Tunisia is one of Africa's most accessible and rewarding destinations — a compact Mediterranean country of extraordinary historical depth, where Phoenician, Roman, Byzantine, Arab, Ottoman, and French layers of civilization are visible at every turn. Tunis is one of the Arab world's most beautiful capitals — its UNESCO-listed Medina a labyrinth of souks, mosques, palaces, and hammams that has changed little in a thousand years.

Carthage was one of the ancient world's greatest cities — the capital of a maritime empire that challenged Rome for supremacy of the Mediterranean. Today its ruins overlook the sea from a dramatic hilltop, a UNESCO World Heritage Site of extraordinary resonance. Sidi Bou Said is one of the Mediterranean's most photographed villages — a clifftop town of dazzling blue and white architecture, bougainvillea, and extraordinary views over the Gulf of Tunis.
