Travel to Tunisia

The capital city of Tunis has everything to make your vacation unforgettable: from interesting historical sights to perfect shopping options. It should be said that the city centre is divided in two distinct quarters: the old Arab medina, famous for its Zeytouna Mosque, founded by Arabs in the 8th century and the Ville Nouvelle (new town), created in colonial times by the French, and nowadays known for the elegant avenue Habib Bourguiba, with its well-kept palm trees, café-terraces and patisseries. Going outside Tunis, the tourists can visit the Bardo museum, which houses the richest collection of Roman mosaics along with other bronze and steelwork artifacts from different parts of Tunisia. No one can avoid the trip to a wealthy Phoenician-Roman city of Carthage, located at the suburbs of the capital. Kerbouane is one of Tunisia’s most significant sites of historical interest. This UNESCO World Heritage site offers the tourists to explore remains of what was once an entire Punic city. Coming to Dougga, the history fans won’t be disappointed, as they will find a Libyco-Punic mausoleum, some monumental arches, temples, and several exceptionally well preserved houses. In Bulla Regia there’s also a worth seeing collection of Roman houses.

Tunisia is sometimes called the Mediterranean paradise, as it is considered to be a perfect resort get-away for the regular sun-and-sea vacationers. Do not miss the crystalline beaches of Sidi Bou Said, have some more spare time, than head on to Lake Ichkeul, an ideal spot for birdwatchers, as it is a home to flamingos, herons, egrets and storks. One more must-visit is Hamman Mellegue with its famous hot springs, dating back to the Roman era. If you are eager to open the last best-kept secret of Tunisia, go to Mahdia, the home to Tunisia’s last unspoiled beach. The Saharan desert can be a wonder to behold but go to the laidback oasis Tatouine which is famous for getting a location inside the Star Wars movie or take a thrilling trek across the sandy plains of Douz on the camel’s back.
