Unforgettable trip to the South of Tunisia!
With family
The trip began from the preparation of the route with the GSA team who put together a magnificent adventure for us! Over 5 days, we traveled through the Berber country and the troglodyte houses, crossed the Chott El Jerid, visited Tozeur and the mountain oases and spent 2 days in the dune desert!
On site, we had 4x4s with drivers (Nejib and Ali: great drivers and super friendly) and a guide Mahmoud, a real historian, who delighted us!
Thanks to the whole team ! We recommend !

Unforgettable Christmas vacation in southern Tunisia
Grand South Tunisian circuit. Departure from Djerba for 4 days, 3 nights to discover the South of Tunisia, between stone ergs, salt lakes, sand dunes and mountain oases. Our guide Mahmoud was able to help us discover his country through its history, its culture, its grandiose sites and landscapes. Stops for lunch in confidential and very tasty addresses (Matmatah, Tamerza), the sunset in the dunes at Ksar Ghilane, with the desire of our guide to stay away from the hordes of tourists. We return to France with images and flavors in our heads.
Without forgetting Salem, our driver, always caring, kind, discreet, whom we got to know throughout the trip and who delighted us on the slopes and the dunes.
A big thank you to Salem and Mahmoud who made our stay unforgettable.
Frederick and Catherine.
