The Best of Tunisia

By Martin Gani

Perched on the northernmost tip of Africa, Tunisia effortlessly blends Mediterranean seaside charm, ancient imperial history, and Saharan wonder. The journey often begins in Tunis, where bustling, spice-scented medinas contrast with sun-bleached French-colonial avenues. Just outside the capital lies Sidi Bou Said, a picturesque clifftop village framed by iconic cobalt-blue doors, whitewashed walls, and cascading bougainvillea overlooking the Gulf of Tunis. Minutes away, the scattered remains of ancient Carthage offer a captivating glimpse into one of the Mediterranean's most legendary rival empires. For history enthusiasts, Tunisia's archaeological sites rival any across Europe. The soaring third-century El Djem Amphitheatre stands remarkably intact, whilst the UNESCO-listed city of Dougga presents exceptionally preserved Roman temples, public baths, and stone-paved streets. Heading further south, the landscape dramatically transitions into the rolling golden dunes of the Sahara, lush date-palm oases such as Tozeur, and the subterranean troglodyte dwellings of Matmata, renowned as iconic cinematic backdrops. Along the coastline, vibrant resort hubs like Hammamet, Sousse, and the tranquil island of Djerba offer miles of sun-drenched sandy beaches, turquoise waters, and fresh seafood. Warm local hospitality, a rich cuisine tastefully flavoured with harissa and olive oil, and exceptional value for money together render Tunisia an extraordinary, multifaceted destination.
