On the agenda
Come explore southern Tunisia and prepare to be captivated by the cultural richness and diverse landscapes in an arid to semi-desert environment. Mount your Himalayan to discover treasures both human and natural; from the centuries-old traditions of the Dahar mountain range - and Berber - to the fringes of the Great Eastern Erg, or Sahara Desert. You will discover the cosmopolitan history of Djerba island, the enchanting dunes and the power of the vast Saharan expanses, the date palm groves, these plant islands synonymous with survival for the Bedouins, and the unsuspected Amazigh heritage of Dahar, its millennial cultural traditions, its troglodyte dwellings, its astonishing citadel-villages. Join us for a Tunisia motorcycle tour where adventure and discovery await you.
The Caravan Trail

MOTORCYCLE TRIP IN TUNISIA

7 stages - 684 miles
Djerba Island
1/7 • Djerba Island
Welcome to Djerba, for this Africa motorcycle tour! You are welcomed at the airport and transferred to your hotel located in Houmt Souk, the island's historic city. Once settled in our fondouk, an ancestral building where merchants and travelers lodged, you are free to wander through the historic alleys of the souk, with its colorful stalls of fabrics, objects, and spices. Stroll through the unique architectural atmosphere of its whitewashed buildings and the ubiquitous blooming bougainvillea. Enjoy the island's legendary nonchalance by having a coffee or a freshly squeezed orange juice in the shade of the tamarind trees. Overnight in a heritage and standard hotel.
25 minutes transfer
Djerba - Tataouine
2/7 • Djerba - Tataouine
Early departure to reach the motorcycles about 9 miles from Houmt Souk. After leaving the island and reaching the mainland via the only road link (the ancient Roman Road), we quickly head towards the mountainous region of Dahar. We access its arid reliefs and valleys, where every drop of water counts, in the late morning. Lunch in the shade of palm trees, in a mountain oasis. In the second part, we enter the land of Ksour and fortified villages, built in the past by semi-nomadic populations to protect and store harvests and other precious goods. We reach our guesthouse north of Tataouine at the end of the day. Overnight in a heritage and standard hotel.
146 Miles
Tataouine - Ksar Ghilane
3/7 • Tataouine - Ksar Ghilane
We head towards the southernmost point of the trip, crossing the city of Tataouine, whose name was popularized by the Star Wars saga, to see one of the most interesting Ksour, in Ouled Soltane. We continue all morning in the reliefs of Dahar, up to the citadel-village of Chenini, for lunch. In the afternoon, we ride towards the Tunisian Sahara and its well-known oasis, Ksar Ghilane. Turns become rare, the first dune fields appear, and we enter a new world. Possibility to swim in the oasis spring, or go quad biking in the dunes. Overnight in a standard hotel, in a Bedouin-style tent.
121 Miles
Ksar Ghilane - Douz
4/7 • Ksar Ghilane - Douz
To get from the oasis to Douz, you have to follow the edge of the desert, along a road where sandbanks regularly appear. Or camel herds. Lunch in downtown Douz, then in the afternoon, we do a loop through the date palm groves, the region's main economic resource, to ride along the southern edge of Chott El Jerid, a vast depression of an invisible salt lake. The shade and calm of the palm groves are a blessing in these lands of harsh life. Overnight in a standard hotel. 99 miles + 47 miles (optional).
99 Miles
Douz - Matmata
5/7 • Douz - Matmata
After riding through other palm grove islets on the eastern fringe of Chott El Jerid, we cross a vast desert area before rejoining the northern part of the Dahar range after lunch. We once again enter the reliefs via Ancient Zraoua, another fascinating citadel-village. And finally, we approach Matmata, known for its troglodyte dwellings dug into the ground, and its slight resemblance to Cappadocia. We ride through this stunning, time-frozen landscape during the second part of the day before reaching our troglodyte guesthouse. Overnight in a charming standard hotel.
155 Miles
Matmata - Djerba
6/7 • Matmata - Djerba
We fully enjoy this morning entirely dedicated to the landscapes of northern Dahar, where crops and greenery gradually reappear. Traditional lunch on a mountainside, within an ancient Berber village built of dry stone, before descending into the plain towards the coast. We board the ferry to return to Djerba Island. We drop off our motorcycles in the late afternoon and return to Houmt Souk. Dinner at the fondouk to debrief together the best moments of this motorcycle ride. Overnight in a standard hotel.
115 Miles
Djerba Island
7/7 • Djerba Island
