A unique Nightscape experience in Tunisia's Dahar region

Sky of the Sahara offers an astrophotography tour in Tunisia focused entirely on photographing the starry sky and capturing nightscapes in the desert.

Far from the cities, beneath a clear, deep sky, every night becomes a rare opportunity for creative photography.

Over the course of five nights of astrophotography under the stars, you’ll find yourself immersed in an environment of absolute silence—the perfect setting for concentration, contemplation, and creativity.
