Tunisia's rich cultural heritage takes centre stage on this action-packed tour. You'll visit the market town of Nabeul, then explore an ancient fortress and a ruined Phoenician city. There's a typical local lunch and a view over coastal caves, too. Mehdi, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘The ruins at Kerkouane offer a glimpse into the daily life of the ancient Phoenicians as it is the only surviving town from this period that was not built over by the Romans. You'll see the remains of houses, workshops and public buildings, all laid out in a grid pattern which is still clearly visible.'
We'll begin with a visit to Nabeul, known as the home of pottery. Here, you'll see the traditional techniques used to create striking, colourful ceramic pieces – save some space in your luggage as these make great souvenirs to take home. Next, we'll explore the 16th-century Byzantine citadel of Kelibia Fort, which offers sweeping views of the Mediterranean Sea. Our next stop is Kerkouane, one of the best-preserved cities of the ancient Phoenicians. Admire the intricate stonework and layout and learn about its role in the region.
After exploring Kerkouane, we'll take a break to enjoy a freshly prepared Tunisian lunch. You'll have the opportunity to taste a variety of traditional dishes and sample Tunisian wine at a wine tasting. Mehdi says, ‘Tunisian wines are medium-bodied, with rich fruit and a smooth finish, perfect with Tunisian specialities like couscous and spicy lamb.'
