A trip with no destination in mind

Tunisia has a wide variety of attractions, including historical sites, natural scenery, and unique towns. Historical sites • Carthage: Located northeast of Tunis, Carthage was the capital of the Carthaginian Empire, built by the Phoenicians in 814 BC, 61 years before Rome. The ruins include a Roman theater and the Antonine Baths, which give a glimpse of the glory of the Carthaginian Empire. • El Jem Amphitheater: Built in the early 3rd century AD, it is one of the three largest amphitheaters left by the Roman Empire in Africa. It is the best-preserved and second-largest amphitheater after the Colosseum. • Kairouan: A historic city in Tunisia and one of the four holy cities of Islam, Kairouan is known as the "City of 300 Mosques" for its many mosques. Famous buildings include the Great Mosque of Kairouan, the Mosque of the Three Doors, and the Aghlabid Basins. Natural scenery • Chott el Jerid: Located in southern Tunisia, it is the largest salt flat in the Sahara Desert. The salt lake takes on a dreamlike color in the sunlight, sometimes reflecting the sky and surrounding scenery like a mirror. • Hammamet: An ancient city and famous tourist area with wide white sandy beaches and many Arab-style buildings. Enjoy the sun and sand, try water activities, and experience the laid-back atmosphere of a seaside resort. Unique towns • Sidi Bou Said: Also known as the Blue and White Town, it is located northeast of Tunis. All the houses in the town are painted white with blue windows, and the buildings wind up the mountain, full of romantic Mediterranean style. • Matmata: Known for its unique underground cave dwellings, it was one of the filming locations for Star Wars. Visit the cave dwellings of the locals and experience their primitive and unique way of life.
