Description
Uncover Carthage’s ancient wonders and wander Sidi Bou Said’s cliffside alleys on a guided tour rich in history, culture, and panoramic Mediterranean views — a must-do in coastal Tunisia.
Step into Tunisia’s legendary past with a guided tour of the ancient city of Carthage, once the center of a powerful Mediterranean empire. Begin your journey at the Tophet, a sacred Punic site shrouded in mystery, then move on to the evocative Punic Port, where mighty Carthaginian fleets once ruled the seas. Continue to the grand Antonine Baths, the largest Roman thermae in Africa, offering breathtaking views of the coastline.
Next, explore the Roman Theatre and the nearby Amphitheatre, where the echoes of history still resonate. Visit the ancient cisterns, once vital to Carthage’s advanced water system, and climb Byrsa Hill, the historical heart of the city, crowned by the ruins and stunning views over the Gulf of Tunis.
After immersing yourself in history, shift gears as you head to the picturesque village of Sidi Bou Said. With its iconic blue-and-white architecture, cobbled streets, and sweeping sea views, this hilltop town offers the perfect contrast to ancient ruins. Stroll through artisan shops, capture stunning photos, and enjoy free time for a coffee or mint tea at a traditional café overlooking the Mediterranean.
