Horse & Camel Rides in Sousse

El Jem is about 65 km away, roughly 50 minutes by car, and Kairouan about 56 km. Most of the day trips we list take 8 to 10 hours, with hotel pickup in Sousse, Port El Kantaoui or Monastir, so you can see both in a day without rushing. The El Jem amphitheatre alone fits into a half-day tour. Tunis is about 144 km away, which is a very long day trip.

Not as a day trip. Sousse has no desert of its own, and all 8 Sahara tours on our list last two or three days, from €94. They usually include Douz, Tozeur or Matmata and mostly a night in a desert camp. Many of them start in Tunis or Hammamet and collect guests in Sousse on the way, so check the pickup time on the booking page.

Swimming season runs roughly from June to September. The sea is around 25 to 27 °C in July and August, and August is the warmest month. In summer it is hot and dry, which suits the beach but not a long day trip to El Jem or Kairouan in the midday heat, so choose an early start. We do not hold more detailed monthly figures in our data.

Our listing has 24 quad tours, most of them 1.5 to 3.5 hours with hotel pickup, to Flamingo Lake, a salt lake or through olive groves. We do not hold age, licence or weight rules in our data, so we cannot say whether a given tour suits beginners or children. Those rules are stated on each booking page. Read them before you pay.

Monastir is the closer one, about 14 km from Sousse. Enfidha is about 48 km away, more than 40 minutes by road. If your flight allows a choice, Monastir usually means the shorter transfer. Many tours collect at the hotel, so you do not need a rental car for the excursions we list.

You book through our partner GetYourGuide. Each tour has its own conditions, including cancellation terms, which are shown on its booking page before you pay. Read them for the tour you choose, since they differ between offers. Prices on our site are as of October 2026 and may change.
