Day 3 : Matmata – Tataouine – Chenini – Djerba (300 Km – 6 Hrs)
Location: Djerba
Accommodation Name: Hotel Miramar Aqua Resort or similar 4*
Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
This day is all about discovering the Berber culture. After breakfast, you will be picked up at around 8 am. You will start with Tataouine, the capital of the Berber Region in the South of Tunisia. To understand the Berbers culture, it is important to note their purpose behind living. As the originals of the country, having been there since the beginning and before any other civilization had arrived and started invading their regions, the Berbers used the South and central areas to escape from the Romans, then from the Carthaginians, then from the Arab civilizations that followed. They mostly chose remote areas from where the invaders would sail, and high altitude locations, where they built their habitations, usually in-ground and in a strategic place from which they can see their attackers approaching. There are about 150 Berber Ksours between Matmata, Tataouine and Chenini. Ksours, plural of Ksar, are what the Berber called their habitations. Most of these sites are only accessible by 4-wheelers for they are perched on ridges like Chenini’s Ksours and hanging on hillsides like the Old Guermassa. Some of these Ksours were even used for the filming of the Star Wars movies such as the ones in Ksar Haddada, made of 380 ghorfas, rooms, located on the same level. After lunch in a local restaurant in Tataouine you will head to Djerba at about 6 pm, for check in. Dinner will be served in the hotel.
Overnight in Djerba.

Enjoy your breakfast in the hotel and be ready for the pick up at around 8 am. You will start this day in the Berber village of Guellala, from the Berber name Iquallalen, meaning potteries and renowned for pottery making, an activity practiced since centuries and defining the main economic base for the locals then and until the present day. After lunch, you will move into a different culture located in Djerba, and equally significant for its history, in the Jewish hood, the center of which is the Synagogue of El Ghriba located in the village of Erriadh. 20 synagogues were once present in Erriadh, one of which is today a site of pilgrimage for many visitors from all over the world. The synagogue is a modest building when seen from the outside, but has a fascinating interior, richly decorated by colorful windows and tiles and authentic and very well preserved furniture. It is most fascinating to know that today Djerba is home to around 1400 Jewish people, living in harmony on the island along with Muslims, reunited under the Tunisian patrimony. Return to your hotel at 6 pm.

The site attracts thousands of local and international visitors for its magnificent architectural and spiritual value. After a walk through the Medina of Kairouan, and a glimpse at the local life, a taste of Tunisian freshly made pastry and a touch of the authentic carpets, you will head to the Mausoleum of Sidi Sahbe. This complex stands outside the medina, on the site of the tomb of one of the Prophet’s companions, Abu Zama'a al-Balawi, known as Sidi Sahbi. It includes a mausoleum, a madrasa and several rooms.
