We spent 3 1/2 weeks in Dec-Jan 2011.
Places we enjoyed:
Desert: for a gentle introduction to the edges of Sahara the area around Douz and Ksar Ghilane are nice. The latter has some nice low dunes heading towards a fort which is 3km away. The Douz - Ksar Ghilane via the dunes is good.
For the "Star Wars" experience: the are west of Tozeur (Chott el-jarrid is nice), Chenni, Medenine and Tatatouine/ksar Ouled Solatane
Culture: Sidibou Said near Tunis
Camping was in general as not easy to find compared to Morocco: even the good one Douz has apparently closed. Bush camping away from desert proper wasn't possible.
Some practical info is in the "For overlanders" section of our website below.
