The objective is to highlight the assets of the Tunisian South and to create a momentum for tourism and culture in the region. Beyond a simple stay, the experience « The Electronic Dunes » is the opportunity to live a true immersion at the heart of the Tunisian desert, to live an intense and timeless moment, a mirage at the doors of the Sahara. From February 21th to 24th, the Tunisian and foreign festival-goers will gather around values and simple emotions, (re)discover the customs and local traditions, all of it in a festive setting. During three days, the festival will present higgledy-piggledy an evening event dedicated to the reading of Tunisian stories and legends, a big night within the setting of Star Wars where the best artists of the international music scene will be invited and a pool-party accompanied by a tasting session of regional dishes. Thanks to the support of the Ministry of Tourism and to some agreements with tourism professionals (hotels, airlines, …), the festival proposes all-inclusives holidays from Paris, Lyon and Nice. The Electronic Dunes, it’s the opportunity for Tunisia, host of the festival, to offer a unique vision of its heritage, while receiving an international media coverage. I 3 73 I 55 ‫الغـزالــــة‬
