Historic riches

Tunisia’s past isn’t tucked behind glass – it's out in the open. Stand in the vast amphitheatre of El Jem, where gladiators once clashed, or trace mosaics in the Bardo Museum that look freshly laid. Roman roads, ports and centuries‑old medinas make history feel wonderfully close.

Sandy swathes

Tunisia’s coastline is a long ribbon of soft sand and clear, shallow water. Hammamet’s bays are perfect for lazy swims, while Sousse and Port el Kantaoui mix beach time with lively promenades. Down in Skanes, palm‑fringed shores and calm turquoise seas offer plenty of charm.

Food and flavour

Tunisian cooking is bold, bright and proudly local. Expect couscous steamed to perfection, brik pastries that shatter at first bite and seafood pulled straight from the Mediterranean. Harissa adds a fiery kick to almost everything, while market stalls brim with dates, olives and oranges that taste of pure sunshine.
