After arriving at Tunis Carthage International Airport, you’ll find your car waiting for you outside.
 
You’ll then enjoy a short, 30-minute drive to Dar Ben Gacem, where you’ll be staying; a vibrant guesthouse and cultural hub nestled in the Medina of Tunis, celebrating local craftsmanship and warm Tunisian hospitality.
 
Depending on your arrival time, you’ll either have free time to explore the Medina’s winding streets or be welcomed directly with a traditional dinner at the guesthouse, offering you your first taste of delicious Tunisian cuisine.

Day 2 is where the magic begins. After enjoying breakfast at Dar Ben Gacem, you’ll set off with one of Tunisia’s finest local guides, Wildtunis, who will reveal the hidden stories behind the Medina’s every corner.
 
Next, you’ll take a short 30-minute drive to the Carthage archaeological site, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where another guide, fluent not only in English but also in the languages of the ancient civilizations that once thrived here, will bring its ruins to life.
 
Your day concludes in the most enchanting way: in the white-and-blue hilltop village of Sidi Bou Saïd, where you can watch the sun set over the Mediterranean from one of Tunis’s highest vantage points.

This day marks the beginning of your steps toward Tunisia’s magical south. You’ll embark on a three-hour drive to Kairouan, where the winding road treats you to spectacular mountain views along the way.
 
Upon arrival in Kairouan, you’ll be captivated by the city’s rich Islamic heritage, where the mosques and mausoleums tell the story of its former status as a capital for early Islamic leaders. You’ll also savor local specialties like kaftaji and makroudh, delights that will enchant your taste buds.
 
After exploring Kairouan’s beauty, you’ll continue on to Hergla, a peaceful coastal town brimming with culture.
Tonight, you’ll stay at Dar Khadija—a charming guesthouse just steps from the beach, centered around a serene courtyard with a pool.

Wake up to a traditional breakfast in Dar Khadija’s courtyard, then set off for El Jem; home to the world’s third-largest colosseum. Spend the morning touring the arena, imagining the gladiatorial battles, exploring the underground chambers once used to hold prisoners, and climbing to the emperor’s viewing platform.
 
Feeling hungry? Enjoy lunch just outside the Colosseum, then visit the nearby museum, which showcases mosaics, Roman tools and statues, and the remains of ancient villas.
 
After your magnificent visit to El Jem, embark on a scenic drive to Tataouine, leaving city life behind and soaking up Tunisia’s stunning landscapes. Check in at Domaine Oued el Khil, a beautiful eco-farm where you’ll stay, then savor a homemade traditional dinner prepared by your welcoming host—your first true taste of southern hospitality.

After a homemade breakfast, set out with a local guide to uncover the treasures of the Tataouine region. Wander through the legendary ksour (ancient fortified granaries) and pause for a warm, family-hosted lunch that offers genuine cultural immersion.
 
Next, venture on to the evocative Berber villages of Chenini and Douiret before embarking on a brief sunset hike to the hidden haven of Guermessa.
 
Finally, return to the Domaine to enjoy one last, lovingly prepared dinner.

Following your last homemade breakfast, you’ll set off for Douz "Gateway to the Sahara” on a roughly 4-hour drive through spectacular landscapes.
 
Upon arrival at the desert camp, meet your nomadic hosts and choose between a 30-minute camel trek or a walk through the dunes as they scout the ideal spot for the evening.
 
While the sun bathes the sands in a warm glow, watch the camp come together around you. As night falls, join in baking traditional “sand bread” by the campfire, share a hearty dinner, then slip into your tent for an unforgettable night beneath a canopy of stars.

Greet the day with a breathtaking desert dawn and savor a hearty nomad-style breakfast.
 
After a gentle camel trek back from the dunes, you’ll have a moment to refresh. And if you’re up for it, try your hand at sandboarding or join an exhilarating 4×4 excursion for one last adventure.
 
Next, set off on a two-hour drive to Tozeur, the desert’s lively capital and don’t forget your camera as you cross the legendary salt flats!
 
In the afternoon, explore the city on foot with a knowledgeable guide, marveling at the intricate brickwork of the old Medina before pausing for refreshments at a charming rooftop café.
 
Finally, unwind in the evening as you settle into your chic boutique hotel for the night.

Once you’ve enjoyed breakfast, get ready for a full-day adventure through some of Tozeur’s most spectacular landscapes. You’ll embark on a journey into the towering Mides Canyon, uncover the hidden desert waterfalls at Chebika, and wander through the verdant oasis of Tamerza’s mountain springs.
 
Midday, pause for a leisurely lunch amid the palms and cool waters of a quiet oasis.
 
As afternoon light softens, make your way back to Tozeur and settle into your boutique hotel for one last enchanting evening.

Following your last Tozeur breakfast, check out and set off for Tunis, your mind brimming with memories of this off-the-beaten-path adventure.
 
Once back in the capital, you’ll have the afternoon to yourself, whether you choose to savor a coffee in a Medina café, sample more local delicacies, or simply unwind, it’s the perfect way to spend your final day before tomorrow’s flight.
