Tunisia Tourism

When it comes to unforgettable travel experiences, Tunisia is a hidden gem that promises boundless adventure and discovery. From its ancient ruins to its stunning coastline, this North African country boasts a rich history and vibrant culture that will leave you in awe. And if you're looking for a truly unique and unforgettable experience, look no further than desert camping in Tunisia.

The Tunisian desert is a vast, mesmerizing landscape that stretches for miles, offering visitors the chance to experience the magic and mystery of the Sahara up close. Imagine sleeping under a blanket of stars, surrounded by endless dunes and the silence of the desert. This is the beauty of desert camping in Tunisia – a chance to disconnect from the modern world and immerse yourself in the natural beauty of this awe-inspiring land.

One of the most popular destinations for desert camping in Tunisia is the town of Douz, also known as the "gateway to the Sahara". Located at the edge of the vast Grand Erg Oriental desert, Douz is the perfect base for exploring the dunes and experiencing the thrill of dune bashing, camel riding, and sandboarding. The town itself is a charming oasis with traditional mud-brick buildings and bustling markets where you can shop for souvenirs and try delicious local cuisine.

For those looking for a more off-the-beaten-path experience, consider visiting the hidden city of Matmata. This unique underground Berber village is famous for its cave dwellings, which were featured in the Star Wars films as the home of Luke Skywalker. Today, you can explore the underground homes, visit a traditional Berber house, and learn about the way of life in this fascinating desert community.

Of course, no trip to Tunisia would be complete without a visit to the stunning coastal town of Sidi Bou Said. Perched on a cliff overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, this picturesque village is known for its whitewashed buildings, blue doors, and stunning sea views. Take a stroll through the cobblestone streets, shop for local crafts, and enjoy a cup of mint tea at one of the many charming cafes.

When it comes to food, Tunisia offers a tantalizing array of flavors and dishes that will delight your taste buds. Sample traditional dishes like couscous, brik (a deep-fried pastry filled with eggs and tuna), and mechouia (grilled vegetable salad) at local restaurants and cafes. Don't forget to try the Tunisian national dish, brik a l'oeuf, a savory pastry filled with eggs, parsley, and harissa.

In addition to its natural beauty and delicious cuisine, Tunisia is a country rich in history and culture. Explore ancient ruins like the Roman amphitheater of El Djem, the UNESCO World Heritage site of Carthage, and the Kairaouine Mosque in Kairouan, one of the oldest and most important mosques in North Africa. Stroll through the narrow streets of the medinas in Tunis and Sousse, where you can shop for traditional handicrafts, textiles, and pottery.

In conclusion, Tunisia is a destination that offers a wealth of experiences for the adventurous traveler. Whether you're looking to immerse yourself in the beauty of the desert, explore hidden cities, or dive into the rich culture and history of this fascinating country, Tunisia has something to offer everyone. So pack your bags, grab your camera, and get ready for the adventure of a lifetime in Tunisia.

South Of Tunisia

By
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

By
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

By
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...
