ess than three hours flight from London and with a Mediterranean climate, Tunisia is a gentle introduction to North Africa. This trip takes us from the Mediterranean to the Sahara via the troglodyte caves of Matmata and the Chott el Djerid Salt Lake, appearing mirage-like against the sand. Tunisia has often been the setting for Hollywood films and we visit the cave hotel used as a film set for the original Star Wars. Beyond, the colossal dunes of the Sahara stretch as far as the eye can see. A camel trek and sleeping amongst the dunes are highlights of this trip.
