Travel Trends Tunisia wishes you a memorable stay in Tunisia, the country at the three thousand years of history, and the 1.300 km of Mediterranean coasts.
Considered one of the oldest countries in the Mediterranean, the various conquests of Tunisia were as productive as they were destructive, making Tunisia a vibrant multicoloured country where the peace and quiet cannot hide a vital love of life. With its rich and vivid history it is the essence of both Oriental and Western civilisations, so near and yet so far.

At the heart of Tunisia's Medina’s music, perfume and colours intermingle. In the streets of even the remotest villages young girls go to school in jeans. On the plains the Bedouin chant and dance with the silence. In the streets, history whispers legends and fables in your ear. The archaeological sites take you on a tour of the Ancient world.
Phoenicians, Romans, Byzantines, Carthaginians, Arabs, Andalusia’s, Turks, Italians… this succession of communities and cultures has left both their traces and their monuments, changes and retrievals…. to form what has become over the years, throughout history, Tunisian civilisation.

From the Capitol at Dougga to the Coliseum of El Jem, from Virgil's portrait in the Bardo and the world's largest collection of mosaics, from the land of refuge of the Andalucians to the prosperity of the Turks and the Arabs, from "The Ghriba" the world's oldest Jewish synagogue, to the "Zitouna" the largest place of learning in the Arab-Muslim world via Kairouan, the forth holiest city in the Muslim world and its academies specialising in translation, medicine and geometry.
Marble inlaid-work and Zelif decors inspired by the Andalucians, from wooden decors, to the Turkish "chechia stambouli" via Italian inspired facades to the fabulous Jewish jewellery and gold, to the art of carpet weaving, of fire, embroidery…

Enjoy the delight and enchantment of Tunisia's markets and souks, hammams and cafés, traditional cooking and mint tea, each one a little celebration and a joy in itself. But above all they warm the heart, in this country where hospitality, generosity and openness of spirit are innate.
These are just some of the captivating sights you'll encounter on a visit to Tunisia.
