Introduction

Ksars Ghilane is a famous oasis camp and hot spring destination at the edge of Tunisia's Sahara. Featuring natural hot desert springs, stunning Saharan dune scenery, camel riding and desert camping — one of Tunisia's most popular Sahara destinations. The natural hot mineral spring emerges in the desert center (~30-35°C year-round), perfect for bathing especially on cool desert nights. Golden Saharan dunes surround the oasis — camel riding is the classic way to experience them. Bedouin-style tent camps offer traditional desert stays with spectacular night skies. Nearby Roman fortress ruins are also worth visiting. Visiting for hot springs, camel rides and stargazing in the Sahara is an unforgettable Tunisia experience.
