Tunisia Tourism

Tunisia is a country bursting with culture, history, and natural wonders that will captivate any traveler. From hidden cities and stunning beaches to delicious cuisine and epic Sahara adventures, Tunisia has something for everyone. In this blog post, we will explore the top attractions and experiences that make Tunisia a must-visit destination for any traveler.

Hidden Cities

One of the most intriguing aspects of Tunisia is its hidden cities, which are like stepping back in time to another era. The most famous hidden city is undoubtedly Kairouan, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that boasts stunning mosques, ancient walls, and a rich history dating back to the 7th century. Another hidden gem is the medina of Sousse, a maze of narrow streets and vibrant markets that will transport you to a bygone era. And let's not forget the charming village of Matmata, known for its troglodyte homes carved into the cliffs, made famous by the Star Wars movies.

Beaches

Tunisia is blessed with some of the most beautiful beaches in the Mediterranean, attracting sun-seekers from all over the world. The resort town of Hammamet is a popular destination with its white sandy beaches and crystal-clear waters, perfect for swimming and sunbathing. The island of Djerba is another beach paradise, with its palm-fringed shores and laid-back vibe. For a more off-the-beaten-path experience, head to the pristine beaches of Tabarka, where you can relax in peace and quiet.

Food

Tunisian cuisine is a delightful fusion of Mediterranean, Arabic, and African influences, resulting in a tantalizing array of flavors and dishes. One of the must-try dishes is couscous, a staple in Tunisian cuisine that is typically served with a rich stew of meat and vegetables. Another favorite is brik, a savory pastry stuffed with egg, tuna, and parsley, fried to perfection. And don't forget to indulge in some harissa, a spicy chili sauce that adds a kick to any dish.

Culture

Tunisia is a melting pot of cultures, with influences from Phoenician, Roman, Arab, and French civilizations shaping its unique identity. One of the best ways to immerse yourself in Tunisian culture is by exploring the country's vibrant medinas, bustling souks, and historic landmarks. The Bardo Museum in Tunis is a must-visit for history buffs, housing an impressive collection of Roman mosaics and artifacts. And be sure to catch a traditional music and dance performance, such as the lively Tunisian folk dance known as the mezoued.

Sahara Adventures

No trip to Tunisia is complete without experiencing the epic beauty of the Sahara Desert. Embark on a desert safari and ride a camel across the rolling sand dunes, marveling at the vast expanse of the desert landscape. Spend a night under the stars in a traditional Bedouin tent, savoring a delicious desert dinner cooked over an open fire. And if you're feeling adventurous, embark on a 4x4 off-road adventure to explore the remote oases and ancient ruins scattered throughout the desert.

In conclusion, Tunisia is a captivating destination that offers a perfect blend of history, culture, natural beauty, and adventure. Whether you're exploring hidden cities, lounging on pristine beaches, savoring delicious cuisine, immersing yourself in the local culture, or embarking on Sahara adventures, Tunisia has something for every type of traveler. So pack your bags and get ready for the journey of a lifetime in this enchanting North African gem.

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...
