Highlights

Carthage was the capital of ancient Rome's greatest rival and the site of a titanic clash of civilisations. Today, its ruins bear testament to Rome's ultimate victory as you'll discover during this tour, which also takes in Sidi Bou Said. Exploring the site with a guide gives you the historical background and the local perspective on the story of Carthage. You'll see ruins such as the Baths of Antoninus, which were the largest thermal baths in the Roman Empire. Have a look around the amphitheatre and the Tophet sacrificial site before taking a break for lunch. After a traditional Tunisian local lunch, you'll visit Sidi Bou Said, a clifftop village of cobbled alleys fringed by whitewashed houses with sky-blue doors and window shutters. The blue and white colour scheme has echoes of the Greek islands, and contrasts nicely with the sea beyond. You'll discover the town's history and find out why so many artists have called it home over the years.

About Hammamet

Hammamet is a Tunisian beach resort on a gulf of the same name, with a walled medina and kasbah on the sea, white sand and jasmine-scented gardens.

Hammamet sits on the Gulf of Hammamet on the east coast of Tunisia, at the base of the Cap Bon peninsula. Its walled medina, with whitewashed lanes and a kasbah dating from the fifteenth century, stands right on the sea, and long beaches of fine sand stretch away on both sides. Yasmine Hammamet, a newer resort district with a marina, lies to the south.
