About this experience
Passionate about my profession for 22 years, and animated by this country in which I was born, I am destined to make you discover our traditions but also give you a different vision of Tunisia, the culture of this country and these landscapes are for me a daily discovery that I would like to share with you! You will especially see a diversity and change of landscape all 35 minutes from the sea to the olive trees we pass through a salt lake we cross the deserts of the pebbles to reach the mountain and we spend a night in the desert of sand.
Culturally, it is very important to see how he lives Berbers in troglodytes and nomads in tents and it will be an opportunity to visit two families and know the origins and see the real local and local life
