A day trip from Djerba – the South-East

From Djerba to the Troglodyte Homes

Your day of adventure through Tunisia’s unique landscapes begins early, with a 7:00 AM pick-up directly from your hotel. This one-day desert circuit is the perfect escape during a beach holiday, taking you deep into the heart of the Southeast. The journey starts toward the mountain village of Toujane, offering magnificent panoramic views, before continuing to Matmata.

This region is world-renowned for its lunar landscapes and, most notably, its unique troglodyte dwellings carved into the earth. You will visit one of these cave homes to discover the fascinating architecture and traditional way of life that defines this part of Tunisia.

The Route of the Ksour and Tataouine

After Matmata, your southern adventure continues along a spectacular route. You will travel a rugged mountain road with breathtaking vistas leading into the heart of the Ksour region.

The tour explores several of the area’s most famous fortified granaries: Ksar Hallouf, followed by Ksar Haddada, before reaching the historic site of Chenini. The itinerary then brings you to Tataouine, where a lunch break is scheduled to recharge before the afternoon’s exploration. Highlights include a visit to Ksar Ouled Soltane, one of the best-preserved ksour in all of Tunisia.
