Explore Tunisia in two days with stops at the Colosseum of El Jem and the troglodyte houses of Matmata. A journey combining history, culture, and natural beauty.

Day 01: Exploration of El Jem and Matmata Your adventure begins with a warm welcome at your accommodation before heading to El Jem to visit its famous colosseum. This impressive structure, measuring 148 meters long and 122 meters wide, could accommodate up to 35,000 spectators, showcasing the grandeur of the Roman Empire in the 3rd century. After this dive into ancient history, you will proceed to Matmata, a Berber village nestled in the mountainside.

Enjoy lunch with local specialties before continuing to Douz, the gateway to the desert. Explore this charming town and settle in at the hotel for dinner and overnight stay.

Day 02: Sunrise at Chott El Djerid and Discovery of Chebika The second day begins with an early wake-up to witness the sunrise over Chott El Djerid, a vast and dazzling salt lake where mirages create captivating illusions. After this natural spectacle, you will head towards Chebika via Dgueche, a picturesque village in southern Tunisia. In Chebika, explore this mountain oasis and discover the ruins of the ancient Berber village. The day continues with a visit to Ong Jmal, famous for its appearances in the 'Star Wars' saga, and a stroll through Mos Espa, a site that seems timeless. After lunch in Gafsa, you will journey back to Tunis with a scenic stop in Kairouan. Explore this historic city, the first capital of the Maghreb known for its traditional carpets.
