Arrival at Tunis Carthage airport, assistance by our guide. Transfer to Hammamet (01H00 driving = 65 Km), check in in the hotel, dinner and overnight..

After breakfast, checkout and departure to Kairouan (01H20 driving = 90 Km): the city which rises like a dream of ochre and tawny beige, bearing in its serenity 13 centuries of Islamic culture. Behold the wondrous beauty of its mosques, the symphony of its columns and arches and the exquisite delicacy of the stone work. Visit of the Great Mosque of Uqba Bin Nafi, an important Islamic landmark and architecture which was built in the 9th century. Next, visit Sidi Sahbi Mausoleum, which houses the tomb of one of Prophet Mohammed's companions known as the Barber and the Aghlabiden pools. (02H30 visit = 5 Km). We will proceed to Sbeitla (01H30 driving-105 Km). Lunch in a restaurant and then visit the Roman ruins of Sbeitla (02H00). One of the few ancient Roman cities that is famous not only for its strategic role but also its politics and economy have played a major role during antiquity.
Departure for Tozeur (02H00 driving = 170 Km): one of the famous oasis in the world which is surrounded by 200 springs. It is sheltered by a palm grove of more than 1000 ha – about 400.000 palm trees and world-renowned dates, also known as deglet nour which means “fingers of light”. Check in in the hotel, dinner and overnight.

After Breakfast, departure in 4X4 to visit the Mountain oasis of Chebika/Tamerza/ Midès (01H00 driving= 70 Km). ₋ In Chebika, the refreshing water rushes over an imposing waterfall to form a wadi surrounded by palm trees at the bottom of a gorge. Tamerza looks barricaded by its mountain range, as if suspended on the side of a vast canyon with commanding views over the vast plains as far as the Chott and the sand hills. Finally, there is Midès – the western – most and arguably the most impressive of these oases which overlooks a breathtakingly high canyon. ₋ Return to Tozeur (01H00 driving = 70 Km) and lunch in EDEN PALM. Departure to Douz via Chott El Jerid (01H30 driving = 100 Km)
Stop for photo in Chott El Jerid (it’s sunbaked surface, composed of a hard crust of sodium chloride, conceals sources of underground water and the area has a vivid red colour due to the high iron content)

Lunch in troglodyte restaurant and visit of the troglodyte village (01H30 visit). Continuation to El Jem (02H30 driving =250 Km): Be enthralled by one of the world’s largest and most spectacular Roman
Amphitheatre. Built in 238 AD, the Amphitheatre can hold up to 35,000 spectators. This monument illustrates the grandeur and extent of the Roman Empire.

Then Departure to visit Sidi Bou Said (10 minutes driving = 5 Km): stroll through the narrow streets of Sidi Bou Said, a picturesque small town bordered by whitewashed houses with blue shutters and doors.

enjoying the superb view of the gulf of Tunisia. Lunch in local restaurant. Visit of Bardo Museum (IF OPEN) (closed on Mondays) (30 minutes driving= 15 Km) one of the best archaeological museums
in the Mediterranean, which is especially well known for its beautiful collection of mosaics. The museum is located in an old palace that belongs to the Beys, rulers of Tunisia (02H00 Visit).
