Day 1 - Unraveling Kebili, the Sahara's Oasis
Kebili, heart of Tunisia's southern Sahara, beckons you. Let's draw back the curtains of sands, shall we? Start your day with a visit to the Kebili Municipal Museum. Imagine, a museum in a desert? It's like finding an oasis in the heart of the Sahara! Next, stop is the Great Mosque of Kebili. Now, brace yourself for the real desert experience: a camel ride through the Douz desert! It's like stepping into a postcard from Aladdin's Agrabah. There's no better way to cap off the day than a majestic Sahara sunset, painted in hues of gold, violet, and everything in between. 'Aren't sunsets beautiful here?' you would echo. The day ends with a stay in a traditional tent – stargazing under the unclouded desert sky. A dream, isn't it?
Day 2 - Savoring the Flavors of Kebili
Day 2 unravels, like a ribbon around a gift, sumptuous Tunisian cuisines that'll dance on your taste buds. Don your aprons as you try hands at traditional Tunisian cooking workshop in a local's home. Isn't it like getting a secret recipe from the desert's heart? Expect to master dishes like couscous, 'brik' and 'lablabi'. The rest of the day is reserved for a leisurely stroll through the bustling Ouled Soultane. Hunt for souvenirs that whisper tales of the Sahara. The day draws to an end with a feast of your own creation under the star-blanketed sky. How often do you get to eat your cake and have it too?

The final day weaves together modernity with antiquity. Day begins with exploring the Old Kebili. Ever fancied walking into an age-old painting? That's how it feels. Visit the centuries-old houses, find solace in the silence of the ancient alleyways. But every ending has a new beginning. Let's traverse to the new downtown of Kebili. A stark contrast to the morning spent in time travel. Experience the hustle-bustle of modern Kebili, cafes, boutiques, and a vibrant nightlife. Sample the city-life in a desert?
