1. Tunis and Carthage: Cities full of history
Tunis is the capital city of Tunisia and it showcases a true open-air Islamic museum. A showcase of historic buildings (dars), mosques, madrassas, zauias (tombs), hammams (public baths), kasbahs and the characteristic souks are collected within the wall that surrounds the city. If you visit the highest point of the Medina, you can witness a magnificent sunset over the mosques and the city, making it very valuable while you are in the capital. In the evening, you can enjoy a romantic dinner in the city (we recommend the beautiful Dar El Jeld), bearing in mind that, as it is an Islamic city, short ceremony dresses should be replaced with more simple and unrevealing clothes.
If you are looking to search deeper into the history of Tunisia, be sure to visit the city of Carthage, one of the most dominant ones in ancient times. Also, get at the ruins of Caragoand climb the hill of Brysa, where the city museum and cathedral are located; there, you can still observe the phenomenal Gulf of Tunis. Outside the hill, the Roman and Byzantine ruins are spread over a very extensive area and you can see the old Roman amphitheater and the remains of the old villas or the baths of António. To reach this unique place, you can do it from Sidi Bou Said, located on one of the hills overlooking the Gulf of Tunis. If you stop in the city, make sure you visit the Dar el-Annabi mansion, which is over 300 years old and to make a small break at the Sidi Chabaane cafe.
