What to expect
Ksar Ghilane is a Tunisian oasis, archaeological site, and town located in the Kebili region of Tunisia. It is situated on the eastern limit of the Grand Erg Oriental and is known for being the most southerly of the Tunisian oases and one of the gates of the Tunisian Sahara desert. The oasis is fed by a hot spring with alleged thermal virtues, making it a popular destination for tourists. Visitors can enjoy various activities such as ATV quad biking, motorcycling, horseback riding, or camel trekking on dromedaries. The oasis also features several campsites, a luxury hotel, and a guest house, offering accommodations for tourists. The area is rich in history, with the ruins of the Roman castellum Tisavar, which was built under Emperor Commodus, and a commemorative stele celebrating the presence of the French army in 1943. Ksar Ghilane is also home to a natural hot spring, where visitors can bathe and relax
