Help set up tents and learn wood-fire cooking as you prepare a hearty traditional couscous (If you want, of course!). Then, gather around the fire to share your meal with local hosts.

The next morning, you will wake up to the smell of coffee and a freshly baked bread will be waiting for you to start your breakfast.

Une parenthèse enchantée dans le désert

Nous avons réalisé une expédition d’un jour dans le désert. (Balade + nuit) Cette expérience fut aussi marquante que dépaysante. Pain cuit dans la braise, coucher et lever du soleil, balade en dromadaires, tout était réuni pour faire de ce moment une parenthèse enchantée. Merci à notre chamelier Béchir pour sa passion et sa joie à nous transmettre ses connaissances sur la faune, la flore et le désert. Nous recommandons vivement cette expérience aussi lumineuse que la Voie lactée que nous avons eu le plaisir de contempler lors de cette nuit. Loïc et Lisa

The Sahara was the highlight of our journey

The best part of our trip across Tunisia was the Sahara experience. Riding camels across the golden dunes was magical, and the night shows under the starry desert sky were fantastic, with traditional music and dance. This was the highlight of our journey.

Star Wars sites and a magical desert camel sunset

Wildyness customized an itinerary that met every one of our requests. We got to see the Star Wars sites we requested and also experienced local culture and some desert fun. I requested camel riding, and to our surprise they set up a camel ride at sunset in the desert, which was amazing. One of the best trips we have taken.
