We booked from France by exchanging emails for a half-day tour of Djerba with pickup directly from the airport and the next day a full-day excursion in the desert by 4x4. Everything went very well. Our guide Maher was very friendly, punctual, and helpful.
Partially interesting, but overall the tour is not worth it. Sitting in the car for a long time. Oasis is not recommended. Dirty facility. Better not to use the restroom. The changing room is more like a curtain.
A big thank you to Maher!!! A wonderful day
