Tunisia
Motorcycle tours in Tunisia
The Sahara within reach of your motorcycle: six journeys in Tunisia, from sand training to New Year in the desert.
With Alex Zanotti, Dakar rider, and local guides: dunes, tracks, oases and nights under the stars, with full support throughout the journey.
Why Tunisia
The desert, without travelling too far from Italy
Tunisia is a favourite with riders who want to try desert sand: you can fly to Djerba or take your own motorcycle on a ferry to Tunis–La Goulette, with departures from Genoa, Civitavecchia, Salerno and Palermo, depending on the season and the companies available.
From Djerba our routes cross Matmata with its dwellings carved into the rock, the Chott el-Jérid, Douz, the gateway to the Sahara, the tented camps of Tembaine and the oasis of Ksar Ghilane with its natural hot spring. Nights are spent in hotels and in a tented camp, under a starry sky that is hard to find in Italy.
