OVERVIEW
Motorcycle trips through Tunisia: Enduro tour into the Sahara
Introduction to the Sahara Adventure Trip for Endurance Riders
The Sahara is the largest desert at nine million square kilometers, a seemingly inhospitable yet equally fascinating space. In this Sahara adventure for single-cylinder endurance riders, you have the chance to experience the desert adventure with a group of like-minded individuals and to ride motorcycles in the Sahara par excellence. Certainly, a week is too short for the desert, but it is definitely a good introduction to the adventure of Africa, which is NOT suitable for Enduro beginners! Those with no experience in Enduro off-road should definitely first book the two-week adventure trip to Tunisia with appropriate Enduro and sand training. Since 1999, OVERCROSS® has been known for excellently organized and professionally led motorcycle tours in Tunisia. Today, OVERCROSS® is the specialist for demanding Enduro tours in North Africa. With extensive experience in conducting challenging Enduro tours and expeditions as well as excellent local knowledge of the Tunisian Sahara, OVERCROSS® offers its participants a safe and authentic off-road experience. The tours are accompanied by experienced and certified in-house guides who have extensive technical and athletic riding skills, and are trained in desert navigation, first aid, and emergency management. With professional logistics, expertise, and proven route planning, OVERCROSS® creates extraordinary experiences for ambitious Enduro riders: far from mass tourism and always with the highest safety and quality standards! IMPORTANT: This trip is an adventure tour, where in addition to the Enduro training, we also want to convey a proper portion of adventure, which is why we ask for your understanding in advance that we will make the tour leadership interactive depending on the group dynamics and NOT according to a "schedule" ;-) For all Tunisia motorcycle trips: Here for the overview For all Africa motorcycle trips: Here for the overview
Daily program: Motorcycle travel through Tunisia: Sports enduro adventure
Day 1: Flight from Europe to Tunisia:
As soon as you arrive at the airport, the fun stops! Here the adventure begins! We will pick you up with the donkey cart (or with the support vehicle ;-) ) from the airport and you will ride on the loading area to your motorcycle, which we have already transported to Tunisia. We will go to your motorcycle and after a cup of tea, delicious dinner, it’s off to the sleeping bag in the 1000-star hotel under the open sky between cow, dog, and wolf.
Day 2: Gravel Road and On-road Stage:
On the first long stage, we travel over the Dahr Mountains to the edge of the Sahara. 1000 meters above the Chott el Djerid, we set up camp for the night in a cave. A cup of tea and soup over the open fire. Luxury? ... Not at all! We are at the edge of the desert at the filming location of the movie "The English Patient" - there is nothing here: except for a fantastic nature!

Day 3: On the enduros towards the desert.
Via the Rommel piste, we reach an outcrop of the Chott el Djerid salt lake with the enduros. It gets hot and exciting at Han Solo's landing station. Behind the scenes of "Star Wars," the sun shimmers. We start with sand driving training. In flat terrain, we familiarize ourselves with the first basics of sand driving: proper acceleration, shifting, and braking.

Day 4: Enduro - Training day in the desert.
The right steering, accelerating, drifting, and the feel for power as well as one's own inadequacy are just as important learning factors as reprogramming habits. Gaze direction and posture are the essential points on today's day of fears. The eye for the line at 70%, the mobility on the motorcycle, and steering with the throttle will be taught and experienced today in the fundamentals. It goes uphill: The first dunes are 30 centimeters high, the last 30 meters!

Day 5: Your footprints in the sand.....
Enduro romance is when you blast through an endlessly seeming salt lake like a madman in scorching heat. Before the trip, you were reasonable and wouldn't have gone over 30 km/h here, let alone while standing. Keeping the throttle steady and shifting your balance correctly is today’s training session and also the day’s stage. We cover the last kilometers to the camp in civilization on the road.
Day 6: Rock & Roll over the dunes of the Sahara
Rüdi, also called "no fence" on a later tour, can tell many long stories about this day, during which almost all participants will reach their personal limits.... It goes through the large dune field on trails and marked paths across the Tunisian Sahara. The bath in the oasis is the ideal place to round off the day and relax the muscles a little again.
Day 7: The Enduro Day:
Riding over sandy fields, pistes, and roads through the Dahar mountains, we travel from early morning to sunset back into civilization to the hotel by the sea. The last evening, as experience shows, will be celebrated by washing down the desert dust at the bar!
Day 8: Last day of vacation & return flight
We load the motorcycles back onto the trailer and the guide makes his way home. Here, our paths temporarily part. We will see each other again a few thousand kilometers away next weekend at OVERCROSS in Germany, where you will get the motorcycles back. Individual return flights for all participants. A final look at Tunisia before the plane leaves the African continent behind. Now everyone has a few hours to reflect on their experiences.
