Full-day Guided tour of Tunis

Enjoy a day exploring the marvels of Tunis' historic and cultural discovery with your local guide. Tunis Medina is the quintessential model of a typical Islamic city, vibrant with a maze of narrow alleys crammed with ancient buildings, covered markets that shield it from the scorching sun, public fountains, Koranic schools, arches, and beautiful gates. The Great Mosque of 9th-century origin is one of North Africa’s most significant Islamic buildings. The rest of the day is free for wandering the Medina or relaxing at the hotel. In the evening, a private visit to the Ennejma Ezzahra (Splendid Star), built by master craftsmen in the 1900s as a home for the Baron Rodolphe d’Erlanger, in homage to his passion for the Middle East. It is now a museum and the Centre for Arab and Mediterranean Music. Overnight Tunis.

Udna -Thuburbo - Zaghouane - Kairouan

After breakfast, we will travel overland to Kairouan, visiting the ancient sites of Carthage, Rome, and Islam on the way, highlighting their historic importance. Visit the Roman site of Athina, where you can see several high-quality mosaics in situ. The amphitheater features underground vaulted cells that still echo the sounds of ancient civilizations. Thuburbo Majus is a typical Roman city model, with a colonnaded forum, fine temples, houses, and baths. Explore the old irrigation system unique to this area, a 51 km long aqueduct joining Carthage to Zaghouane, which still stands in glory. This aqueduct is mesmerizing, with its water temple at the natural springs of Zaghouane ostentatiously set over the hill to celebrate the importance that all civilizations of the past have given to water, especially Muslims, who originate from the desert. Overnight in Kairouan.

Kairouan Cultural and Historic Tour

After breakfast, you will meet your Tunisian local guide, who will lead you to explore the marvels of the first Islamic city in North Africa. The morning is spent in Kairouan, with visits to the Medina and the Great Mosque (8th-9th century), as well as other examples of local traditional architecture. The immense colosseum at El Djem could hold 30,000 and is a remarkable sight, towering over its modern surroundings. The small museum nearby contains some exquisite mosaics. On your final night in Kairouan, you are invited to a farewell dinner at a traditional restaurant with live music, marking the culmination of your cultural discovery tour of Tunisia.
