Sahara Desert Trek

Your last chance to shower will be upon arrival in Tunis on day 1. After this, you won't see any running water until you are back in Djerba on Day 7! Water is scarce while out on the trek and no water will be provided for washing - which makes the warm springs in Ksar Ghilane on Day 7 all the more enjoyable!

This is wild camping - enjoy the privacy of bushes! No toilet tent is provided, but there should be sufficient vegetation to hide!

For this trip, taking sterling cash and changing it locally will be fine. The local currency is the Tunisian dinar, which can be easily obtained on arrival. Tunis and Djerba also have plenty of ATMs in case you need to top up as well.

Please visit the Exodus Travel Guide to Tunisia where you can find out what plugs they use, as well as more detailed Country information in the menu on the left of the page.

You are visiting a predominantly Muslim country, therefore you should dress modestly at all times when visiting cultural sites, and there may also be times when you are asked to 'cover up'. During your trip the tour leader will always advise you on appropriate dress for each day's activities. 

If you are asked to 'cover up', you'll need to cover your shoulders, arms and legs. We recommend packing lightweight trousers or a long skirt, and a long sleeved shirt. Women may also be required to cover their hair with a scarf if entering a mosque or religious quarters.

Jim Eite - Product Manager

Some lightweight walking boots with ankle support would be best, with something comfortable for the evenings. Canvas shoes or even sandals will be fine.
