Explore the rich history and culture of Tunisia with this immersive full-day tour from Tunis or Hammamet. Dive into the ancient past and vibrant present of this fascinating country through visits to key historical and cultural sites. Here’s what you’ll experience:
Tophet de Carthage, Rue de Hannibal, Carthage 7016 Tunisia
Historians believe this site might have been a children's cemetery, where Carthaginian parents performed rituals to the gods Baal and Tanit. Strong imagery from Flaubert's works overshadowed the archaeological reality for years. Today, it’s known as the "Sanctuary of Tanit and Baal," featuring engraved stelae.
Visit the legendary ports, the basis of Carthage’s power and prosperity. A narrow channel linked the southern, oblong merchant port to the northern circular naval port. This arrangement meant that the military port was hidden from the outside, but the Carthaginian navy could see out to sea. The military base had moorings for 220 vessels in dry docks and around the quay-lined edge. The 7-hectare commercial port was bordered by quays and warehouses. The ports were filled in by Scipio after Carthage’s destruction in 146 BC, but in the 2nd century AD, the Romans reinvented the islet as a circular form, with two temples, and used the port to house their merchant fleet, which shipped wheat to Rome. Rises in the sea level meant the quay walls had to be raised several times. By the end of the 6th century, the harbor had fallen into disuse.
Baths of Antoninus, Impasse des Thermes d'Antonin Site Archoologique de Carthage.
A large complex of Roman baths built in the 2nd century, now part of an archaeological park.
Carthage Museum, Byrsa Hill,
In the center of Carthage, the national museum stands at the top of Byrsa Hill, a symbolic location where the ancient Punic city was built. Surrounding the museum are vestiges dating back to the 2nd century BC. Created in 1875, it is the oldest Tunisian museum and serves as a witness to the important archaeological discoveries made on the site of Carthage. The museum offers a deep dive into the turbulent history of this city, which was the center of a rich civilization.
Sidi Bou Said, Sidi Bou Said, Tunis Governorate
With its distinctive blue-and-white color scheme, cobbled streets, and stunning views of azure waters, the cliff-top village of Sidi Bou Saïd is one of the prettiest spots in Tunisia. Named after a 13th-century Sufi saint, its architecture is a mix of Ottoman and Andalusian styles, reflecting the influx of Spanish Muslims in the 16th century. For the French, the sleepy fishing village epitomized the romanticized Orientalism of the 19th century, leading to its protected status in 1915. Notable past residents and visitors include artist Paul Klee, author André Gide, philosopher Michel Foucault, and British eccentrics Osbert and Edith Sitwell. The village retains its North African charm today, enchanting both visitors and Tunisians.
