Explore the ancient Phoenician settlement of Utica, the port town of Ghar el-Melh, and the historic city of Bizerte on a day trip from Tunis. Visit Cape Angela and hike in Ichkeul National Park.
Begin your day trip with a convenient hotel pickup in Tunis. Travel north to Utica, a Phoenician settlement with over 3,000 years of history. Explore the Roman forum, temples, amphitheater, and thermal baths. Visit the Waterfall House and learn about the city’s role during the Punic Wars.

Next, head to Ghar el-Melh, a picturesque town with a rich Phoenician, Roman, and Ottoman past. Explore this ancient strategic port, the first Ramsar Wetland Accredited City in northern Africa. See its marshes and enjoy a drive next to the lake.

Continue to the heart of Bizerte and explore Qsiba, the fortified neighborhood that surrounds the port and the historic soul of the city. Stroll along its narrow streets with whitewashed houses until you reach the Venetian-inspired old port. Visit its imposing fortress, which protected the city from marine incursions for centuries.

Have an hour of free time for lunch before heading to Cape Angela, the northernmost point of Africa. Enjoy the views of the Mediterranean Sea and take pictures of the rocky promontory.

Finally, visit the Ichkeul National Park, a natural paradise declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Enjoy a 30-minute hike to a panoramic viewpoint, offering spectacular views of the lake and its surroundings. This sanctuary is home to thousands of migratory birds, such as flamingos, storks, and geese.
