Enjoy the best of Tunisia

Located at the tip of Northern Africa, and situated between Algeria and Libya, Tunisia boasts incredible scenery, history and ruins dating back to the B.C era.

When you look at a map, you will notice Tunisia’s close proximity to Italy, only slightly separated by the Mediterranean Sea. This proximity has afforded Tunisia an interesting mix of Islamic and Roman cultural influences, a truly unique combination.

Archeologically, Tunisia is full of history. The ancient city of Carthage was amongst the world’s most prosperous cities for its strategic location for sea trading and fertile soil for crops. Explore the ruins found here from the Punic, Roman, Vandal, and Byzantine eras. Head to The Bardo Museum for an extensive collection of mosaics – the largest in the world! Make sure to visit El Djem’s spectacular Coliseum – rivaled only by Rome’s Coliseum. And a visit to the UNESCO World Heritage City of Kairouan to see the beloved Great Mosque of Kairouan, the Medina, and the carpet weavers is a must.

Visit the capital city of Tunis and stay in luxury riads inside the Medina walls, people watch from quaint cafes, explore the exotic spice markets, and get lost in the winding alleyways. Spend a day in the colorful town of Sidi Bou Said overlooking the Mediterranean. It’s cobblestoned streets, artisan galleries, and blue and white houses make it a must stop on any itinerary. Venture out into the Berber communities bordering The Sahara Desert and learn about local culture and customs. Enjoy overnights in the desert to star gaze, relax, and unwind. Tunisia has so much to offer the curious traveler ready to explore!
