Tour Highlights

Tour Itinerary

From Berber villages and awesome historical architecture to spectacular rocky gorges, Tunisia’s enchanting blend of European sophistication and Arabian exoticism awaits you. Start your Tunisian vacation in Tunis, Tunisia’s capital. From Tunis, it’s on to the medina and mosque of Sousse, where Phoenicians, Romans, Byzantines, and Arabs who settled in this city have left their mark. Then head to the old town of Monastir and impressive El Djem, a UNESCO World Heritage Site featuring the remains of a 3rd-century Roman Colosseum that originally seated 30,000. Then on to Sfax on the Gulf of Gabes, Tunisia’s second-largest city. At Matmata, see the incredible underground troglodyte village used in the original Star Wars movie and then the salt lake of Chott El Jerid, an important oasis on the ancient caravan route between Algeria and Tunisia. Be enthralled with the ‘Red Lizard’ train through the spectacular gorges of Selja before visiting the Roman ruins at Sbeitla. After the Grand Mosque at Kairouan, your Tunisian vacation includes a two night stay in Tunis with opportunities to visit Carthage, Sidi-Bou-Said, and the famous Bardo museum. Finally, head to Hammamet for a seven-night stay. Relax on the beach, sit by the hotel’s pool, or partake in one of the many optional excursions available. This tour—Tunisian Adventure—features ancient cities, natural beauty, and warm hospitality. What a vacation!

Day 3: Mon. TUNIS–SOUSSE–MONASTIR–EL DJEM–SFAX.
This morning, drive to Sousse, known as the “Pearl of the Sahel” and blessed with a mild climate. Phoenicians, Romans, Byzantines, and Arabs who settled in this beautiful fertile city have left their imprint. Walk through the medina with its tiny, colorful shops and bustling with local activity, and enjoy a visit to the mosque. Leave Sousse and head towards Monastir, a city nestled in the shade of its walls. Here, visit the Old Town. Then we head for El Djem. This impressive UNESCO World Heritage Site features the remains of an imposing 3rd-century Roman colosseum that originally seated 30,000. Today’s destination is Sfax on the Gulf of Gabes, a former Barbary pirate stronghold and now Tunisia’s second-largest city. (B,D)

Follow the twisting road and stop in Tamezret, a complete contrast to Matmata and featuring stone houses and streets lined with high walls.

Day 6: Thu. TOZEUR–RED LIZARD TRAIN–GAFSA–SBEITIA–KAIROUAN.
