Where the camp is, when to come, and what you can actually do there.
Sabria sits in the Kébili governorate, at the edge of the Tunisian Sahara — the region that holds most of the country's desert, alongside Douz, Ksar Ghilane, Tozeur, Tataouine, and Matmata.
That's where our camp is: traditional tents, camels, and quads, right at the line between the palm grove and the first dunes.
The best window runs October through April: warm but manageable days, cool nights — exactly right for sleeping outdoors without suffering from heat or cold.
July and August are worth avoiding: daytime temperatures regularly pass 40°C (104°F), which makes anything in direct sun hard going.
Three experiences make up most trips here: the camel trek, the quad safari, and dune sandboarding — each booked as an add-on to a night's stay or a bivouac.
The stay itself comes in two shapes: the fixed camp, with a choice of accommodation (tent, room, or dune suite), or the bivouac, a simpler night further into the dunes.
No prior experience is needed for any of the three activities — every session opens with an on-site briefing. Minimum age for the quad is 16 with photo ID; children aged six and up can ride a camel with an adult.
Phone signal is intermittent once you're in the dunes — every guide carries a satellite messenger, and the base knows each group's route and expected return time.
