SOUSSE – KAIROUAN – TOZEUR
At 8:00 am, your guide will meet you at the reception of the hotel, where he will give you a briefing about this first day of the tour and then direct you to your tour vehicle. You will ride for an hour before arriving in the Capital of Islam, the city of Kairouan. Upon arrival, your guide will walk you through the old Medina of Kairouan to the Great Mosque of Kairouan, located in the middle of the Medina and built by the Arab general Uqba Ibn Nafi in 670 AD. The next visit is to the Aghlabid water site, where two large basins and a few cisterns have survived the centuries. Lunch will be in the city of Gafsa, en route to Tozeur. Before checking in at your hotel, hop on a 4×4 to discover the oasis, drive through the desert and occasional dry salt lakes to arrive at the mountain oasis of Chebika. Make a stop at the Star Wars movie site in the Sahara Desert, possibly catching the sunset. In the evening, enjoy dinner at the hotel.
