Venture into the harsh heart of the desert and discover how the Berber people have survived in the Sahara since time immemorial. Travel through rugged terrain with mud-built villages clinging precariously to dizzying ridges. View the ancient Berber granaries or ‘ghorfas’ with their distinctive honeycomb structure at Medenine, Ksar Hadada and Ksar Ouled Soltane. ‘Star Wars’ fans will recognise these fascinating buildings from the movie ‘The Phantom Menace’!
See lonely hill-top fortresses like Ghomrassen, relics of more dangerous times when desert marauders lived by raiding other people’s homes.
Overnight in the attractive town of Tataouine and return next day to Djerba with stops at historic Giktis and the delightful Mediterranean resort of Zarzis
