Tunisia is a land of contrasting beauty, where the Sahara Desert beckons you, the ancient cities lie in wait for your adventurous exploration and the sands along its long, gentle coast await your footprints. Whether you wish to relax & be pampered or have a historic adventure, Tunisia has everything you need for a memorable holiday.
Tunis Medina, the 12th Century old town, is a site not to be missed. It is a UNESCO world heritage site and home to bustling souks, a maze of colourful streets, as well as the revered Zitouna Mosque, where worshippers have been called to prayer for more than one thousand years.
The town is enclosed by ramparts, with gates for communication with the outside. It is entirely self-sufficient, with its own houses, palaces, cemeteries, hammams, schools, bakeries, handicraft workshops, courtyards and gardens. Each street in the Medina represents a different trade. The noble trades such as jewelers, silk-merchants, perfumers and book-sellers are located around the central mosque and the less refined trades are pushed towards the outskirts of the city.
Key Attractions
Souks - The souks are real living places and craftsmen can be found practicing their trade on the streets, where each street represents a different craft. Test your haggling skills and purchase one-of-a-kind items.
Bardo Museum - A visit to the Bardo Museum, which is home to the world’s finest collection of mosaics, is essential for those who wish to learn a little more about the heritage of the country.
Historical Sites - Tunis is close to the historical sites of Carthage and the pretty blue and white artists village of Sidi Bou Said which can be reached by a short taxi ride, or on the TGM (light railway network).
Golf – Tunisia’s temperate year-round climate provides ideal golfing conditions and with eight conveniently located courses, the biggest decision for most golfers is where to play, whether it’s by the sea or surrounded by palm trees – the choice is yours.
