A flight to Tunis takes you to Tunisia’s compact and charming capital, dating back to the 7th century. Don’t miss Tunis’ impressive Zitouna Mosque or a visit to the famous Café M'Rabet.
Explore times gone by in Tunis at the Bardo Museum where there are world-famous Roman mosaics, Punic statues and fresco rooms to discover. Explore the heart of both Tunis and Tunisia at the bustling Medina.
Escape the crowds of the city at Sidi Bou Said village (20km north-east of Tunis) or on the long sandy beach of La Marsa (in the suburbs). Or trek the Roman ruins of Dougga (96km outside Tunis).
Tunisians adore their flavours. Dine on Mechouia (roasted vegetables mashed with tuna and eggs) and Koucha (shoulder of lamb with herbs, cooked in a clay pot). Wash this all down with mint tea, which is everywhere in Tunis, but watch out for the fig-based alcohol Boukha!
