Trip Overview
Embark on a ten-day journey through Tunisia that weaves together ancient civilizations, living medinas, and a once‑in‑a‑lifetime astronomical event. Begin in Tunis, exploring the world-renowned Bardo Museum, the ancient Phoenician and Roman remains of Carthage, and the blue-and-white cliffside village of Sidi Bou Said, while staying in a modern boutique hotel steps from the historic center. Delve into the UNESCO-listed Medina of Tunis with expert local guidance, then travel south via the Roman town of Thuburbo Majus and the Fatimid port of Mahdia to Sfax, whose intact walled medina and coastal location make it an ideal base for witnessing the August 2, 2027 total solar eclipse—one of the longest on land for this event. Continue through Roman North Africa at El Djem’s spectacular amphitheater and mosaic-rich villas before arriving in Kairouan, a major center of Islamic learning, to visit its Great Mosque, evocative medina, and impressive waterworks. Conclude amid the olive groves and Roman–Berber ruins of Dougga and at a family-run olive estate, then return to the coast for a relaxing finale at Gammarth, where a seaside farewell dinner caps this rich encounter with Tunisia’s layered past and vibrant present.
