Desert guide: making the most of your Sahara excursion

When to go, what to pack and how to choose your trip into the Tunisian desert.

The best time to discover the Tunisian Sahara runs from October to April. In summer, temperatures often exceed 45 °C, so excursions take place early in the morning or late in the day.

Pack light but covering clothes, a scarf for blowing sand, sturdy closed shoes, sun cream and plenty of water. Desert nights can be cool, so bring a fleece.

From a simple sunset over the dunes to a multi-day camel trek, there is an option for everyone. Our local guides know every track and adapt the pace to your group.
