Grand Tour of Tunisia

Today you will be picked up by your guide and taken to explore the Old Tunis Medina. There are plenty of cafes to grab a bite of lunch here, before you move on to visit the spectacular Bardo Museum, which houses an incredible display of mosaics. Afterwards you will head over to nearby Carthage for a short visit before returning to your hotel.

You have another full day excursion with your driver and guide today, this time to the amazing Roman ruins at Dougga and Bulla Regia - this is a long but very interesting day!

A full day at leisure to relax at your hotel and further explore the lovely Sidi Bou Said.

This morning you head south toward the holy Islamic city of Kairouan. En route you will stop and spend some time exploring the impressive Roman site of Thurburbo Majus. Arriving in Kairouan, you'll stay for two nights at your hotel.

Two extraordinary excursions today, beginning with a tour of Kairouan, including the awesome Great Mosque. After lunch, it's on to the spectacular Roman amphitheatre of El Jem, probably the most famous single sight in Tunisia.

A drive inland takes you to another well preserved Roman site at Sbeitla. Following an extensive tour of the ruins you continue into the desert to the picturesque town of Tamerza, where you'll stay for three nights at your hotel.

This morning you will visit (and hike in) the mountain oases of Southwest Tunisia, including Mides, Chebika and Tamerza. After an energetic morning, the afternoon is free to relax.

The highlight today is a charming journey on the Red Lizard steam train. Primarily a tourist journey these days, the train winds through scenic gorges and mountains to Selja station, before embarking on a return journey.

A long but rewarding day, with a stunning desert drive across from Tamerza to Ksar Ghilane. En route you traverse the Chott El Jerid salt lake and make stops in Tozeur and Douz. Your accommodation for one night is an en suite tent.

A remote journey for you today, taking in some dramatic mountain scenery and visiting the troglodyte / Berber settlement of Matmata, which will be very familiar to Star Wars fans! A short ferry ride to the Island of Jerba brings the long journeys to an end, giving you the chance to unwind in comfort with two nights at your hotel.

You have today at leisure to relax and possibly visit the impressive El Ghriba Synagogue.

After breakfast you'll catch a domestic flight to Tunis, to catch your international flight. Your return flight will arrive the same day.
