Tunisia Tourism

Hidden away in North Africa lies a gem waiting to be discovered by travelers from around the world - Tunisia. This stunning country is a treasure trove of culture, history, and natural beauty just waiting to be explored. From its ancient cities to its spectacular beaches, Tunisia has something for every type of traveler.

One of the best things about Tunisia is its hidden cities, which are like something out of a fairytale. Take a trip to the ancient city of Dougga, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and features some of the best-preserved Roman ruins in North Africa. Or explore the charming village of Sidi Bou Said, with its white-washed buildings and blue doors that overlook the Mediterranean Sea. These hidden gems offer a glimpse into Tunisia's rich history and vibrant culture.

But it's not just the cities that make Tunisia special - the country's beaches are also world-class. Whether you're looking to relax on sandy shores or try your hand at water sports, Tunisia has a beach for you. Head to Djerba for its pristine beaches and crystal-clear waters, or check out the bustling resort town of Hammamet for a lively beach scene. With over 800 miles of coastline, Tunisia is a beach-lover's paradise.

And let's not forget about the food. Tunisian cuisine is a mouth-watering fusion of Mediterranean, Arabic, and Berber influences. Sample dishes like couscous, brik (a savory pastry usually filled with egg, tuna, or meat), and tajine (a stew made with meat, vegetables, and spices). Don't miss out on trying the national dish, lablabi, a hearty soup made with chickpeas, garlic, and cumin. And of course, no trip to Tunisia would be complete without sipping on some sweet mint tea or indulging in a plate of fresh dates.

Tunisian culture is as diverse as its cuisine, with influences from the Phoenicians, Romans, Arabs, Ottomans, and French all blending together to create a unique tapestry of traditions. Explore the bustling markets of Tunis, where you can haggle for handmade pottery, intricate carpets, and fragrant spices. Visit the stunning Bardo Museum, which houses one of the world's largest collections of Roman mosaics. Or immerse yourself in the vibrant music and dance scenes that are an integral part of Tunisian culture.

For those looking for a bit of adventure, Tunisia's Sahara desert is the ultimate destination. Take a camel trek into the vast, golden dunes of the Sahara and camp under the starlit sky. Explore the ancient ksour (fortified villages) of the desert, or visit the eerie abandoned sets of Star Wars in Matmata. For thrill-seekers, try your hand at sandboarding down the towering dunes of Douz or take a quad biking tour through the desert.

With its hidden cities, stunning beaches, mouth-watering cuisine, rich culture, and Sahara adventures, Tunisia is a destination that has it all. Whether you're a history buff, a beach bum, a foodie, or an adrenaline junkie, Tunisia has something to offer you. So pack your bags and get ready to explore this hidden gem of North Africa - you won't be disappointed.

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...
