Introduction to the Sahara

Tunisia, discover this 8-day trip

Mountain Nature Adventure Relaxation Eco

Trip Description

A week on the edge of winter or for a first approach to the desert. It is called the region of the Marabouts and also that of the ancient oases. It is a tide of sand all crested with gold that rises from the Sahara, gradually covering the springs and oases towards the Great Tunisian South. It is the domain of dunes and silence, the discovery of a new dimension... It is the land of Berber nomads, of small lost oases, of sand-covered, forgotten villages... A week of sunshine in the heart of winter, a time for oneself in a world of absoluteness, beauty, and renewal.
