Departure
This extraordinary 8-day journey takes you from the Mediterranean island paradise of Djerba to the very edge of the Sahara Desert — through landscapes so otherworldly that George Lucas chose them as the filming locations for the planet Tatooine in Star Wars. Djerba is one of the Mediterranean's most enchanting islands — a place of whitewashed villages, ancient synagogues, olive groves, and turquoise waters where Berber, Arab, Jewish, and Mediterranean cultures have coexisted for centuries.
Matmata is one of Tunisia's most extraordinary destinations — a Berber village of underground troglodyte homes carved into the earth, where the Hotel Sidi Driss served as Luke Skywalker's home on Tatooine. Douz is the Gateway to the Sahara — where the dunes begin and camel treks into the desert are possible. Tozeur is an oasis city of extraordinary beauty — its medina built entirely of distinctive yellow brick, surrounded by a vast palm grove of 200,000 trees. Verified local Ambassadors guide every step of this extraordinary Tunisian journey.
Southern Tunisia is one of Africa's most cinematically extraordinary landscapes — a place where the Sahara meets the Mediterranean, where ancient Berber civilization built underground cities to escape the heat, and where the landscape is so alien and beautiful that it became the most famous fictional planet in cinema history. The Amazigh (Berber) people of southern Tunisia have inhabited these landscapes for millennia, their culture, architecture, and traditions shaped by the desert's demands.
