...cities and the grandiose expanse of the desert. Tunisia has always been welcoming to man whose traces can be found everywhere in various forms. The Tunisian Sahara covers more than half the country and is a fascinating ecological environment. In the northern desert there are many long standing human settlements, traditional urban complexes, mountain villages and oases. Our lovely Villa rental is the perfect place from which to explore this rich historical landscape.
Further south the desert becomes more pronounced only protected by wild flora and fauna and occasional traces of human presence survive here. Rare fortifications and wells for the survival of the nomads and caravans can also be found. Spectacular but vulnerable settlements established far back in the country’s history constitute opportunities to discover the desert’s age.
Today is the perfect time to make plans to visit and stay in Tunisia and our lovely vacation rental villa in Tunisia.

ONE DAY TRIP FROM VILLA
KAIROUAN – SOUSSE – MONASTIR
This religious centre, the holy city of Kairouan, nicknamed the “town with three hundred mosques” is the spiritual home of all Tunisians where the minaret of the Great Mosque looms over the skyline of the city. Kairouan, the former capital of the Aghlabid emirs, is a place of tremendous historical significance. The spell binding old town fascinates its visitors. The Great Mosque, the symbol of Kairouan, dates from the 9th century and has been in use by Islamic worshippers longer than any other mosque in North Africa. It is a masterpiece of Islamic architecture with exquisite wood carved doors and stucco arabesques, bearing witness to its past glory. The mosque itself is a virtual fortress.
Next is the Barbier Mausoleum, also known as the Mosque of Sidi Sahab. The mosque and its surrounding complex are still a much venerated pilgrimage site. Most of the existing buildings date from the 17th and 19th centuries. Abu Zama El Belaoui, who was buried here, was one of the companions of the Prophet. He always kept three hairs of the Prophet’s beard with him and hence the tendency to call him the Prophet’s barber.
Visit the Aghlibythes Pools which dip down into the porous rocks far below the city. The cisterns are filled by rain that has been collected from courtyards and rooftops. In the 9th century, the city’s water problem was solved by building a 35 km long aqueduct from the foothills of the Tell Mountains. Many of the pools have since been restored and have been equipped with fountains and lights.
Next is the Medina with its imposing walls and monumental gates. Here you will find hundreds of shops where the world famous Kairouan carpets, made of pure wool, are woven and sold. Since Kairouan is the oldest and most renowned carpet center located in Tunisia, we will stop to admire Tunisian craftsmen as they blend traditional Tunisian patterns.
Visit the medina of Sousse, the third largest city in Tunisia. The distinctive Ribat begun in 821 is the best preserved example of a type of building peculiar to this era in North African history. Being Sousse’s oldest Islamic monument, it was part of a chain of fortresses found along the North African Coast. For a Muslim to serve in a Ribat for a certain number of days was said to guarantee a place in paradise.
Monastir is the birth place of the famous first president Bourghiba. Monastir, once just a fishing port on the Sahel coast and formerly known as Ruspina, served as Julius Caesar’s operation base for his African campaign. A visit will be made to the Castle. The historical monuments of the city are found within the crenellated walls of the Medina and testify to the city’s long lasting importance.
OTHER ONE DAY TRIPS
THE CAP BON Visit Nabeul, the ancient neapolis. Visit Dar Chabane for the stone carvings and the handicrafts. Visit the fishing harbor of Kelibia. Visit Kerkouane, the most famous Punic site of Tunisia. Visit the Punic and Roman stone quarries of Elhaouaria. Visit the orchards of fruit trees.
TWO DAY TRIP
A three day safari to Sbeitla, southwest of Kairouan, to discover the splendor of the ruins of the old roman town of Sufetula. It has been suggested that the Romans built the town which grew more important after El Jem and Sousse rebelled. Our visit to the impressive ruins features such highlights as the great baths, the theater perched above the dry river bed, the 2nd century forum and the amphitheater.
TWO DAY TRIP TO THE SAHARA Visit the roman coliseum of El Jem, the third largest in the world. Visit Matmata the most fabulous of the Berber villages. Visit Douz, the desert’s gate, where one can organize a camel ride on the dunes of the Sahara. Cross the Chott Eljerid, the largest salt lake of the country. Visit the mountainous oases of the Saharan atlas Chebika and Tamerza.Visit Kairouan for religion and for handicrafts

A land of ancient exotica spiced with modern luxury.
Tunisia's list of attractions would do justice to a country twice its size. From the Roman-era hot springs at Hamman Mellegue to the space-age sets of Star Wars (parts of which were filmed at Matmata), its lush-to-lunar landscapes have seen more action than the New World nations combined.
Spend a few days here and you'll agree: daydreaming at the famous Roman ruins of Carthage and El-Jem is almost as good as stepping into Virgil's Aeneid and knocking one back with Dido, while a day's dawdling on the north coast's beaches or those of Jerba Island, the 'Land of the Lotus Eaters', will leave you wondering why Hannibal ever left.
A beautiful very quiet villa near the most beautiful beaches of Tunisia.
WELL FURNISHED WITH HEATING IN WINTER TRANFERS TO AND FROM THE AIRPORT POSSIBLE TO RENT A CAR POSSIBILITY OF FOOD
