Our team will pick you up wherever you are in Tunis and its surroundings around 6:00 AM, and your adventure will begin with a visit to the historic city of Kairouan.

Kairouan, known as the fourth holiest city in Islam, offers a rich tapestry of history and culture. You’ll visit the majestic Great Mosque, explore the Aghlabid Basins, a series of ancient water reservoirs that showcase the ingenuity of the Aghlabid dynasty in water management and the Mausoleum of Sidi Sahbi, also known as the Barber’s Mosque, dedicated to one of Prophet Muhammad’s companions. The mausoleum is an exquisite example of Islamic architecture, adorned with intricate tile work and carvings.

Enjoy the opportunity to taste the famous Kairouan makroud.

We’ll then break for lunch somewhere in a local restaurant where you can savor Tunisian dishes.

Then, we’ll head to Tozeur. Upon arrival, you’ll explore Mos Espa, a significant filming location from the Star Wars saga. Mos Espa was used as the setting for the slave quarters and podracing scenes in “Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace.” You’ll have the opportunity to explore this iconic site and see firsthand where these memorable scenes were filmed.

Next, we’ll take you to the Tamerza Waterfalls, a breathtaking natural site where you can enjoy the tranquil surroundings and take memorable photos. We’ll also visit the mountain oases of Chebika, known for their lush vegetation, crystal-clear springs, and panoramic views of the surrounding desert landscape.
