Your day begins in Chebika, an ancient Berber village clinging to the mountains. You will take a picturesque path that winds between cliffs and palm trees, leading to a crystal clear spring nestled in the hollow of the rock. A magnificent panorama opens onto Chott El Gharsa, perfect for unforgettable photos. Depending on the season, you can cool off in a natural waterfall.
Continue to Tamaghza, the largest oasis in the region. Bordered by cliffs and crossed by a spectacular canyon, it offers a breathtaking scenery. Enjoy a stroll in the shade of the palm trees, then indulge in a typical terrace lunch (optional) in a local restaurant, overlooking the valley.
Then, towards Mides, on the Algerian border. This picturesque village overlooks an impressive red stone canyon carved by time. Stroll through the ancient walls of the ksar, enjoy a tasting of local dates, and let yourself be invaded by the tranquility of the place.

Excellent tour with Naser and Eddy! We saw different ecological niches from desert dunes to a palm oasis with a very knowledgable guide. He always checked in, offered water and snacks, and we enjoyed some of the more adventurous riding in the sand dunes! I would recommend this tour to anyone
We had an exceptional 4x4 experience in the Tozeur region. From the beginning, everything was perfectly organized. The vehicle was comfortable and very suitable for desert tracks. Our guide was amazing: professional, passionate and very friendly. He made us discover breathtaking landscapes between sand desert, rock formations and emblematic places like movie sets. The 4x4 feelings on the slopes were really impressive, with off-road runs adding a real dose of adrenaline, while remaining safe. Special mention for the sunset in the desert... a magical moment that will never be forgotten. I recommend 100% this excursion to all those passing through Tozeur. A unique experience that is well worth a visit!
