Tunisia runs from the ancient ruins of Carthage to the dunes of the Sahara, and a program crosses most of it. Mediterranean mornings at Carthage and the blue-and-white lanes of Sidi Bou Saïd; the Bardo Museum’s Roman mosaics, the finest collection in the world; the UNESCO medinas of Tunis and Kairouan; then south through the oases to the desert.
Programs take in Kairouan’s Great Mosque and a carpet-weaving workshop with local artisans, the mountain oases of Chebika, Tamerza and Ong Jemal, the salt-lake mirages of Chott El Jerid and a night under the stars near Douz. Further on: the troglodyte dwellings of Matmata, Djerba’s El Ghriba synagogue and the street art of Djerbahood, El Jem’s Roman amphitheatre and the Hammamet coast. French is spoken throughout.
