Very recommended - We took a two-day personalized and private tour from Djerba through Berber villages, cave houses and overnight in the desert. Maher was very flexible to meet our requests and warm him and the guide who accompanied us, Choshu e Belkacem, were very available and friendly. We just recommend them. Thank you and see you soon

Sahara visit - We reached Ksar Ghilane and the hot springs in the afternoon. There were many people at the springs, so the adults didn’t swim, and only one of the kids used the pool. The quad biking was very fun, and we got to watch the sunset, which was a highlight of the trip. I had hoped to see the Milky Way and many stars in the desert without light pollution, but unfortunately it was cloudy and there was a full moon, so the stars were not very visible. The desert camp was very nice, with live music and a traditional bread-baking ceremony over the fire, which was a lovely experience. The night in the Sahara was very cold, so I strongly recommend bringing a sleeping bag and extra warm clothes if you are visiting in winter. Dinner was good, but it was again chicken and couscous. The next morning we were late for breakfast, so there wasn’t much left. We headed back after a camel ride and visited the area near Tataouine where Star Wars was filmed, which made the kids very happy. Lunch was, once again, chicken and couscous. The food quality was good, but quite repetitive. We also visited an ancient village hidden in the mountains, which was very interesting. Overall, it was a memorable and unique experience. Sahara desert nature is very beautiful and unique.

Ksar Ghilane tour - Overall very satisfied with the tour. Great care was taken in the selection of the sites visited which were often off the beaten path with some truely magical sites. Accommodation and food was basic but fine. The camel ride was great. More historical/cultural/ environmental commentary would have enhanced the tour.

Overall it felt underwhelming but we had some lovely moments - + We visited some surprising spots, like an artisan hot spring in the middle of nowhere. + The food was plenty and average + The guide made sure we were doing fine. – The tour was booked in German and even confirmed as such the day before, but the guide didn’t speak German at all and most explanations were only in French. We don't speak French and the guide spoke little English, so explanations were limited to French and other guests had to translate. – There was little cultural or background information and our questions stayed unanswered – Some places from the description were missing – At times it felt more like a selling trip and tipping seemed strongly requested
