Day 2: Tunisia

After breakfast at the hotel, we join the Grand Historical Trails of Tunisia (Tunis & Carthage & Sidi Bou Said & Bardo Museum) tour. Our tour begins in Tunis. In addition to being the capital of the country, this city is also its political, commercial, and cultural center, where we will have the opportunity to witness a blend of modern and ancient Tunisia. Next, we head to Carthage, founded by the Phoenicians and once a major center of the Roman Empire in Africa, which is listed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. After lunch break, we proceed to Sidi Bou Said, the pearl of Tunisia. In this enchanting town, famous for its cobblestone streets and blue-and-white houses, we will take a photo stop with views of the Mediterranean Sea, followed by our next and final stop: the Bardo Museum, one of the most important museums in the Mediterranean region. The museum houses a rich marble collection featuring Roman gods and emperors, as well as the world’s largest collection of Roman mosaics. After the tour, we transfer back to our hotel. Dinner and overnight stay at our hotel in the Hammamet area.

After the breakfast we will have at the hotel, we join the Magnificent Ancient Cities (Kairouan & El Djem & Sousse) tour. Our tour begins with Kairouan, a holy city considered the fourth most important in Islam after Mecca, Medina, and Jerusalem, and home to the Great Mosque, one of the finest examples of Islamic architecture in the region. Then, in El Djem, we will see the impressive ruins of North Africa's largest coliseum. After viewing this magnificent structure, which once held 35,000 spectators watching gladiator fights during the region's golden age, we proceed to Sousse, the country's third-largest city and one of its main tourist centers.
