This immersive 14-day tour through Tunisia invites you to explore the country's rich history, vibrant culture, and diverse landscapes—from ancient ruins to oasis towns and Mediterranean shores.

Continue to the legendary ruins of Carthage, a city that once rivaled Rome, and stroll through the enchanting blue-and-white village of Sidi Bou Said, perched above the sea. Journey inland to discover remarkable Roman sites such as Dougga (a UNESCO World Heritage Site), the Colosseum of El Djem, and the spiritual city of Kairouan, one of the holiest cities in Islam. Travel south toward the Sahara Desert to explore the stunning palm-lined oases of Tozeur, the vast salt lake of Chott El Jerid, and the golden dunes surrounding Douz, often called the “Gateway to the Sahara.” In Matmata and Tataouine, experience life in traditional Berber cave dwellings and explore unique ksars—ancient fortified granaries—that also served as filming locations for the Star Wars saga. Visit Ksar Ouled Soltane, Chenini, and Ksar Haddada, where history and film fantasy blend into a surreal desert backdrop. Cross to the island of Djerba, rich in Jewish heritage and Mediterranean charm. Visit the historic La Ghriba Synagogue, stroll through local markets, and relax by the sea. Discover the island’s natural wonders, including the flamingo sanctuary, and experience the island’s blend of cultures and traditions. Continue northward along the Tunisian coast to explore Gabes, with its palm-covered coastline; the art-inspired village of Mahres; the whitewashed seaside town of Mahdia; and the bustling city of Sousse, known for its Medina, ancient ramparts, and vibrant souks. Throughout this two-week adventure, you’ll be immersed in the sights, sounds, and flavors of Tunisia—tasting local dishes, shopping in colorful markets, and experiencing the warmth of Tunisian hospitality. This comprehensive tour offers a perfect blend of archaeology, culture, nature, and relaxation—ideal for curious travelers seeking to connect with the heart of North Africa.
