Siamo stati al camping dunes insolites una notte tramite un tour organizzato. L'esperienza al campo nel deserto è ricchissima di attività e momenti spettacolari. Un plauso va allo staff del campus gentilissimo e ben organizzato. Consigliatissimo!

2-Day Sahara Tour

Hallo zusammen, ich möchte mich zunächst bedanken für diese wundervollen zwei Tage. Wir wurden ganz typisch nach tunesischer Art fast pünktlich abgeholt und wurden ganz herzlich empfangen, bevor es losging. Auf dem Weg wurden wir mit ausreichend Pausen an Sehenswürdigkeiten vorbeigefahren und haben durch den Guide viel über Tunesien im ganzen erfahren. Beim Highlight, der Sahara hatten wir wirklich luxuriöse Zelte mit Klimaanlage und Bad, wobei da nur kaltes Wasser verfügbar war. AdOns wie die Quadtour und das Kamelreiten waren super, das Snowboardfahren war recht amüsant. Vor Ort gab es dann ein großes Dinner mit verschiedenen Shows. Nach dem Sonnenaufgang am nächsten Tag ging es dann weiter über die Salzseen, die große Moschee und auch hier gab es wieder ein Lunch(was leider etwas billig war und nicht dem Standart der restlichen Reise entsprach) bis wir dann abends wieder nach Hause gebracht wurden. Vielen Dank für die zwei Tage, würden wir im Nachhinein wieder so buchen. Daaaanke!

L'endroit est en plein désert ; il suffit de sortir de la tente pour se retrouver au milieu des dunes du Sahara. Nous sommes arrivés sans problème avec notre voiture de location, une petite voiture. Le personnel est très attentionné et serviable. Le prix comprend non seulement les repas et l'hébergement, mais aussi de petites expériences comme un spectacle musical avec de la musique en direct autour du feu, un thé sur les dunes pour admirer le coucher du soleil et une démonstration de préparation de pain berbère traditionnel. Il est également possible de réserver, moyennant un supplément, d'autres activités, comme des promenades en quad ou à dos de dromadaire dans le désert.

Un immense merci à Sami et à Lassad, ainsi qu’à tout le personnel accueillant et très chaleureux! Ils ont vraiment été aux petits soins avec moi et se sont assurés que mon séjour soit parfait! Je recommande fortement cet endroit et cette expérience inoubliable dans le désert de Sabria! Merci! Claudia (du Canada)

Magnifique séjour au milieu du désert. Le logement était magnifique, propre avec les essentiels. L’équipe est très proactive et fait preuve d’une grande gentillesse. La nourriture est excellente, et les animations proposées permettent une découverte des traditions (musique, spectacle et nourriture). Je recommande sans hésitation.
