| Half day : Sousse / Port El Kantaoui |
Sousse is the third largest city in Tunisia and the largest resort town. Impressive ancient ramparts surround the old town. The 9th century Ribat is one of a chain of fortified monasteries built to defend North Africa from Christian attacks. Its watchtower gives a splendid view over the medina, as the garden terrace of Sousse museum does. Port El Kantaoui Yacht harbor is built in a typically Mediterranean architectural style. It is the largest garden-harbour in Africa.
Luxury yachts from all over the Mediterranean, whitewashed houses, colourful gardens and charming seaside cafés create a lovely backdrop as you stroll through the small boutiques |

| Half day : Monastir / Mahdia |
Monastir is a quiet town by the sea. In its center, a grand cemetery ends in a domed palace-like structure. This is where Habib Bourguiba, Tunisia’s first president has been put to rest. At times the medina feels more like a museum than the center of a bustling modern town. This impression is enhanced by the old Ribat (fortress) opposite the Bourguiba mausoleum. This Ribat is an example of successful restoration as it has preserved an ancient aura about it.
The Ribat has been used as a location for films such as Life of Brian and Life of Christ due to its photogenic nature. The mausoleum and the inner city both have a distinct artistic value and preserve the complex and beautiful traditional Tunisian architecture.
Mahdia takes its name from its first Fatamid ruler, El Mahdi (humbly known as ‘The Savior of the World’). |

| Full day : Kairouan / El Jem |
Kairouan was founded by Okba Ibn Nafaa thirteen centuries ago as the first Islamic city in the Maghreb. Today, though it has retained the peace of a provincial town, it boasts one of the Muslim world’s most prestigious monuments, the Great Mosque of Sidi Okba. Built only of plain bricks, marble and cedar wood, it features beautiful gilded ceramic works, an art practiced by 9th century Kairouan craftsmen. Nearby, the last two of the 9th century Aghlabite Basins which were among the greatest waterworks of the middle Ages. The basins are seen from the top of the Tourist Information Building and form an introduction to the foundation of Kairouan and its glorious age.
El Jem’s amphitheatre is the main attraction and is one of Tunisia’s most often visited sites. This monumental amphitheater, built in the mid 3rd century AD (230-240 AD), is the largest Roman monument left in Africa, and ranks 3rd in the Empire after those of Rome and Verona. Being one of the last large amphitheater built during the Roman era, its architectural design is an improvement over that of the Coliseum of Rome. |
