Village of Chenini - Tataouine - Tunisia

DAY TOUR TO TATAOUINE AND CHENINI

DAY TOUR TO TATAOUINE AND CHENINI TO DISCOVER THE BERBER REGION

Start your adventure from Djerba, this island renowned for its idyllic beaches and its rich culture, its mix and its tolerance.

Just 115 km from Tataouine, Djerba is the ideal starting point for exploring the Berber region.

During this captivating excursion through the Berber region of Tataouine, you will explore numerous ksour (singular, Ksar),both Arab and Berber constructions, which were once fortified granaries serving as food reserves and oil storage.

These remains tell the story of the lives of the Berbers and Arabs in the 15th, 16th and 17th centuries, providing a fascinating insight into their way of life and traditions.

Tataouine is also renowned among Star Wars enthusiasts, because the name of the city inspired George Lucas' teams in the creation of the planet Tatooine.

Tataouine is widely associated in the memory of the French with the popular expression "go to Tataouine" or "go to Tataouine-les-Bains", a poetic way of meaning a journey to the end of the world.

This expression takes its origin from the former French military penal colony which closed its doors in 1938, located in this desert region where prisoners were isolated.
