Things to do in Carthage, Tunis Governorate: The Best Cultural Tours
With a history stretching back nearly three millennia, Carthage was once the heart of a powerful Mediterranean empire before being leveled by the Romans in the Third Punic War in 146 BC. It sprang from the ashes to become an important early Christian center before again being destroyed by Islamic invaders in the late 7th century. Now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Carthage is a short train ride from Tunis and has several interesting attractions, like the Punic port and the Carthage Museum.

A great guide with excellent local knowledge. As a female lone traveller, I felt very comfortable and could freely ask questions; Nadhmi also offered the right amount of space to explore freely. Nadhmi is not just a guide but was really helpful in just getting your bearings: I was based in Tunis (which his not the easiest place to navigate), I was advised to get a sim card which proved invaluable. He really cares that you have an enjoyable experience, made helpful suggestions and of course things to avoid. No reflection on the guide by the system of booking: once your trip is confirmed have a conversation and double check your location with your guide just to make sure your location is where you think it is. Nadhmi is an excellent guide and would highly recommend. Thank you!
3. Archaelogical Site Of Carthage + Picturesque Village Of Sidi Bou Said
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 4 reviews
Departure to Carthage, founded by the Phoenicians in 814 BC. The earliest settlements of Punic Carthage can sill be seen on Byrsa Hill, just below the renowed Carthage National Museum. Although destroyed by the Romans in 146BC and later built over by them, recent excavation has revealed the foundations of five-story Punic houses, each with its own cistern and drainage system. The most remarkable early remains are the two basins of the Punic Ports, an evidence of the Carthaginian’ mastery of the sea, which fascinated and frustrated the Romans. Another important site of pre-roman Carthage is the Tophet. Sidi Bou said: Perched high atop of a cliff overlooking the Mediterranean, this picturesque village is a delightful place for a leisurely stroll through winding cobbled streets. Its trademark white walls, contrasting sky blue doors and ornate window grids, make for a wonderfully inspiring setting. Wander around the boutiques for souvenirs or relax at a cliff-side Moorish café.
Inclusions: Private transportation, Air-conditioned vehicle, Entrance fees, Tour Condition : Minimum payment of 02 Participants.
Exclusions: Lunch, Drinks, Tips

Often seen as simply a beach destination, Tunisia has a bucketful of surprising tourist attractions and things to do for those that venture off the sandy shores. This is North Africa wrapped up into one bite-sized package, with vast Sahara dunes, mammoth ancient ruins, and exotic cities that are home to a sprawling tangle of souks. Tunisia was Rome's breadbasket, and the cultural riches the Romans left behind are more than enough reason to visit. But the history of Arab Empires has also bestowed the country with some of the region's most beautiful examples of Islamic architecture. When you've craned your neck at Kairouan's minarets and played gladiator at El Djem, it's time to head into the Sahara to sample the raw, empty beauty of the desert. The sun-soaked beaches of the Mediterranean coastline, fringed by palms and lapped by gentle waves, will still be waiting for you when you get back.
