From Tunis: Overnight to Kairouan, El Jem, Monastir & Sousse

1. From Tunis: Overnight to Kairouan, El Jem, Monastir & Sousse

Depart Tunis for Kairouan in an air-conditioned van and explore last two 9th-century Aghlabite Basins which were among the greatest waterworks of the Middle Ages. Proceed to the 7th-century Great Okba Mosque, the oldest mosque in North Africa. Nearby is the Mosque Sidi Sahbi (Mosque of the Barber), known for its minaret and beautifully tiled courtyards. Walk through the hustle and bustle of the medina (old city) and take a picture of the camel at "Bir Barrouta." Enjoy lunch on your own and free time to explore the medina.  Regroup and travel approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes to El Jem and admire its monumental amphitheater. Built in the mid-3rd-century AD, it is the largest Roman monument left in Africa, and ranks 3rd in the Empire after those of Rome and Verona. One of the last large amphitheaters built during the Roman era, its architectural design is an improvement over that of the Colosseum of Rome. After the tour, continue to a guesthouse for dinner and overnight.  The following day, enjoy breakfast in the hotel before travelling 40 km to Mahdia. Visit the Skifa Kahla, a massive fortified gate that survives the original Fatimid city, and spend time exploring the souk (market). Regroup and travel 1 hour and 15 minutes to Monastir to visit its grand cemetery where Habib Bourguiba, Tunisia’s first president, was put to rest.  In Monastir, admire the old Ribat (fortress) which has been used as a location for films such as "Life of Brian" and "Life of Christ." Eat lunch in a local restaurant before travelling 20 km to Sousse. Wander through labyrinthic streets to visit the Grand Mosque, the Ribat, and the Dar Esid, a Tunisian Family House museum. Along with its enchanting medieval Islamic history, Sousse wears another hat as a modern resort filled with hamams and beautiful beaches. Visit the El Kantaoui port before meeting the driver for the return transfer to Tunis.

From Tunis: Full-Day Cape Bon Tour

2. From Tunis: Full-Day Cape Bon Tour

NABEUL: -After pickup from your hotel, start your tour with a visit to the Archeological museum of Nabeul. Also known as Neapolis in ancient times. City of Nabeul famous for its colorful pottery and bustling weekly market (Friday mornings). Tours of local ceramics manufacturers can be interesting and worth a look at the massive kilns. Make no mistake about it, though; these tours are thinly veiled attempts to encourage tourists into the showrooms. Much of the same thing can be found in each store. KELIBIA: - This quiet fishing town continues to survive mainly on its fishing fleet and as a service center for the surrounding farmland. The fabulous old fort overlooking the harbor has nearly 2500 years of history contained within its walls. KERKOUANE: - Kerkouane’s small museum displays the beautiful Punic jewelry made of gold and other precious metals, as well as other artifacts. Kerkouane is the first Carthaginian site in Tunisia to produce more than a few funerary objects. HAOUARIA: - During the Roman era, sandstone blocks were quarried from the length of the coast to build Carthage and other nearby Roman towns. The interconnected Haouaria caves are the most picturesque of these grottoes

From Tunis: Day Trip to Beja, Testour and Dougga with Lunch

3. From Tunis: Day Trip to Beja, Testour and Dougga with Lunch

In the vicinity of Beja, a few kilometers to the east of the region, lies the village of Testour. This small village is the best witness of the Andalusian occupation for certain regions of Tunisia. Here, between the alleys, you will feel a strong Andalusian presence that manifests itself in the urbanistic composition, the Western architectural style, and the crafts still exercised in the village. The next stop of the day will be the archaeological site of Dougga. The World Heritage Site of Ancient Thugga is a Roman archaeological site in Tunisia. An Area of 60 hectares offers both a beautiful landscape of plains that extend on the flanks of the surrounding hills and ruins of Punic, Numidian, Roman and Byzantine monuments that tell you the story of an ancient city as well. Before the end, a little to the north-west of Téboursouk, on the flanks of Jebel Ghorra, the park of Djebba was arranged to facilitate you the hike. Take time to admire the waterfall and take pictures in the wilderness with breathtaking panoramic mountain scenery.
