Truly amazing!!! As exceptional as I imagined ✨ the organization was very well done and we were able to have transport from our hotel El Mouradi Douz directly. We even got dropped off by camel directly at the hotel at the end. About 6 hours of dromedary in total, 2 hours in the morning, rest at the camp at noon, 2 hours at sunset that is too magnificent and then a small party by the fire. The starry sky and even shooting stars the next morning wake up at 6:30 to admire the sunrise, breakfast and hop another 2 hours of dromedary to the hotel! We even stopped “picking” sand roses! The whole team were very warm, attentive and smiling. A beautiful energy emerges from them ✨ To do absolutely!!! Worth the expense, lifetime memories (and lots of great photos) and one less thing on the bucketlist ✌️

Excellent organization, everyone is very caring and the staff seem to appreciate their work very much and it shows in lots of little details. The camel drivers are particularly charming. The camp is equipped with adequate sanitary facilities, the food is good and the tents are very comfortable. In the evening there was a fire and a trio of musicians playing traditional music. I highly recommend.

We counted with Nebil, a really expierienced guide who went over every single detail regarding Tunísia history and more. Cheni and the surroundings deserve a visit!

Great day in the company of a very nice and knowledgeable guide. We recommend this excursion which will make you discover the Tunisian South.

We had a great time! Everything was organized well and all people were super nice! Can recommend this tour!
