TUNISIAN DESERT ROUTE
Tunisia
Whether you stand in awe at the sheer size of the well-preserved coliseum in El Jem or spend the day gazing at breath-taking mosaics from the Punic, Roman and Islamic eras at the world class Bardo museum, know that these are just a few of Tunisia’s incredible sites. Come with an attitude and spirit of adventure. Tunisia is a small country and in just one day you can visit a Roman site and ancient medina, swim in the Mediterranean in the morning and ride a camel in the afternoon in the Sahara.
Tunisia The geographical position of Tunisia south of the Mediterranean basin, with 1,300 kilometres of mainly sandy coasts, a warm Mediterranean climate in summer and mild winter, a rich civilisational heritage (eight sites inscribed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List), and, above all, a low cost of tourism make this country one of the main destinations for European tourists in Africa and the Arab world.
