Reasons To
Visit Tunisia

  • Arab & Islamic history

    Kairouan is one of the holiest cities in Islam and the Great Mosque in the town's medina is a place of beauty and tranquility. Turkish influence can also be seen in the family homes of the Tunis medina and in the intricate palace buildings of the Bardo Museum.

  • Berber Architecture

    The villages in southern Tunisia are home to some ingenious local architecture. The village of Matmata features troglodyte dwellings, where rooms are several metres below ground level, whilst the ksours such as at Tataouine were used for storage, as defensive positions and for habitation.

  • Classical History

    The Carthaginian and Roman ruins in Tunisia often play second fiddle to the superb beaches, which is a great shame. The grand amphitheatre of El Jem and other impressive sites such as Kerkouane, Bulla Regia, Sbeitla and Dougga really are remarkable attractions, fully deserving of a place on your itinerary.

  • Countryside & Nature

    To many visitors from Europe, Tunisia's countryside is surprisingly green, and its Roman sites are an absolute delight in the spring months when the wildflowers are in bloom. The freshwater lakes and salt-flats are stopping-off points for migratory birds and offer excellent opportunities for birdwatching.

    Countryside & Nature

  • Desert

    In the deep south west of the country are the edges of the Sahara Desert, a landscape of dunes, camels and stark mountains and canyons. The desert requires an investment of time and effort to explore, but will reward you with solitude and stunning scenery.

  • Medinas

    The medinas of Tunisia are the walled hearts of the towns, where the oldest souqs, mosques, streets and traditional houses are to be found. Their whitewashed walls and ornate doors and windows offer perfect opportunities for the keen photographer, while the shady streets and covered souqs give respite from the North African sun.

Dar Said

Sidi Bou Said

A majestically authentic maison de charme, the Dar Said proudly stands in the heart of the quaint village of Sidi Bou Said, from which it is ideal to explore what Tunisia’s northern coast has to offer.

Dar Said was originally a middle-class residence dating back to the middle of the nineteenth century, and has been lovingly looked after as a hotel.

With just twenty four rooms, the hotel retains a quiet and intimate atmosphere which guests will enjoy immensely, and there is also a hammam in which one can relax, as well as a small pool with an open terrace looking out on to the Mediterranean.
