During the city tour, places to be seen include Bourguiba Boulevard, where you will feel like you are in France, the St. Vincent de Paul Cathedral built in the 19th century, the statue of Ibn Khaldun, one of the famous Arab scholars of the Middle Ages, and the clock tower, which is considered the symbol of Tunis. Afterwards, we set off for our Nabeul tour. In Nabeul, the capital of ceramics and pottery arts, we will stroll through the mystical streets of the city and see many objects unique to Tunisia such as copper, leather, embroidery, and cradles. Then we move towards Hammamet, dubbed the Saint-Tropez of Tunisia, built by the sea, offering stunning views from its rooftop terraces. In Hammamet, we will see long, clean beaches and the blue sea, as well as magnificent parks, luxurious gardens, castle walls, streets, and the grand mosque that has preserved the rich history of the city. After the tour, we transfer to the hotel and have free time to relax. Dinner and overnight stay at our hotel.
2nd Day
HAMMAMET
After breakfast at the hotel, we depart for our Kairouan & El Jem & Monastir tour. Our first stop will be Kairouan, where we will visit the Great Mosque of Okba Ibn Nefaa, regarded as the ancestor of all mosques in the Maghreb and one of the most important Islamic monuments. This structure, which is a universal architectural masterpiece, is also classified as a UNESCO World Heritage site. We will also visit the Aghlabid Basin and the tomb of Sidi Sahbi. Afterward, we head to El Jem. The amphitheater here is one of the best-preserved Roman ruins in the world. Built in the middle of the 3rd century AD (AD 230-240), this monumental amphitheater is the largest Roman monument left in Africa and is third in the Empire after those in Rome and Verona. It is one of the last major amphitheaters built during the Roman period, with architectural design developed from the Colosseum in Rome. After the tour, we transfer back to the hotel and have free time. Dinner and overnight stay at our hotel.

HAMMAMET
After breakfast at the hotel, we depart for our Tunis & Carthage & Bardo Museum tour. We first head to explore the ancient city of Carthage, founded by the Phoenicians and listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site. Here, we will trace the 3,000-year-old Roman, Byzantine, and Crusader remnants in the footsteps of the famous Carthaginian commander Hannibal. Rich in history, Carthage houses a series of ancient structures and remains, including thermal baths, temples, and walls. Our tour will continue with a visit to the Bardo Museum, which has a wide collection of pieces, particularly notable for Roman mosaics. Each mosaic, with its intricate designs and vibrant colors, tells a unique story from Tunisia's diverse past. We will then head to the historic Medina neighborhood of Tunis. Known as Old Tunis, we will explore the narrow streets filled with shops for souvenirs, including the famous market, Souk El Attarine. "Souk" means "market" or "bazaar" in Arabic, and "El Attarine" refers to "perfume sellers" or "spice sellers". You have the opportunity to shop as you wish here.
