Visiting southern Tunisia: a suggested route
Ksour, troglodyte villages, dunes and oases: how to plan a trip across southern Tunisia from Djerba.
Three days in the south-west: Douz, Chott el Jerid, the Tozeur and Nefta oases, brick medina and palm groves.
A three-day circuit to discover the oases of the Djerid. Crossing Chott el Jerid, a huge expanse of salt, is one of the highlights.
In Tozeur you visit the palm grove and the Ouled el Hadef quarter, then Nefta and its palm “baskets”. Hotels are comfortable standard, confirmed with your request.
Drive to Douz, a walk in the dunes late in the day, dinner and overnight at the hotel.
Crossing Chott el Jerid, arrival in Tozeur, visit of the palm grove and Ouled el Hadef.
Visit of Nefta and its palm basket, then back to Djerba.
Pick-up at your hotel in Djerba; time confirmed by the agency the day before.
Indicative dates: a request is not a firm booking.
Cancellation terms depend on the trip and the suppliers (hotels, carriers). They are explained before confirmation. Let us know as early as possible if you cannot travel.
Most outings in Djerba suit families. For longer tours (southern Tunisia, desert), mention the children’s ages in your request so we can advise you.
Yes, duration, stops, hotels and activities can be adapted on request. Tell us your wishes in the form and we will send a proposal.
No. Flamingo presence depends on the season, tides and weather. It is more frequent in autumn and winter but can never be guaranteed.

Allow 3.5 to 4 hours by road to Douz (about 230 km) as to Ksar Ghilane (a little over 200 km). Ksar Ghilane works as a long day with an early start; for Douz and a night in a tent, the two-day option is more comfortable.
Mostly from autumn to spring, when flamingos winter in the Ras Rmel lagoon. In summer they are rare or absent. Their presence varies from year to year: the boat trip is always a lovely day at sea, but sightings are never guaranteed.
Yes for most: pirate boat, Djerba Explore, cultural island tour, camel ride. The long days to Tataouine, Matmata or Ksar Ghilane suit children from about 6-7 years. Tell us the children’s ages: we adapt the pace, request car seats and choose a private outing if needed.
