Dépaysant mais épuisant
La journée est longue (départ 7h, retour 20h). Beaucoup de temps dans le bus. Les sites sont magnifiques, mais prévoyez une bonne condition physique.

Guide exceptionnel
Un grand merci à Youssef pour sa gentillesse et ses explications. Il a même improvisé un détour par un marché local. Expérience inoubliable.

Attention à la route
Piste très longue et cahoteuse pour arriver à Ksar Ghilane. Prévoyez des médicaments contre le mal des transports. Le site en vaut la peine cependant.

Bon rapport qualité/prix
Pour le prix, c’est honnête. Véhicule confortable, guide professionnel. La pause à Ksar Ghilane est trop courte pour vraiment profiter de la baignade.

Un vrai voyage dans le temps
Dormir dans une maison troglodyte à Matmata est une expérience unique. Le désert de Ksar Ghilane avec ses dunes est à couper le souffle. Le guide était très cultivé.

Magnifique mais un peu court
Ksar Ghilane est superbe, la source chaude très agréable. Dommage qu’on n’ait eu que 1h sur place. La visite de Matmata était trop rapide à mon goût.

Une journée parfaite entre désert et troglodytes
Excursion très complète : le matin visite des habitations troglodytes de Matmata (impressionnant), l’après-midi baignade dans la source chaude de Ksar Ghilane. Guide sympathique et repas inclus correct. Je recommande !
