Long Description
This cultural excursion takes you into the heart of the Tunisian south, where history, Berber traditions, and spectacular landscapes come together to offer a rich and authentic experience.
The day begins with a visit to Matmata, famous for its troglodyte houses dug underground. You will discover the ancestral way of life of Berber families, which is perfectly adapted to the region's arid climate. Matmata is also known worldwide as one of the Star Wars shooting locations, adding a unique cinematic dimension to the tour.
Next, you will continue on to Toujane, a beautiful Berber village hidden discreetly between two mountains. Its ochre houses, narrow alleys, and breathtaking panoramas bear witness to a well-preserved architectural and cultural heritage. Toujane is also renowned for its traditional crafts, particularly the weaving of Berber rugs.
Your exploration continues in Ksar Hallouf, a former Berber collective granary that symbolises the community life and solidarity of yesteryear. It is in this authentic setting that you will enjoy a traditional lunch at Dar Sana, a local home that showcases Tunisian cuisine and Berber hospitality. This will be a special moment of sharing, bringing you closer to local traditions.
Throughout this tour, you will immerse yourself in the history, customs, and expertise of the Berber people, all while taking in landscapes that combine mountains, desert, and ancient architecture.
This experience is perfect for travellers seeking authenticity, culture, and human connections, away from the usual tourist routes.
