Ride camels at dusk, help set up your tent, share wood-fire couscous and mint tea with welcoming locals, then gather around the campfire under a 5-billion-star sky. Wake to fresh coffee and baked bread before trekking back. This is true desert magic and total disconnection. Come as you are! You will be in good hands.

Lovely Sahara Experience
The booked 'Bivac Night in the Desert' was impossible due to a sand storm, so Dunes Insolites offered us a luxourious tent in their camp instead and arranged for evening and morning camel rides into the desert. Hotel pickup worked great, with a friendly and knowledgeable driver. Very beautiful Sahara camp, great and authentic experience, delicious food, iconic camel rides. But above all, incredibly friendly and calm people and outstanding hospitality. Highly recommended!

Cool Desert Experience
The night in the desert experience was excellent. You got to ride a camel for 2 hrs into an area with bigger sand dunes led by an experienced guide. We helped set up camp and our guide made a delicious vegetable stew (with camel meat if you want). I tried it. Very chewy. We had a good sleep in the tent and the next morning we had a light breakfast with bread our guide made over the fire. We had a shorter trip back on the well behaved dromedaries (camels have 2 humps). It can be hot at the start of the tour so not sure about the summer months for this trip. Our guide was excellent. Do it.

Great service even greater people
The experience was amazing and worth every penny, the south of Tunisia is a must see and spending a night in the desert is a must do

Great experience with welcoming sahara locals
My friend booked this experience for us, and it ended up being one of the most memorable I can recall. The people were welcoming and it never felt like a business transaction, it turns out that’s just how they always welcome strangers. The dinner was delicious, but cooking it the traditional way was even better. The camel ride was smooth and enjoyable. The best part for me was seeing the stars from the middle of the Sahara, with no lights nearby, it was magical. I wouldn’t recommend this for travelers who prefer luxury, but I would definitely recommend it to anyone seeking authentic experiences and wanting to live like locals.

A Hidden Gem!
This was one of the first travel experiences I lived with WildyNess and was by far one of the most remarkable one! Arriving to the desert camp and getting to know the ex-nomads and spending a night with them in the desert was culturally very enriching. The camp (including the car parking) is very safe. The staff are so friendly, kind, and caring! I lived this experience with my life, and it was a great opportunity to disconnect, enjoy the quiet of the Sahara and the bright stars at night. I would definitely try it again!
