Travel deep into Berber country and stand where Star Wars was filmed

A full-day private tour from Djerba into Tataouine and the surrounding ksours, with a certified local guide, traditional lunch, and entry to Ksar Ouled Soltane.

Hotel pickup is included. The tour runs ten hours and suits all fitness levels.

The experience

If you have a full day free in Djerba and want to see the inland Berber villages without renting a car or navigating alone, this tour takes you across the Roman Causeway to the heart of the region. The route moves through four distinct stops, each one a different kind of Berber settlement: Chenini sits on a hilltop with homes carved directly into the rock; Ksar Ouled Soltane is a fortified granary and one of the most photographed examples of traditional architecture in the south; Ksar Hadada is another ksar tied to Star Wars filming; and Tataouine itself is the market town that anchors the region. A certified guide who speaks Arabic leads the day, and the operator handles all transport.

Entry to Ksar Ouled Soltane is included, which saves the separate ticket and means you skip the negotiation at the gate. You'll eat a traditional lunch in a local setting: the source names it as hearty and featuring local specialties, though the exact menu shifts with what is available. Bottled water comes with you throughout the ten hours. The tour is built to work for families with infants (strollers are fine) and for travelers of any fitness level. All the sites and surfaces are wheelchair accessible, and specialized infant seats are available if you're traveling with a very small child.

Hotel pickup from Djerba is part of the booking, so you don't arrange separate transport to the starting point. The day is long but paced around the stops themselves rather than rushed between them. You spend real time at each ksar and village, not a quick photo stop. This is a private tour, so the guide and vehicle are yours alone for the day.
