A seven-day separately reserved licensed-driver journey from Tunis and Carthage through Sousse, Kairouan and El Jem to Tozeur. The baseline ends with the public oasis city; mountain-oasis loops, border approaches, desert tracks, animals, film-set excursions and provider activities remain optional.
Carthage to the Sahara's Edge is a 500 km one-way journey (staffed road transport). It works best as a 7-day trip; the plan below is the 7-day version for April, built from 120 verified places, with planned transit times, opening hours and daylight checked.
