Pegase
Pegase is a one-stop shop that seems to have a monopoly on most of the tourist business around the great dune. Of course you could probably arrange things on your own with any of the tour companies, your hotel or one of the freelance guides who will likely introduce themselves to you around town or near the great dune. Most people arrive as part of a large group and everything is prearranged.

It also arranges a three-day tour to the Sahara, but be warned that this will entail a long drive there and back.

Tabarka Golf Club
The Tabarka Golf Club has a fine 18-hole layout. Theoretically you need a handicap of 36 but in practice just having a golf handicap certificate (carte verte in French) is sufficient. Renting a half-series of clubs costs TD7. Reservations, necessary for groups in spring and autumn, can be made by email or fax (summer is the low season here). Three- to seven-day beginners' courses and private lessons (30 minutes costs TD22) are available.
