Tunisia is a land of different experiences. With its buzzing capital Tunis, you can enjoy both a historical immersion at the hills of Carthage or appreciate a good talk with its startups in one of its 3 business bays. And if you are an avid artist you may get inspired at the village of Sidi Bou Said with its wonderful view on the Mediterranean sea that inspired its iconic white and blue colors.
And that’s just the capital, if you venture further south you’ll have to decide either to enjoy the beach at one of its coastal cities such as Mehdia, Sousse, Or Hammamet. You may also opt-out for a journey in its desert, where the old Berber villages are still carved within the rocks.

Tunisia has a bucketful of surprising tourist attractions and things to do for those that venture off the sandy shores. This is North Africa wrapped up into one bite-sized package. There are alleyways of pastel-washed houses and crowded souk streets to explore in the cities; ancient ruins to discover out in the countryside; and the vast desert expanse of the Sahara to the south with its sweeping dunes, craggy mountains, and hidden, palm-tree-filled oases. Tunisia was Rome’s breadbasket, and the cultural riches the Romans left behind are more than enough reason to visit. But the history of the Arab Empires has also bestowed the country with some of the region’s most beautiful examples of Islamic architecture.
When you’ve craned your neck at Kairouan’s minarets and played gladiator at El Djem, it’s time to head into the Sahara to sample the raw, empty beauty of the desert. The sun-soaked beaches of the Mediterranean coastline, fringed by palms and lapped by gentle waves, will still be waiting for you when you get back.
