Traveled in 2008 Bought from a hotel guide. I liked it very much. Definitely worth it. You will see almost half the country in two days. It is better to go in comfortable shoes, such as sandals, but I was in comfortable flip-flops. It is very hot in the desert during the day, you need to take a lot of water with you, a hat, a protective cream, preferably with covered shoulders, you can burn out. Camel riding in the desert in national dress. We spent the night at a hotel in the desert. Cool. We got a lot of beautiful photos. It seems to me that one can get an impression of the country only from this trip. Were still in a one-day trip to Tunisia, Bardo, Sidi Bou Said, Carthage. Everything is very fast, but you can also go. We saw the main thing in three days. Sitting in a hotel you will not understand Tunisia.

traveled with my daughter (8 years old) in June 2012. The cost is 205 dinars (departure from Monastir) per person from West Travel with a wonderful guide Hamdi (totally RUSSIAN group!!!!). (I was advised not to go from Biblioglobus, because they have combined groups and pay very little attention to Russians !!!) They took swimsuits, towels, a bottle of water and hats with them. . . and of course money for souvenirs and drinks, because. to. they are not included in the price of the trip!!! We rode in comfortable sandals, shorts and T-shirts, did not burn out !!! When the caravan goes to the desert, they give national clothes))) You will see: the amphitheater in El Jem, you will visit the troglodytes in the caves, in the city of Matmata in the desert. . . . take a ride in the jeeps of the Paris-Dakar rally. . . . swim in a waterfall in an oasis, go with a caravan to the desert. . . fly over the desert on a hang glider. . . . (unforgettable!!!!!) in Douz you can swim in the pool with thermal water. . . . in Kairouan you will see beautiful handmade carpets. .. (I couldn't even resist, I bought myself one)))) and this is only a small part of what you will see. . . . In general, I think that I will be impressed for a long time))))

Please note that the sand in the desert is very fine, so it is advisable to protect your eyes. Glasses, for example. If you wear lenses - take a spare pair, because. If grains of sand get on the lenses, you won’t remove them anymore, they will rub. When riding camels, you will be given clothes and scarves that you have already worn before, so take shampoo with you - the water in the hotel in the desert is very hard, the soap simply does not wash, it is unrealistic to wash your hair. But there are swimming pools (in the one in which we were - both outdoor and indoor). So you can take swimsuits and large towels. This is also useful if you plan to swim in the oasis - there is nowhere to change clothes near the lake.

Also during the trip we were brought to a souvenir shop - the prices were the lowest of all, and the choice is very good (in my opinion, Kairouan). Later, even in Hammamet, I could not buy the same things for the same price. So you can take money with the expectation of souvenirs. In the desert we also bought dates, very tasty, in boxes. In the desert, be careful with photographic equipment - sand got into the camera, began to jam, close with a creak.

We were also taken to the places where Star Wars was filmed, the scenery remained there, I don’t know if they take us now.
But it’s definitely worth the trip - it will turn the entire consciousness of the desert upside down! The calm charm of the desert is replaced by the lush greenery of the oasis (which is not three stunted palm trees, but a hefty forest with mountains, lakes, waterfalls) - these are impressions!

Yes, there they put on some kind of cape and wrap this Bedouin in burnous. Stuffy, yes, hot mostly in the head :-). But I always take clothes made of very thin cotton on such trips, and I don’t go in the summer, September-October. It was bearable. But all this was justified, since the wind wears sand very strongly, clothes are like protection, well, plus exotic. As always, they will take pictures of you, while you drive, they will take pictures, then it will be possible to redeem, but not necessarily.
Go ahead, don't hesitate. This is a VERY rich excursion, but at the same time everything is perceived and transferred easily, a plus for organization and thoughtfulness. We traveled in 2007. from the Oasis, took excursions from our guide, decided not to risk it (I was with a child). Impressions remained positive. I can’t say anything about the other organizing companies, look on the Internet.

In the desert, you can be offered skiing for an extra charge. fee for quad bikes on the dunes. Due to this, the time of riding camels is reduced. We drove. I can’t stand the heat very well and didn’t want to ride a camel after the quad bike, but the guide persuaded me and we rode a short route. Thank you for persuading me. We had a very cool guide Ahmed, nicknamed the "nightingale". I entertained all the way, so two days flew by without being noticed.
I advise you, when you sit on a camel, close your legs well, the animal has a painfully hard fur and take water with you. I support, about buying souvenirs in Kairouan, it's really cheaper. Lots of ceramics. And they also brought us to some store where there was a cafe and they prepared tea with mint and pine nuts, very tasty.

Two weeks ago I returned from Tunisia! An excursion to the Sahara must be taken, but it’s better after you visit Carthage or somewhere else, it’s painfully tiring to shake on the bus for 2 days. The tour was taken from the guide ($ 147), shoes - ordinary slates, clothes - a T-shirt, shorts and panama. Take a swimsuit with you, because. visit the "waterfall", where you will be offered to swim, water, glasses. On excursions, they offer to ride camels (they give out clothes there, and it’s not at all hot in it!), ATVs (it’s very fun), a steam plane - all this is for a fee (25, 30, 40 dinars, respectively). Also on the tour you will meet the sunrise and ride on safari jeeps (a little extreme and cool!).
