Sif es Souan — Les Grandes Dunes de Tunisie

The start of our journey takes us through the fine sand dune landscapes of the Sablazett. Sand as white and fine as powdered sugar greets us at the start of this magnificent ten-day ride on the dunes. In the next few days our path is determined by the course of the dunes. Only a rough direction is given to us…always further it pulls us in southern direction. Our days are marked by finding the best way through endless sand hills. Our ride is like surfing on waves of sand. There is no predefined route. Pure driving fun! On the way, with a bit of luck, we will meet Algerian desert nomads with their camels and learn about their way of life in this endless sea of sand and rubble, which is so unknown to us.

Our local team consists of experienced desert guides, cooks and a mechanic. Every evening we set up a large tent and are provided with freshly cooked dinner and breakfast. This allows us to keep the supplies in our vehicles small and saves weight, which is an unbeatable advantage on this demanding tour through the foothills of the Grand Erg Oriental. About halfway through the tour, we slowly loop around and head back north. On the evening of the tenth day, we reach our camp in Es Sabria again. Before we slowly make our way towards Tunis, we spend some time in Douz, the gateway to the Sahara, to drink a cup of tea, watch the hustle and bustle for a while or get a souvenir. Here everyone can prove their negotiating skills again .…… This trip, due to its nature, places different demands on vehicle and equipment than on our other trips. Precisely because we will be self-sufficient in the desert for ten days, we need to make much more precise travel preparations. In order to discuss all requirements in advance, an extensive initial telephone contact with us is mandatory for this tour. Of course, after booking, you will receive detailed checklists from us, which are contained in the travel documents and are intended to make travel preparations easier for you. We expressly point out that the trip offered here is desert extreme and vehicles and drivers, must necessarily bring a corresponding suitability. An optimal preparation for this tour, would be a previous participation in our Desert Pure Tour to the Lost Lake. We largely refrain from sightseeing in any form. Adventure in the dunes, driving in the sand, silence and breathtaking starry skies are definitely in the foreground here.

We look forward to welcoming you on this sand-tastic tour. Dive into the adventure of Sahara with us …
