TOUR HIGHLIGHTS

Tunis: Tunisia’s laid-back capital boasts beautiful Islamic architecture and neighbours the famous ruins of Carthage.

Sidi Bou Said: A Mediterranean dreamland, this town is full of white walls and beautifully blue accented doors and windows along with endless views of the Mediterranean.

Hammamet: This seaside town is known for its beach resorts and laid-back vacation attitude.

Kairouan: Founded in the seventh century, Kairouan is considered the Islamic capital of Tunisia. 

El Djem: The town hosting the second largest Roman Coliseum in the world.

Day 1: ARRIVAL TUNIS – GAMMARTH (20km – 30min)

Upon your arrival at the airport of Tunis, you will be greeted and assisted by our airport staff and car rental personnel. Finalize the procedure for the car rental and get your brochure, vouchers and maps then drive to Gammarth where you will have your first overnight. 

Overnight in Gammarth.


Day 2: GAMMARTH – TUNIS – GAMMARTH (50km – 1hr)

Tunis, the capital of Tunisia is not only the political capital of the country and the hub for International events, it is also home to a couple of sites that you should not miss. In this big city you will have the opportunity to visit a couple of historical sites like the ones in Carthage, as well as old villages and medinas like Sidi Bousaid and the Medina. Do not miss to visit the UNESCO Museum of Bardo as it contains a very wide variety of mosaics.

Overnight in Gammarth.


Day 3: GAMMARTH – HAMMAMET (90km – 1.5hr)

After breakfast exit the big city and hit the highway towards Hammamet. We strongly suggest spending the day visiting Oudna, yet another Roman site located outside of Tunis, and then continuing to Zaghouan, following the water route and seeing the Water Temple through which Carthage used to be supplied with Water. At the end of the day, you will have ample time to discover the coastal city of Hammamet and visit its old and new Medina.

Overnight in Hammamet.


Day 4: HAMMAMET – KAIROUAN (120km – 1.5hr)

Today after breakfast leave Hammamet and head towards a more interior area to visit the capital of Islam, Kairouan. The city contains one of the biggest mosques in North Africa, a huge Medina, Basins from the Aghlabyd era as well as a local Mausoleum where if you are lucky you can witness a celebration of a marriage or a circumcision. 

Overnight Kairouan.


Day 5: KAIROUAN – SOUSSE (140km – 2hrs)

As you leave Kairouan, head back to the coast towards the city of El Djem, containing the second biggest Roman Coliseum in the World after the one in Rome. The city also has a nice museum located near an old Roman city. On your way back north, you have the option of stopping in Monastir, home of the first Tunisian president where lies a mausoleum at his honour. At the end of the day, you should find yourself in the coastal city of Sousse, where you can visit the Medina and the Leisure harbour and enjoy a cosy and relaxed end of the day in Port in Kantaoui near your hotel.

Overnight in Sousse.


Day 6: SOUSSE – GAMMARTH (170km – 2.5hrs)

This is an extra day for you to spend in the country which you can spend at leisure in Sousse or making your way back to Tunis. We recommend stopping by Hergla before you hit the highway, a nice coastal village with beautiful scenic views.

Overnight in Gammarth.


Day 7: GAMMARTH – DEPARTURE TUNIS (20km – 30min)

Head back to the airport where you will be met by our staff to hand back the car and be assisted for your departure flight. Bon Voyage!

Comfortable and light clothing is the most suitable for travelling in Tunisia, though a warm jumper and jacket are advisable in the cooler months. Visitors should not wear sleeveless shirts, shorts, short skirts or skimpy clothing when visiting religious or official buildings. Sun protection, sunglasses, a hat and mosquito repellent can be very useful during your stay.
