Horse trekking through the Tunisian Sahara

Abderrahim ben Abdelmalek & Wenda Rietveld organize the adventurous, unique trek and meharee through the Tunisian Sahara with horses and packed dromedaries, guided by experienced Bedouins to bring back the old days - when Bedouin cavaliers protected their meharee with their fast horses through the desert. The departure into the desert is from the characteristic village Douz, the gateway to the Sahara. All the supplies, luggage, grain and hay for the horses are carried by dromedaries. Nights are spent under Bedouin tents woven of dromedary wool.

The guides are gentle and polite, they sing, make music with their own instruments like flute and little traditional Bedouin drum.
The cook prepares the meals with fresh organic vegetables and fruit and every day freshly baked bread.
Beautiful highlights will be visited like abandoned villages, a place where sand roses can be found, holy marabouts and water sources and the marvelous ever continuing sand dunes.
The view over the desert is spectacular as well as the experience riding the horses who enjoy going up the dunes as the meditative rhythm of the dromedary.
En RouteThe trek program is unique and you have the possibility to travel with horse riders, friends and family members and children who can travel together with the dromedaries. A guaranteed departure from 4 persons, we have sufficient supplies for groups up to 10.

The trekking circuits can be customized and are open to every reasonable request. Quad driving, exploring the deeper parts of the Sahara by 4x4 are the most obvious possibilities. You can decide to stay a little longer in the desert in a base camp and experience the true meditative part of Bedouin life.
