Tunisia

There is so much to discover in every corner of Tunisia: contrasting landscapes, a 1,250 km coastline dotted with islands and archipelagos, diverse traditions and customs, and a rich historical heritage. One can take the road towards Tabarka for its white sandy beaches and its seabed hiding precious red coral. Nature lovers will head to northern Tunisia, with its wild coves, forests, and wheat fields. Two UNESCO World Heritage sites, the Roman city of Dougga and the Ichkeul Natural Park, rub shoulders with Bizerte, sentinel on the Mediterranean. In the heart of the capital, Tunis, the medina hides wonders among souks, museums, and picturesque alleyways. Still to the north, a stop at Carthage, glorious ancient city, and to Sidi Bou Said, a charming village dressed in white and blue, is a must for any Tunisian journey. In the middle of a steppe landscape. Kairouan, holy city and first capital of the Maghreb, offering a richly decorated Great Mosque. On the east coast, facing Sfax, les Kerkennah Islands reveal long stretches of fine sand, promising blissful idleness. Southern Tunisia is not to be outdone, initially with Djerba, a small island surrounded by turquoise waters that has fascinated people since the time of Homer. Next, because the region is home to Tozeur, one of the most beautiful oases in the country with a splendid palm grove. Finally, the traveller approaches the gates of the desert in the region of Douz and of Tataouine, where you can admire desert panoramas dotted with Berber villages and Saharan dunes.
