Carthage, Sidi Bou Said, and the Bardo Museum

  • First up, step back through the millennia at the ancient ruins of Carthage. Founded by the Phoenicians in 814 BC, this once-mighty city was home to Hannibal. But its real heyday came under the Romans, when it was the jewel in the crown of their Empire. The crumbling monuments here are a sight to behold.

  • Then, see the immense Antonine Roman Baths perched above the Med, the amphitheatre, and the haunting sacrificial site of Tophet, as well as numerous other relics.

  • On to Sidi Bou Said, a beautiful clifftop village. With radiant white houses, blue shutters, and cobbled streets, this picture-book place commands heart-stopping views over Tunis Bay.

  • After a break for lunch, you will visit Tunis's famous Bardo Museum. Here, your guide will take you around its world-leading collection of Roman mosaics - astonishing artworks dug up from Roman villas found in the region.

  • Afterwards, if there is free time, we will admire the museum's other displays before heading back to your resort in Tunis.
