This half-day tour shines the spotlight on one of Djerba's newest attractions, Djerba Explorer Park. Designed to be a replica desert village, it's packed with attractions, shops and showpieces. Pick up traditional Tunisian pots and rugs along the pretty main street. Nose around the museum, admiring its impressive collections of Islamic art, which include glittering Berber robes and scraps of ancient calligraphy. And tour the ‘menzel', an interesting recreation of rural Tunisian life, with whitewashed ‘houch' houses, pottery workshops and an olive oil mill. The highlight, though, is the crocodile farm. This cluster of palm-ringed lagoons is home to 400 crocodiles, some of which are up to three metres long. Watch them dozing on the banks and peering from the water, and coo over the beady-eyed baby crocs in the nursery. If you're here at feeding time, there's another treat :watching the ferocious adult reptiles fight over hunks of uncooked meat.
We'll take you through 3,000 years of Tunisian history tonight. Your venue for the evening will be the Medinat Alzahra Parc, a 12-acre museum of living history. The first thing you'll see will be a traditional Bedouin camp scene, where we'll ease you in to the entertainment with a short belly dancing show. Then, when you're ready, we'll take you to the basement of the Medinat for a banquet dinner. The food on offer will be traditionally Tunisian, so expect the likes of couscous and tagines, all washed down with cups of mint tea. The most exciting part of the night will take place after dinner, when you'll be led to a lakeside amphitheatre for a lights and lazers show. Every flash and bang in this display has been designed to represent an event in Tunisia's history. But don't be misled by the name, it's not just the violet strobes and golden spotlights that tell the story of the past. You'll watch stunt men, fighters and dancers all work together to re-enact the timeline.

This two-day tour is our most popular excursion, and for good reason – it combines all Tunisia’s must-sees with an unforgettable ride on the Red Lizard train through the Atlas Mountains. To start with, you’ll visit some ‘ghorfas’, the multi-level granaries of ancient Berber villages. Learn how these curious structures were used – it’s a fascinating insight into bygone Tunisia. Your next stop is Matmata’s troglodyte caves.
You might get a feeling of déjà vu at these tiny, underground dwellings – they were cast as Luke Skywalker’s home in the Star Wars trilogy. After having a look around and stopping for lunch, you’ll continue on to Douz, a palm-filled oasis city where you’ll stay overnight. Either relax at your hotel or take an optional camel or quad bike trek over the amber-colored dunes. With the desert stretching before you, it’s easy to see why this place is known as the gateway to the Sahara.
The next morning, see the lunar-like expanses of a giant saltpan on your way to the mining town of Metaloui, where you’ll board the Red Lizard. Travelling on the tracks that were once used to ferry phosphate down from the Atlas ridges, this vintage train makes for an exhilarating journey. Sit back as you trundle through the dramatic Thelja Gorge, passing surreal rock formations, sheer canyons and lush oases that’ll have you clicking your camera non-stop. After that, it’s back to Djerba, with some fantastic memories to take with you.

Today, you’ll tick off a couple of Tunisia’s most flocked-to places. The historical city of Sousse is up first. You’ll have a couple of hours to wander around the cobbled streets of the city’s UNESCO-recognised medina. Landmarks like the Great Mosque and Sousse Ribat, or fortress, are located here. And, there’s a string of souks, where you can barter with artisans and tradesmen. The second stopping point of the day is Port El Kantaoui. Far from the ancient kasbah in Sousse, this is a purpose-built tourist hub with a yacht-lined marina and a championship golf course. Put your free time to good use by relaxing in a harbour-front café, or pop into a restaurant in front of the main square’s fountain for something to eat.
This Excursion tour will offer you the discovery of the beauty of the landscapes of the two Tunisian deserts... Departure for the discovery of Douz, the gateway to the Sahara, and ones of the places of settlement of nomads 'Mrazigs’ ... Douz was an important stop for caravans on their journeys between the Sahara and northern Tunisia. She is currently a destination of many tourists visiting the dunes of the Grand Erg Oriental. In the afternoon explore Matmata and its cave dwellings known as ‘’troglodyte’’ houses, as well as one of the sites of shooting of the famous Movie ‘’Star Wars’’.....
After Breakfast, departure from Hammamet to Sousse, an important tourist resort. It has a Mediterranean climate, with the seaside location moderating the climate, making it an all-season resort with hot, dry summers and warm, mild wet winters. The fine sandy beaches are backed by orchards and olive groves.
We will visit his old Ribat then a free time in the souks of his Medina. UNESCO declared the medina of Sousse a World Heritage Site in 1988, citing among other things its preservation from modern development.After that we will continue our trip to Monastir, which was founded on the ruins of the Punic–Roman city of Ruspina. His Ribat was used to scan the sea for hostile ships as a defense against the attacks of the Byzantine fleet.
The Ribat was also one of the filming locations for both the miniseries Jesus of Nazareth and Monty Python's Life of Brian. After we will visit the mausoleum Habib Bourguiba The built in the lifetime of Bourguiba in 1963, according to the characteristics of traditional architecture (modern Arab-Muslim style), is located in the western part of the cemetery Sidi El Mézeri, the main burial place of the city, after the long main ally of about 200 meters wide and thirty meters.
It houses not only the body of the late president and his first wife Mathilde, but also those of his parents and his brothers and other family members in two other rooms. It was enlarged in 1978. The building, flanked by two minarets 25 meters high, is topped by a golden dome that is itself surrounded by two green domes. The mausoleum entrance gate and the gate that separates it from the rest of the cemetery are two fine examples of Tunisian art.
If you’re looking for a bit of an adrenaline rush, this quad bike safari is ideal. Firstly, you’ll be picked up and taken to the quad base, where expert instructors will show you everything you need to know about driving your machine. Then it’s time to don your safety gear and climb aboard your own big-wheeled quad. Rev your engine and you’re away, kicking up clouds of dust as you follow your guide in a fun convoy. Feel the cool breeze on your face as you zoom along desert tracks, snake through palm groves, and race along beaches. The best bit, though, comes when you hit harder sand and can pick up speed even more. Make sure you bring your camera and some cash along for the ride – there’ll be regular stops for you to catch your breath, buy drinks and snap photos, before whizzing back to base.
