Camel Ride

Enjoy a memorable camel ride through farmland the picturesque huge olives trees and old fashion building in the middle of farmland.

It was breath taken and I said to myself "clam down he/she won’t kick you". In fact, there were two people assisted me in order to get me on camel’s back; and how it worked: two people held one of my each leg, and I was push onto it. It was like to sit on the Double Decker, that was high and was in a very good view.

It was a 3 hours return journey excluded the time when was collected from the hotel. It was a great opportunity to see elsewhere rather than the city, as well as how the living style was in the old day in Tunisia. The trip also offered a traditional Tunisian Quick Lunch, which were home-made bread, tomato and olive oil. Actually, I found it was very healthy eating, as they spread olive oil first on the bread and placed a few slices of tomato inside the bread. The bread was like a Naan Bread, crispy on the surface and very soft inside.

What to wear on the day: casual (trousers is better) with trainer and dress according to the weather for that day. It is recommended you take a sunhat, sunglasses and a bottle of water. It may be a good idea if you do not wear fragrance on the day, as it may irritate camels.
