One of the main attractions in Tunisia is its ancient ruins, which bear witness to the rich history of the region. The most famous of these ruins is undoubtedly Carthage, the ancient city-state that once rivaled Rome in power and influence. Visitors to Carthage can explore the ruins of the Punic Wars, marvel at the well-preserved Roman amphitheater, and stroll through the ancient marketplace, known as the Tophet.

Another must-visit ancient ruin in Tunisia is Dougga, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that showcases some of the best-preserved Roman ruins in North Africa. Visitors to Dougga can wander through the well-preserved temples, theaters, and bathhouses, and marvel at the intricate mosaics that adorn the floors of the ancient buildings.

For those looking to delve into the mysteries of hidden cities, Tunisia has plenty to offer. One such hidden city is Ksar Ouled Soltane, a stunning example of a traditional Berber granary. Nestled in the desert, this ancient structure consists of a series of interconnected vaulted chambers that were used to store grain and valuables. Visitors to Ksar Ouled Soltane can explore the maze-like corridors and marvel at the ingenious architecture that has stood the test of time.

In addition to ancient ruins and hidden cities, Tunisia is also home to some of the most beautiful spots in North Africa.

Visitors to Sidi Bou Said can wander through the town's vibrant markets, sip mint tea in one of the traditional cafes, and watch the sun set over the azure waters.

South Of Tunisia

Tozeur is very much a city relying on tourism, but everything is done in a tasteful manner. Early developers understood that it was the traditions and culture that represented the possibilities for the future. While agriculture remains an important income, tourism employs a large part of the 40,000 inhabitants. But it is not only the lifestyle and the specific architecture of Tozeur, that bring tourists out here. The city is well situated at the fringe of the seasonal large lake  Chott el Jerid , allowing visits into the Sahara, as well as to many other smaller settlements. The history of Tozeur goes back a couple thousand years. Through most of its history has been autonomous, and beyond the direct control of Tunisian rulers. With the arrival of the French protectorate, no place in the country resisted new lifestyles and education more than Tozeur. Houses of Tozeur are decorated with rectangular yellow bricks arranged in patterns. The result is one of the most distinct and...

Medina (Ouled Hadef) / Ouled el-Hadef

The Ouled el-Hadef quarter is a district of harmonious appearance built entirely out of brick. The façades of the buildings here are decorated with large geometrical motifs which are reminiscent of tattoos and prints on fabric, an effect created by the way the bricks are placed together. The narrow alleyways, heavy doors and columned porches give Tozeur's old pedestrianised district a distinctly medieval atmosphere. This 14th-century medina has a unique, striking architecture of pale brickwork arranged in relief patterns of endless, rhythmic variation; the easiest way in is from Ave de Kairouan. The families living here come outside to socialise come dusk – strolling at this time is quite special. The medina of Tozeur is basically formed by the neighborhood Ouled el-Hadef, the oldest in the city, which has remained virtually unchanged since the 16 century. It is 50 m from [poi = 160381] Central Market [/ poi], along Av Kairouan. Built in the 14 century to house the Hadef clan, ...

Kairouan

Kairouan  is one site which probably isn’t covered enough by travel agents, especially when you consider the fact that it’s regarded as the fourth most important holy city for Muslims. It also happens to hold the much-coveted UNESCO World Heritage Site tag and anyone who likes to wander through a mixture of history and culture is advised to pay a visit. Kairouan happens to be home of one of the oldest mosques in the country in the form of the Great Mosque of Obka, while it also holds its own Medina which is ideal for those famous Tunisian souvenirs  With mosques, madrassas, and tombs aplenty, Kairouan has more than its fair share of monuments as the fourth most important city for those of the Muslim faith. The Arabic architecture here is truly inspiring and the skyline is full of skinny minarets and bulky domes. But it's probably the back alleys of the city's Medina that steal the show. With narrow maze-like lanes lined with crumbling colourful houses, Kairouan's old tow...
