Date Place Activities Over Night

Day Douz – Ksar Ghilane z The backdrop for many films including The English Patient. Campout around Ksar Ghilane 5 z Impressive dunes Pansea Hotel & Resorts is a dream tent hotel (List Price €129/double room/night).

** It’s not easy to book it as an individual tourist. It also requires a 4X4 Jeep to reach there. The solution is joining a tour and let the agency arrange it.

** When we join the local 3-day tour which consists of Douz, Ksar Ghilane, Tatouine & Matmata would cost around TD250~300pp, but not staying in Pansea Hotel & Resort of course! The tent could be nice, could be bad. Who knows? The meals might be prepared/cooked by the driver/guide, not in real restaurants. Day Ksar Ghilane – z Arab-berber ksour district Matmata is around TD25/DR (ھTataouine – Matmata z Star Wars films’ location. The detailed info for most backdrop of Star Wars Budget hotel of Troglodyte Home (ާާʡؘ 6 in Tunisia.

z Villages of Chenini, Douiret and Guermessa. If we join the tour, the hotel is included. z Troglodyte houses (Berber houses) z Sidi Driss Hotel was used in 4 movies, including Star War. Some others are Marhala and Les Berberes.

**The 3-day tour consists of Ksar Ghilane, Douz, Tataouine & Matmata is usually around TD250~300. Since we have 4, I would prefer to make a tailor-trip for our own instead of joining a tour group.
