Tunisia Tourism

When travelers think of North African destinations, countries like Morocco and Egypt often come to mind. However, one hidden gem that is often overlooked is the beautiful country of Tunisia. From hidden cities to beautiful spots, Sahara adventures to traditional food, Tunisia has so much to offer for those looking to explore off-the-beaten-path destinations.

One of the hidden gems of Tunisia is the city of Kairouan. Known as the fourth holiest city in Islam, Kairouan is a UNESCO World Heritage site that is home to beautiful mosques, stunning architecture, and a rich history that dates back to the 7th century. Visitors can explore the Great Mosque of Kairouan, a masterpiece of Islamic architecture, as well as the Aghlabid basins and the Medina, with its narrow streets and traditional souks.

Another hidden city worth exploring in Tunisia is Dougga. This ancient Roman city is one of the best-preserved archaeological sites in the country, with well-preserved ruins that include a theater, temples, and public baths. Visitors can wander through the ruins and imagine what life was like in ancient times, all while enjoying stunning views of the surrounding countryside.

For those looking for a more adventurous experience, a trip to the Sahara Desert is a must when visiting Tunisia. The vast sand dunes, dramatic landscapes, and stunning sunsets make for an unforgettable experience. Visitors can take a camel trek through the desert, spend a night under the stars in a traditional Bedouin tent, and even try sandboarding down the dunes. It's a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience that should not be missed.

When it comes to traditional Tunisian food, there are plenty of hidden gems to discover. One of the most popular dishes is couscous, a staple of Tunisian cuisine that is typically served with meat, vegetables, and a spicy harissa sauce. Other must-try dishes include brik (a savory pastry filled with egg, tuna, and capers), mechouia (a grilled vegetable salad), and makroud (a sweet pastry filled with dates and nuts).

In addition to its natural beauty and delicious cuisine, Tunisia is also home to a rich and diverse culture that is worth exploring. The country's history is a mix of influences from Arab, Berber, French, and Roman cultures, resulting in a unique and vibrant society. Visitors can learn about Tunisia's history by visiting sites like the Roman amphitheater in El Djem, the Bardo Museum in Tunis, and the medina of Sousse. Additionally, there are plenty of festivals and events throughout the year that showcase Tunisia's music, dance, and art.

Overall, Tunisia is a hidden gem that is just waiting to be discovered. From exploring hidden cities to embarking on Sahara adventures, sampling traditional food to immersing oneself in the country's rich culture, there is something for everyone to enjoy in this North African paradise. So why not consider Tunisia for your next travel destination and experience all that this amazing country has to offer?

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...
