This oasis is fed by a hot spring, which comes from a failed oil drilling in 1953. Instead of finding oil, the drillers discovered a captive water table about 700 meters deep. The water gushes out at a temperature of about 32 ° C and has sulfurous properties. You can swim there and it is famous for its thermal properties. Don't forget your swimsuits if you want to swim there

Ksar Ghilane, the southernmost of Tunisia's oases, is a gateway to the Tunisian Sahara Desert and a popular destination for quad and camel rides. This oasis is fed by a hot spring, which comes from a failed oil drilling in 1953. Instead of finding oil, the drillers discovered a confined water table about 700 meters deep. The water gushes to the surface at a temperature of about 32°C and has sulfurous properties. It is suitable for swimming and is renowned for its thermal properties. Ksar Ghilane is home to about fifty nomadic families who live from date palm cultivation and goat and sheep breeding. It is a place where you can discover the traditional way of life of Saharan nomads. You will have the opportunity to take a camel ride (15€/h) or a quad bike ride (30€/h) to the Roman fort of Tisavar, adding a touch of adventure to your experience.

We had a blast. Our guide Bassel took great care of us and made sure my 9yo son was comfortable the whole day. It is a long day but we made frequent stops for drinks and restrooms. My son wanted to ride quads in the sand dunes of the desert and had a great time. Definitely a highlight to our short stop in Djerba
We booked an island tour with GSA voyage and everything went very well. Very accommodating and super nice, Khaled and Jabrane gave us a very good time. Thanks again
The landscapes are breathtaking from start to finish. The organization by GSA was impeccable: punctual pickup, very good guidance throughout the day, and a knowledgeable, passionate guide who was always available to answer our questions. Lunch at the Ksar Ghilane oasis was very good and the setting was magnificent. We also really enjoyed swimming in the natural hot spring, a very pleasant and refreshing moment. The highlight of the day will undoubtedly remain the quad bike trip in the desert: an incredible experience, with breathtaking landscapes. A memory we are not ready to forget! We 100% recommend this excursion to anyone who wishes to discover the Tunisian desert in the best conditions. Thanks to the entire GSA team for this superb day!
With a friend, we took a day trip from Djerba to Ksar Ghilane to spend 3 hours on a quad in the desert. We are very satisfied with this service. A special mention to our guide Khaled who was truly outstanding: kindness, competence..... On site, the quad guide was also excellent.
Receptive very professional, guide. Very recent 4x4 vehicle quality driver. Their goal is customer satisfaction. One day out Ksar Ghilane, it was perfect. Very involved guide rich in meaning in the explanations we really enjoyed this trip to the Sahara with Quad activities and swimming in the spring all crowned with an excellent couscous lunch after the sports getaways Thanks to Anoir and his team
Very good day excursion in the company of our guide Marmoud who made all to make us discover as best ksar guilane and its surroundings, as well as our driver Nourredine. The only thing to note is that my daughters (17 and 14 years old) were a little cramped in the back of the car.
Great 2-day experience with GSA! We had a great guide (Zou!) and a great driver (Bechir) who picked us up from Tozeur to Khsar Ghilane. We travelled with our 5 year old daughter and everything seemed simple. We will keep a beautiful memory of those days spent in southern Tunisia and look forward to discovering the rest! Thank you!
Great family day from Djerba with guide Mahmoud and our driver Abdel. The organization was perfect from start to finish. The excursion to Ksar Ghilane was really beautiful, between quad biking in the dunes and camel ride. Many thanks to Mahmoud for all his detailed and cultural explanations throughout the day, it was very rewarding. Abdel also ensured a top-notch ride. A complete experience, very well supervised and exotic. I recommend without hesitation!
Accompanied by Mahmoud, Belagacem and Haithem during our stay, what to say except that everything was perfect! A shocking team for an excursion to the top! I highly recommend the experience!
Very nice experience with Mahmoud! Great guide! I recommend .
