How do I get there?

A regular car can reach the camp; you don’t need a 4x4. The nearest airports are Tozeur-Nefta (TOE) and Djerba-Zarzis (DJE). See getting to Sabria.

Is this the same as a Ksar Ghilane tour?

No. Ksar Ghilane is a different oasis. Sabria is near Douz, in the Kébili region, on the edge of the Grand Erg Oriental.
