Overview
Nine days across Tunisia's desert, coast and ancient sites. You'll ride camels in the Sahara, explore the Star Wars sets in Matmata, tour the Roman amphitheatre at El Jem, and visit Carthage. Seven nights split between Tunis, Sfax, Douz, Tozeur, Kairouan and Hammamet.
Highlights
Why you'll love this trip
- Ride a camel across the Sahara dunes near Douz. Sand gets everywhere, but that's the point.
- Walk the ruins of El Jem's amphitheatre, one of Rome's biggest. It seats 35,000 and still has its underground gladiator tunnels.
- Sleep in Matmata's troglodyte caves, the original Star Wars Tatooine set. Luke Skywalker's home is a real hotel.
- 4WD into Chebika, Tamerza, and Mides oases. Mountain springs cut through red rock canyons you don't expect in the desert.
- Carthage's UNESCO ruins sit right on the coast. You're standing where Hannibal planned Rome's invasion.
