Venture across the vast salt lake, Chott el Jerid, to discover Kebili and Douz, the ‘Gateway to the Sahara.’ Start with a crossing of the salt lake, which appears like an endless white desert, then visit the traditional old town of Kebili. In Douz, explore the bustling market filled with local handicrafts and desert essentials. Continue to the impressive dunes of Zaafrane, where you’ll see sand as far as the eye can see. The day includes stops at Noueil and the picturesque sand-covered villages, finishing with a scenic return to Tozeur via the fascinating petrified dunes of Debebcha.
