Discover Tunisia
A 10-Day Exploration of Tunisia’s History, Culture and Beauty
Curated by
Ann Chamberlin
Tunisia’s history is deep and rich. Carthage, near Tunis, was established by the Phoenicians in 814 BCE and was a major hub of their empire for hundreds of years. Later it was conquered by the Romans, followed by Vandals, Byzantines and Arabs. The influence of these cultures can be seen everywhere. In the North, you’ll find numerous well-preserved archaeological sites from all these empires. In the South, the Sahara Desert is still home to many Berbers, descendants of the original settlers of the area. Many of these Berber villages will be familiar to Star Wars fans, as several of the films were made here. No matter where you are, you will feel the warm and gracious hospitality of the Tunisian people.
