The tour usually starts with a visit to this impressive Roman ruin. You'll see one of the best-preserved Roman amphitheatres in North Africa, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and an immense structure that once hosted gladiator contests.

You'll travel to the "lunar" landscape of Matmata. The main attraction here is visiting the Troglodyte (Underground) Houses, traditional Berber homes dug into the earth to escape the heat. You'll typically get to step inside one of these unique dwellings.

The day concludes by reaching Douz. This town is often referred to as the "Gateway to the Sahara." Optional Sahara Activities: Upon arrival, travelers usually have the option (at an extra cost) to take a camel ride or a quad bike excursion into the nearby sand dunes to experience the Saharan sunset.
