Detailed itinerary

Stop 1
This sprawling maze of ancient streets and alleys is one of North Africa’s most impressive medieval medinas and one of Tunisia’s great treasures. It’s home to numerous covered souks selling everything from shoes to shisha pipes, as well as bustling cafes, alleyways filled with artisans at work, and residential areas punctuated by large, brightly painted doorways. Historic palaces, hammams, mosques, and madrassas (schools for the study of the Quran) are scattered throughout, many lavishly decorated with tile, carved stucco, and marble columns.

With its distinctive blue and white colours, cobbled streets and breathtaking glimpses of azure waters, the clifftop village of Sidi Bou Said is one of the most beautiful places in Tunisia. Its distinctive architecture is a mix of Ottoman and Andalusian, the result of the influx of Spanish Muslims in the 16th century.
