where it is possible to bathe in the heart of the Sahara.

A moment suspended in time.

The evening continues around the campfire, under a sky filled with stars, with a traditional dinner.

Spending the night in a Saharan bivouac, surrounded by dunes, is an unforgettable experience.

Day 3 – Return to Tembaine, and night at the Saharan camp

After a last morning swim in the spring, it is time to get back on the trail , this time by a different route .

The exploration continues, revealing varied landscapes , sometimes lunar and always grandiose.

After several hours of driving through the Saharan dunes and plateaus, you reach the Tembaine camp , where a well-deserved shower awaits you.

The evening is an opportunity to share the highlights of the expedition around a final dinner under the stars .

Day 4 – Return to civilization, head full of memories

The last morning in the desert is always special.

Take the time to admire the first rays of daylight on the dunes , breathe one last time this pure and still air...

Then it is time to head back to Douz , where a lunch break marks the end of the Saharan adventure.

In the early afternoon, you take the road back to Zarzis , still imbued with the silence of the desert, the magical lights and this unique feeling of having lived a timeless experience.
