We
start with a visit to Carthage, living evidence of ancient civilisations.
Declared a national monument, the ancient city of Carthage and nearby
Salammbo, abound in vestiges of the Punic and Roman empires with baths,
dwellings, temples, shrines and the fabulous naval port of the
Carthaginians. See the Antoinine Thermal Baths one of the largest built
under the Roman empire with the 'cool room' an amazing 47 metres long and 15
metres high, the Roman theatre which is still used today for the summer
festival of Carthage. And, admire the stunning panoramic view from hill of
Byrsa overlooking the ancient site. The second part of our tour includes a
visit to the beautiful village of Sidi Bou Said, a lovely blue and white
village perched on the cliffs overlooking the Bay of Tunis. Follow the
cobblestone streets winding upwards with small shops selling antiques,
Tunisian handicrafts and silver. Catch glimpses of the emerald sea with the
mountain of Bou Kornine and the southern beaches of Tunis across the bay.
Time for a local speciality, Green tea with mint at the famous 'Cafe Des
Nattes' or if you would like to have a local lunch you will have free time.
We recommend, Bon Vue Restaurant for lunch, where many famous personalities have
dined over the years.
We continue with our tour with a
visit to the suburbs of the capital, visiting the Bardo Museum. This museum
was originally a Hafside Palace, built in the 13th century and over the
years it has been restored and now displays some of the finest Roman mosaics
and other priceless treasures from various parts territories
throughout Tunisia. This superb example of Arab-Moslem architecture and
decoration features vaulted ceilings, galleries and cupolas. The second part
of our tour will take us to the heart of Tunis and the old Medina. Our guide
will escort you through the narrow alleys which wind their way through the
heart of this cultural haven. You will see the great Mosque Zaytuna located
in the centre of the old Medina, door-to-door shops selling all types of
local curiosities and stunning houses of character which are nowadays used
as exclusive gift shops, art galleries and fine traditional restaurants. Our
tour comes to an end and we make our way back to your cruise ship.
