Tembaine

Mountain Douz, Kebili, Tunisia

What to expect

Tembaine is a small town in southern Tunisia, located in the vast expanse of the Sahara Desert. The town is known for its historic ksar, a fortified village with narrow alleyways and courtyards designed to protect inhabitants from the harsh desert climate. Visitors can explore the ancient mud-brick structures and experience the traditional way of life in the Tunisian desert. Tembaine is also a great starting point for desert adventures, such as camel treks, off-road tours, and visits to nearby oases. The surrounding region offers a unique landscape of sand dunes, palm groves, and salt expanses, with opportunities for trekking, 4x4 excursions, and extreme sports. Families can enjoy the local cuisine, including traditional Berber dishes such as couscous and desert bread, and experience the hospitality of the nomadic people who inhabit the region
