Tunisia Tourism
Nestled in North Africa, where the Mediterranean sea meets the vast Sahara desert, lies the hidden gem of Tunisia. This small country boasts a rich history, diverse culture, stunning landscapes, and mouth-watering cuisine, making it a must-visit destination for any traveler.

One of the most intriguing aspects of tourism in Tunisia is the opportunity to explore hidden cities that are steeped in history. Among these is the ancient city of Carthage, once the capital of the Carthaginian Empire and later a Roman colony. Visitors can wander through the ruins of this once-great city, marveling at the well-preserved amphitheater, baths, and temples.

Another hidden gem in Tunisia is the medina of Tunis, the capital city. This UNESCO World Heritage site is a labyrinth of narrow alleyways, bustling souks, and exquisite Islamic architecture. Visitors can get lost in the maze of streets, discovering hidden cafes, artisan workshops, and historical landmarks around every corner.

For those seeking relaxation and sunshine, Tunisia's beaches are a true paradise. From the popular resort town of Hammamet to the laid-back shores of Djerba, there is a beach for every type of traveler. Crystal-clear waters, golden sands, and warm Mediterranean breezes beckon visitors to unwind and soak up the sun.

Of course, no trip to Tunisia would be complete without indulging in the country's delicious cuisine. Tunisian food is a unique fusion of Mediterranean, Arabic, and African flavors, with dishes like couscous, brik, tagine, and mechouia delighting the taste buds of visitors. Street food stalls, traditional cafes, and upscale restaurants offer a variety of dining experiences for every palate.

Beyond the cities, beaches, and food, Tunisia also offers adventurous travelers the opportunity to explore the vast Sahara desert. Guided tours into the desert bring visitors face to face with towering sand dunes, ancient oases, and nomadic Bedouin tribes. Camping under the starry desert sky, camel treks, and off-road dune bashing are just a few of the unforgettable experiences that await in the Sahara.

In addition to its natural beauty and cultural attractions, Tunisia is also a land of warm hospitality and friendly locals. Tunisians are known for their warm smiles, generous hospitality, and willingness to share their customs and traditions with visitors. From bustling cities to remote desert camps, travelers will find a warm welcome wherever they go in Tunisia.

In conclusion, tourism in Tunisia offers a unique blend of history, culture, adventure, and relaxation that is sure to enchant any traveler. Whether exploring hidden cities, lounging on beautiful beaches, savoring delicious cuisine, or embarking on Sahara adventures, visitors to Tunisia are guaranteed an unforgettable experience. So pack your bags, book your tickets, and get ready to discover the magic of Tunisia for yourself.

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...
