Travel to Tunisia, a kaleidoscope of Cultures and Landscapes! On our Tunisia tour we enjoy the Sahara Desert, Mediterranean Sea, Archaeological Sites, UNESCO World Heritage Sites, Berber Culture, Arab and European Architecture…and French speaking people!
On the Tunisia tour we visit Sidi-Bou-Saïd, the best-preserved Moorish village in Tunisia. It is a MUST for travelers, photographers and writers.
Embark on a tour of Carthage, built on a promontory with sea inlets to the north and the south. The city’s location made it master of the Mediterranean’s maritime trade. All ships crossing the sea had to pass between Sicily and the coast of Tunisia. This is where Carthage was built, affording it great power and influence.
In addition, there is an excursion to Bizerte and Utica (Roman-Carthaginian towns) and the most prestigious Roman site in Tunisia, Dougga (UNESCO).
Continuing to Kairouan, (UNESCO World Heritage Site), once the Arab capital for all of North Africa. It is one of Islam’s most sacred cities.
