Hi

You can even go to ksar ghilane on tarmac and even get petrol there if you need. Otherwise every 200 km will be a station. Wild camping no problem but also many hotels there.

Have fun, Tobi

Went to Tunisia on a package hol for a laugh with my girlfriend and we hired a petrol Fiesta and drove it down to Ksar Ghilane, mostly Tar but we did thrash it on some unpaved roads taking short/fun cuts, managed to boil the rear shocks. no problem with fuel.
Stay in one of the troglodyte guest houses, it was fun and cheap.
