Over two days, we offer you the chance to live like a Bedouin nomad, with your dromedary in the Tunisian desert.
We will leave early in the morning from your hotel in Djerba, to reach Douz, the gateway to the desert where we will arrive around 10 a.m.
Our camel drivers will be waiting for you with everything you need to prepare your meals and set up camp in the desert.
After getting to grips with your mounts, you will set off on your camel trek in the silence of the desert.
Your camel drivers will take care of all the logistics, but if you want to participate, you can help them prepare the bivouac.
After dinner and an evening by the fire, you can chat with your camel guides and then sleep in a private tent or under the stars if you prefer.
The next day after a good breakfast and bread baked in the sand, you will resume the hike, after the lunch break, slowly you will return to Douz, where your 4X4 will be waiting for you to take the road back to Djerba.
