Top 5 Things To Do In Tunisia
Monastir - A Captivating Gem

Visit Moknine, a small village that's got caught up in a time warp and decided to embrace it. Everywhere you look, you’ll see colourful buildings with intricate tiles and charming courtyards with vibrant flowers. Enjoy the food, in particular the fresh fish and delicious couscous that will leave your taste buds wanting more. If you're in the town centre, make sure you check out Moknine's folk museum. It's located in the former Mosque of Sidi Babana and definitely worth a visit!

Skanes - Reflect On History

Pay tribute to a great leader by visiting the Mausoleum of Habib Bourguiba. Step into the magnificent complex and immerse yourself in the legacy of Tunisia's founding father. Admire the stunning architecture and serene surroundings as you learn about the remarkable achievements and vision of Bourguiba.

Hammamet - Explore The Detour

Go through the winding alleys of Nabeul, stopping in the quaint shops to buy some handcrafted ceramics or a plaited mat made by a local artisan. The area around the Craft Making Centre is well-known for the abundance and low cost of its textiles. Visit the Nabeul Archaeological Museum on Avenue Habib Bourguiba while you're in town. The Punic and Roman artefacts that were unearthed from the archaeological sites on the peninsula are the highlights of this tiny, but interesting museum that provides a detailed introduction to the history of Cap Bon.

Sousse - A Colossal Marvel

Fancy a day trip from Sousse? Head to El Jem Amphitheatre, where you can choose between public and private tours of the enormous golden stone amphitheatre. We recommend the train trip since it is the most relaxing option especially if you're travelling solo. Stop at the archaeological museum after seeing out the amphitheatre to learn more about the remnants of this area's prosperous Roman era!

Djerba - A Vibrant Chaos

Be part of the charged atmosphere! We recommend visiting Djerba during July to August to have the time of your life at the Ulysse Festival! Theatre shows, music events and film screenings in Houmt Souk's busy streets and quaint squares create a true party ambiance. Don't worry if you don't speak a foreign language; you'll get the vibe and enjoy it anyhow. Just blend in with the crowd and go with the flow!
