Túnez

Synopsis of Túnez

Discover Tunisia, a country in the heart of the Mediterranean where Phoenicians, Romans, Byzantines, Arabs, Italians, and French have left their mark. This Trotamundos guide will accompany you on a journey that begins in the capital, where you can explore one of the most beautiful medinas and its colonial center, as well as the Roman mosaics of the Bardo National Museum. Not far away is Sidi-bou-Said, a charming coastal town with white walls, and the ruins of ancient Carthage. To the west, the Coral Coast offers a mix of capes, coves, and cliffs, stretching from Bizerta to Tabarka. You will also have the opportunity to visit Ichkeul National Park, a World Heritage Site. From Tabarka, the journey continues to the Roman sites of Bulla Regia, Dugga, Makthar, Sbeitla, Haidra, and Thuburbo Maius. Cape Bon, east of the capital, is distinguished by its vineyards, fruit trees, cereals, and sites such as Kerkouane, as well as its lively cities with souks. With Kairouan and the Sahel, you will get to know the spiritual capital of the country and the eastern coast, including Susa, Sfax, and El-Jem. Further south, you will reach the Gulf of Gabes and the beautiful island of Djerba. Finally, the doors of the desert, with Berber populations such as Matmata and Toujane, will mark the end of your adventure. You will find all the necessary information in the 'How to go' and 'Generalities' sections, which cover documentation, climate, time difference, currency, transport, and sections dedicated to cuisine, festivities, language, history, and customs.
