Tozeur Private Half-Day Tour: Tamerza, Chebika and Mides Canyons

What is Travellers’ Choice?
Tripadvisor gives a Travellers’ Choice award to accommodations, attractions and restaurants that consistently earn great reviews from travellers and are ranked within the top 10% of properties on Tripadvisor.
A few dozen kilometers from Tozeur and Nefta are Chebika, Tamerza, and Midès, oases in a landscape of mountains that is one of the most moving sites in southern Tunisia. In this breathtakingly beautiful landscape, every oasis is different. In Chebika, a wadi runs down the side of a steep mountain, forming waterfalls and rivulets where frogs have made their home. The old village of Tamerza abandoned like a ghost village, looks out at a spectacular mountainous landscape; its lush oasis is fed by a towering waterfall. Last but not least, Midès, tucked away into a dizzyingly high canyon, boasts spectacular views.

          Great Tours - One Stop Shopping for Tunis/Sousse Sites
          We did three Saharasky tours: a) half-day Dougga tour with Bouhedine from Tunis (Medina); b) full-day Kairouan and El Jem tour with Nour from Sousse; and c) a half-day Carthage tour with Nour (from Sidi Bou Said).(Kais was our driver for all three.) We also had the company arrange for cars from Tunis to/from Sousse. Both guides were very knowledgeable and good company and the vehicles, meals and other practicalities were all handled smoothly (not always easy during Ramadan). Also have to give Bouhedine a shout out for helping us collect our missing bags from the airport (which we were told were still in Paris). We couldn’t have gotten them from the lost luggage locker without her!

          Simply the best!!!
          Really good experience. The tour guide Mr. Mahmoudh had deeply rooted understanding of history of all the places we visited. He really made this trip very interesting with facts and stories that made this trip a memorable and enticing one. His articulation and usage of terms were top notch. Strongly recommend this if are on your solo trip as you get to tour with people from various backgrounds who are as curious as you.

          Great trip from Hammamat
          Very good driver. Very helpful and even though English was not fully comprehensive. It really was a great experience with good value for money. He arrived early and didn't place limits on times and no issue if the time ran slightly over. Very flexible

          Star Wars Location Tour by incredible guide Mustapha
          Mustapha was my guide for my solo trip to see specific Star Wars locations in/around Tozeur. His Star Wars knowledge of these locations made my trip very memorable. The itinerary was comprehensive, Mos Espos, Camel Neck, Mides, Chott El Jerid (Lars Homestead) per the program. What sets Mustapha apart is that he took me to a little known location outside of Tozeur that was a panoramic view of a canyon used in the original New Hope film seeing it from two perspectives (top view and a 1km walk inside the canyon). It was difficult to get there by 4x4, but he knew how to navigate the roads. Amazing. My honest opinion is that if you would like an English friendly guide/driver who specializes in Star Wars, Mustapha is a must pick. His WhatsApp is +21628402923 and he is willing to answer any questions you have regarding potential Star Wars related ideas.

          Excellent one day tour of Tozeur plus Star Wars spots
          I went solo for this one day trip. The tour was action packed and hit the main locations per the itinerary. I loved Mides (so close to the canyon), Mos Espos (go now before the weather and Mother Nature reclaims the movie set), the Camel Neck, and the Lars Homestead (rebuilt in 2011). The ride was very comfortable and Saad was a good driver, wanting to please making sure you had enough time in the different places. Note that Saad doesn’t speak English, but we made the best of the trip by using Google translate. As mentioned he was very attentive and friendly.

          Great tour, worth the traffic jams 👌
          I booked so that I could join a group tour as I find solo travelling daunting enough. Sadly, the group option was not available and I had to upgrade to a private tour. No regrets though. Bouhdid and Mr Mohammed the driver were highly professional and nice. Lunch was pretty much as expected at a popular corner cafe. My personal favourites were the coffee shop in the markets and carthage ( roman baths were atmospheric). I wish I'd seen flamingoes near the lake but I was pleased to hear they come to Tunisia often. Perhaps I'll come again with a huge suitcase next time for all the amazing local products to buy. Thanks again

          Day trip Carthage
          Our driver was very knowledgeable, professional and accommodating to our schedule. He drove us to many sites and waited until we were finished before taking us to the next place-We never felt rushed. It was a great day with plenty to see. Highly recommend.

          Our whole experience with our guide Mourad Belaidi was amazing he took us all o er and ensured we were given loads of informations about Carthage the romain baths and the Medina… he took us to a shop with lots of rugs and displays as well as an essential oils shop. Our day with him was simply amazing I would highly recommend him

          Very good and memorable experience.
          The Saharansky agency is the best. From the start till the end. They picked me up on time from my accomodation as planned, very punctual. 9:00 is 9:00. Not a minute late. Then once arrived to desert, i ride a personal camel. At lunch time, we arrived at our camp where a personal tent was ready for me. The camp is huge with comfortable facilities. The afternoon we went out again on camel until sunset in the desert. Everything was good. Thank Mounir, Marzouk, Amda & Mourish( the 🐫)

          Desert Wilderness
          We selected this tour to get a unique glimpse of remote Saharan desert wilderness and in comfort. It was well organised throughout. The driver & then 4X4 guide were amiable & efficient. The drive into & around the desert was just what we were hoping for & we got some wonderful photos & memories, alone in the vast wilderness of blue skies & keen winds with shifting sands. The lunches in Matmata were good & the drivers were always at our service to stop whenever. The camp itself was strange: it certainly IS remote & very well positioned with great views up the sands for sunrise & sunset. THe staff were friendly & helpful & the food was indeed delicious. The camp itself is NOT however LUXURY! We had it to ourselves which added to the feeling of remoteness but the tent was very cold so we asked for gas to get the heater on for an additional sum. The bar & restaurant were tatty, stained & faded &, worst of all, we were awoken at 4.30am in the morning as one of the staff blared out very loud music from his company 4X4. Nobody stopped him & only apologised at breakfast. A bad end to our stay & needless stupidity! We were both glad that we took this trip but it could so be improved & the camp was certainly not luxurious!

          The guide makes or breaks this tour. We were lucky!
          My girlfriend and I went on a 3-day trek into the Sahara desert from Douz over New Year's Eve. Our goal was a silent, relaxing start to 2025 close to nature. All of our expectations were fulfilled. Everything was perfectly planned and executed. The food was amazing, and the accommodation was nice and exactly what you would expect. However, the success of the entire tour depends on your guide. We were lucky to have Amir. He is a young Bedouin who is one of the few people who still lives as a true nomad. You can sense his love for the Sahara. He shared many stories about his passion for the desert and his dedication to preserving it. Unlike some other guides, Amir treats his camels like his own children. While some guides treat their animals poorly (even hitting them). Amir's gentle care for his camels was wonderful to witness. This was extremely important to us, as we wanted our vacation to be as sustainable as possible. If you're planning a similar trip, ask for Amir - he's the best choice you can make.

          Small group tour from Hammamet to Carthage, Medina Tunis, Bardo museum and Sidi Bou Said
          Bouhdid our guide and James our driver picked us pick 5min early. Great start. Boudid is very friendly and genuinely looked after our small group all day. He is very knowledgeable but even more so passionate about his countries heritage. It’s quite infectious! The tour itinerary felt just right. A full day of sight seeing without feeling rushed. Boudid took us to many shops which is staffed on these tours but neither he nor most of the shop keepers made us feel uncomfortable when we didn’t show interest. The lunch was a Tunisian wrap which e all enjoyed. The car was a people’s carrier and we were a group of 5. Tunisian history is fascinating and Bouhdid’s guidance was very much appreciated. We ended the tour at picturesque Sidi Bou Said. After a drizzly start to the day, we enjoyed a glorious sunset from its viewing point overlooking the bay of Tunis.

        We went on two half-day tours: the one to Mides Canyons, and the Star Wars one. Our guide was Mustafa and he did a spectacular job. He was friendly and knowledgeable, and his English was very good which made communication easy. This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience and it is absolutely worth your time and money. We will be back for more!
