Discover Tunisia
Tunisia offers North Africa on a human scale—Carthaginian ruin, Sidi Bou Said blue-and-white, Sahara gates without Morocco's peak crush, Mediterranean coast where Arab, Berber, and French notes blend.
Carthage's Roman baths overlook the sea; Tunis medina artisans work leather and perfume. Sidi Bou Said's cliff village catches light at every turn. El Jem's amphitheatre rivals Rome; Douz opens camel tracks into sand. Djerba's synagogues and beaches add Jewish heritage and island calm. Brik, couscous, harissa—cuisine as archaeology. A week can cross temple, desert camp, and beach without hurry.
