The 15 Best Sahara Desert Tours in Tunisia

35 tours  ·  ★★★★★★★★★★ 4.6 average  ·  from $35

The dunes start four hours inland from the beach hotels, which makes the overnight trip the honest version. These 15 compare the one-day dashes with the two- and three-day loops, what the camps are actually like, and which departures leave from Djerba, Douz or the coast.

“1. Too many stops of 30 minutes or more for toilets but mainly for cigarettes when you do not smoke is very long. 2. Water should be provided at all times whether at the restaurant included or at the hotel in the Sahara. It wouldn’t cost you more Read moreAuto-translated”

“Review for Hsin Benhamra I had the pleasure of touring with Hsin Benhamra while visiting Tunisia, and I can honestly say it was one of the best experiences I've had while travelling. He had communicated with me the day before to give a brief idea of what the day would look like ,and asked if I had a questions, and needs he might plan for .From the moment the tour began, he was punctual, very neat, which stood out for me to begin with, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable about the area. His driving was smooth and enjoyable, and he always made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed.…”
