Tunisia

Tunisia, a gem on the Mediterranean coast of North Africa, invites travellers with its rich history, diverse landscapes, and vibrant culture. In the capital city of Tunis, you can explore the UNESCO-listed Medina (old town) with its labyrinthine streets, ancient mosques, and bustling souks offering everything from spices to traditional handicrafts. The Bardo Museum houses an impressive collection of Roman mosaics and artifacts that showcase Tunisia’s rich archaeological heritage.

Beyond the capital, the ruins of Carthage offer a glimpse into one of the ancient world’s most powerful civilisations, while the nearby seaside town of Sidi Bou Said captivates with its blue-and-white architecture and stunning views of the Mediterranean Sea. Inland, the Sahara Desert beckons adventurers with its vast dunes and the troglodyte dwellings of Matmata, made famous in films like Star Wars.

Tunisia’s coastline boasts beautiful beaches, such as those on the island of Djerba, where visitors can relax and enjoy the clear blue waters. The country’s diverse cuisine, influenced by Arab, Berber, Mediterranean, and French flavours, delights with dishes like couscous, brik (fried pastry), and fresh seafood.
