Introduction
Northern, green Tunisia is spoiled by a mild Mediterranean climate, which the ancient Phoenicians and Romans already appreciated. Lush agriculture flourishes here, with extensive vineyards, grain fields and olive groves. They made the country in ancient times the "granary", main supplier of "olive oil" and the "wine cellar of Rome". Cork oak forests of Tabarka and world heritage sites El Djem and Thugga In this balanced cultural tour you will visit Roman ruined cities in the central Tunisian steppe highlands to experience nature and culture. The journey runs through an almost Arcadian landscape with vast cornfields, meadows - dotted with wild flowers, geometrically precise olive groves, long avenues of eucalyptus trees and vineyards. The lively village life off the beaten track gives them an idea of the Mediterranean beauty of Tunisia's northern, green regions and of the everyday life of the population, about 80% of whom live from agriculture. Artists' village Sidi Bou Said, "holy" city of Kairouan and ruins of Carthage A visit to the Bardo Museum and the "holy" city of Kairouan, the spiritual and religious center of Tunisia, rounds off the experience of the country and provides a deeper understanding of the way of life of Hannibal's grandchildren. Not to be missed is the typical Tunisian cuisine. Whether delicious couscous and fresh fish in a simple restaurant or a menu with several courses, the Tunisian cuisine is very tasty and has a lot to offer. In addition, you can enjoy one of the good red, rosé and white wines of the country. Experience with us the original Tunisia away from the bunkhouses and tourist crowds.
