Light to moderate fitness; able to manage short hikes, vehicle transfers, and walking on uneven terrain.
This private tour typically starts and ends in Tunis with scheduled pickup and drop-off at your central hotel or arranged meeting point.
The camp offers mattress, blankets and basic facilities; it’s comfortable but rustic compared with the 4-star hotel night in Tozeur.
The itinerary is designed to be accessible; there are vehicle transfers between sites and short walks, but discuss mobility needs during booking for tailored arrangements.
Tunisians use the Tunisian dinar. Small tips for guides, drivers and camp staff are appreciated; carry small bills for exchanges in towns.
