AvailableWe meet at the international departures terminal of Istanbul New Airport three hours before departure. After baggage, ticketing and boarding procedures, we begin our flight to Tunis on a scheduled Turkish Airlines service. Upon arrival at Tunis Airport, we board our private coach waiting at the airport and begin exploring Tunisia’s rich history. Our first stop is El Jem Amphitheatre, which has survived from the Roman Empire and is one of North Africa’s most impressive ancient structures. Used for gladiatorial contests and various performances during Roman times, El Jem Amphitheatre is one of the region’s most important historic monuments, with its magnificent architecture and immense size. After visiting the amphitheatre, we head towards the Mediterranean coast. Later in the day, we travel to the Mahdia or Sousse area, where we will stay overnight. Transfer to the hotel and free time to relax. Dinner and overnight accommodation at our hotel.
After breakfast at the hotel, we head south through Tunisia. At the end of our journey, we arrive on Djerba Island, considered one of the jewels of the Mediterranean. We begin our island tour in Djerba, one of Tunisia’s most distinctive regions. We explore the island’s traditional architecture, whitewashed houses, local life and unique atmosphere.

After breakfast at the hotel, we leave Djerba and embark on an unforgettable journey towards Tunisia’s desert region. Our first stop is Matmata, famous for its distinctive underground houses. In this region shaped by Berber culture, we see troglodyte homes, significant examples of traditional life. Carved into rock and underground, these houses provide a natural living environment suited to the region’s hot climate. After our visit to Matmata, we depart for Douz, known as the gateway to the desert. In Douz, one of the main centres of the Tunisian Sahara, we experience the region’s desert atmosphere up close. We then travel to Tozeur amid the Sahara’s impressive landscapes. After our safari tour, we reach the Star Wars film set, where we step into a science-fiction universe in the middle of the desert. The mystical atmosphere of the Sahara Desert has created a unique world that brought the famous film’s iconic scenes to life. Offering film fans the feeling of travelling through time, this set immerses you in the world of science fiction. After our tour, transfer to our hotel and free time. Dinner and overnight accommodation at our hotel.

Known for its historic medina, city walls and traditional markets, Sousse offers an opportunity for a brief exploration and free time. Following our tour, we depart for Hammamet, one of Tunisia’s most popular coastal destinations. Upon arrival, we begin our city tour. Sights include the historic seaside Hammamet Medina, the walled old town and Hammamet Fort.

We then visit the Bardo Museum, one of Tunisia’s cultural treasures. Displaying important artefacts from the Roman, Carthaginian and Islamic periods, the museum is particularly renowned for its mosaic collections.
