Discover the medieval medina of Tunis.
A UNESCO World Heritage Site founded in the seventh century by Arabs, the Medina of Tunis is no surprise in North Africa, a labyrinth of lanes, tunnels, and traditional life. The medina (old town) of Tunis is a charming place to wander and get lost in a puzzle of alleyways. You will find many shops and boutiques along the alley located in the Medina of Tunis.
Beautiful Sidi Bou Said is the most beautiful landmark of the Mysterious Land of the warm sun, a city of white and blue flowers perched on a rock at the foot of which the Mediterranean Sea stretches, the Atlas Mountains and magnificent Carthage can be seen in the distance. For the best views, walk up to the mausoleum of Abu Said el-Baji, from where you can enjoy panoramic views of the Gulf of Tunis, Carthage, and the Tunisian capital itself. While on holiday in Tunisia, you can also visit the Dar El Annabi Museum, which is a traditional-style house in Sidi Bou Said.
In terms of history, Tunis has a lot to tell, especially tourist spots such as the Bardo National Museum, St. Vincent de Paul Cathedral and the Bab el Bhar Bardo National Museum, St. Vincent de' Paoli Cathedral - in particular, tourist spots are just some of the from many places with many interesting stories behind them. Vibrant Tunis is a modern, built-up city that hides centuries of Roman and Arab history. From wine lovers to the Carthaginian lay people, to the traditional families of the Medina and their local Italian restaurants, the country's capital has always been somewhere in between, which is why Tunis today is a real melting pot of all the cultures that surround it, to the point where you can hardly define it. You can be forgiven for thinking you will make the jump across the Mediterranean to the islands of the Greek Aegean when you enter the bustling interior of the city of Sidi Bou Said, which is only twenty kilometres from bustling Tunis.
