Tour description:

Desert adventure with lots of driving fun

After our ferry crossing from Genoa to La Goulette / Tunis, we spend a night in a very good hotel in Tunis or Hammamet before heading directly to the south of the country via the highway to Es Sabria, where we fill our vehicles and canisters with fuel for the last time before embarking on the great adventure of “Sif es Souane”. Endless dune landscapes await us, which demand everything from us and our vehicles.

The start of our journey takes us through the fine sand dune landscapes of the Sablazett. Sand as white and fine as powdered sugar welcomes us at the start of this magnificent ten-day ride on the dunes.

Over the next few days, our route is determined by the course of the dunes. We are only given a rough direction… we are drawn further and further south. Our days are characterized by finding the best way through endless sand hills. Our journey is like surfing on waves of sand. There is no predetermined route. Pure driving fun! On the way, with a bit of luck, we meet Algerian desert nomads with their camels and learn about their way of life in this endless sea of sand and rubble, which is so unknown to us.

What our customers say about the tour:

Sahara

Sif es Souan – Les Grandes Dunes de Tunisie

We were with the team from NPL Overland in the depths of the Tunisian Sahara. Tour. You Souane – Desert Extreme. Perfectly organized tour, excellent food, far away from the normal tourist crowds, but not a tour for desert newcomers. 5 points for this!

Pure driving pleasure

Sif es Souan – Les Grandes Dunes de Tunisie

Pure desert. Driving fun without end. Together with the great group, everything fits for a full 5. More of this would be nice

Pure desert, driving fun and adventure included

Sif es Souan – Les Grandes Dunes de Tunisie

Everything was perfect on this trip! Miracles included! A challenging route that demanded a lot from the drivers and vehicles. We reached the finish together and raised the flag! Thanks to the team for the excellent organization and support. Thanks again to everyone who helped with the repairs. Especially Abdul, because without his spare part our HDJ80 would probably have remained in the Sahara. See you soon – we could be on the road again right away.

Therapeutic effect guaranteed…

Sif es Souan – Les Grandes Dunes de Tunisie

A big thank you to everyone who was involved, i.e. Nils, Walid and the locals for the great tour to the highest dunes in Tunisia. Thumbs up to us, the participants, too… we were a cool bunch. This also explains the incredible achievement that we accomplished. After 3 attempts, we made it to the “summit cross” as a guided group with vehicles. Super! In addition to the aforementioned therapeutic effect of the ups and downs, I will always remember the group dynamics, the great locations along the routes (or off the beaten track) and the last meal at the camp. A real feast. Top and highly recommended!
