For such a tiny country - the smallest in North Africa - Tunisia packs a lot in. It is a truly kaleidos-copic nation, ranging from Mediterranean beaches to the Sahara desert, from ancient souks to Star Wars film sets. This Arab-Berber nation is one of the most liberal in the Islamic world; alcohol is freely available and women need not feel intimidated. The capital, Tunis, reflects the country's diversity. Its French colonial past has a far-reaching in-fluence (it only gained independence in 1956), most obviously in its cuisine that blends sophistica-ted French styles with Arab spice. Older history is evident in the remains of what was Roman Car-thage, while the Roman ruins at Dougga and El Jem are some of the finest in Africa. Venture to the Western mountains and trek in some of the most beautiful evergreens before continuing on to the desert across Chott el Jerid, the salt-encrusted lake from bygone eras when water covered the land. Finally arriving at a desert oasis for a three-hour camel ride before conti-nuing tour the historic and cultural sites of Tunisia. The country's cuisine is also a delicious hotchpotch - French, North African, Middle Eastern and Turkish.

Bourguiba Airport - Sfax-Thyna Airport - Tozeur-Nefta Airport - Tabarka - 7 Novembre Int´l Airport When to Go: May to October, unless you're planning to go to the Sahara Desert, then go Novem-ber to February.

Tunisia is a safe and friendly country in North Africa.

The Sahara Desert attracts adventure seekers during the winter months. Southern Tunisia is where George Lucas filmed many of his Star Wars movies, he used the natural landscape and traditional Berber villages (some underground)

Find your way to Tunis' Zitouna Mosque. Accessible to non-Muslims, a sudden peaceful expanse of space arises in the midst of the medina's frantic souks. • Visit the one of the world's greatest collections of Roman mosaics at the Bardo Museum (website: www.di.com.tn/museebardo). Situated in a 17th-century palace, the museum includes archaeological riches from the Carthaginian, Roman, early Christian and Islamic eras. • Explore the remains of a great ancient civilization: founded by the Phoenicians in 814BC, Car-thage was razed by the Romans who rebuilt it into the third-largest city in the Roman Empire, before it was again destroyed by the Arabs in AD692. • Get pleasantly lost in the whitewashed medina of the holy city of Kairouan (website: www.kairouan.org), where there are more than 50 mosques. The Great Mosque of Sidi Oqba in the medina's northeast corner is North Africa's oldest mosque and holiest site. • See the magnificent Roman site of Dougga, which enjoys a lofty setting 96km (60 miles) south-west of Tunis. The hilltop city had a population of up to 10,000, and its well-preserved ruins give a tantalizing glimpse of how the Romans lived. • Wander around the remarkable remains of UNESCO-listed Kerkouane (website: www.kerkouane.net), the world's best preserved Punic site. The ruins lie on a beautiful, remote stretch of coast, 8km (5 miles) north of Kélibia. Destroyed in 236BC, it was unearthed in 1952. • Imagine the roar of the crowd at UNESCO-listed El-Jem, a Roman colosseum to rival that in Ro-me. It had a capacity of 30,000, more than the population of the wealthy town (ancient Thysdrus) it dominated. • Go underground at Matmata. Here the Berbers found an ingenious way to beat the summer heat, by burrowing into the earth. Many of the troglodyte houses - cave complexes surrounding underground courtyards - are still inhabited, and some are now hotels. • See another subterranean world at Bulla Regia, a Roman site. Here the Romans also used un-derground architecture as a way of keeping cool when the sun was hot. The site offers a rare chance to explore complete Roman rooms. • Spend a day in Sousse, formerly one of the Phoenicians' great coastal cities, falling to Arab in-vaders in the seventh century. Of the new city, constructed by the Arabs in AD790, several rem-

Soussa / Port El Kantaoui Sousse is built around a busy commercial port at the Southern end of the Gulf of Hammamet. 30km from Monastir airport and 140km from the Tunisian capital of Tunis. Known for its ancient walled city, (Medina), the resort of Sousse attracts families and young couples looking for a bud-get holiday break. Guests are predominantly French, German and British. The resort extends along the coastal road for a number of miles and consists of many properties from 2* apartments to 5* luxury hotels, many with their own spas and private reserved sections of beach. The white sand beach stretches for approximately 8km to the neighbouring resort of Port El Kantaoui. The town centre offers a host of souvenir, leather and ceramics shops and most hotels have their own shops too. For those wanting to haggle there is a weekly market in the Medina which is worth a visit. Eating out is no problem with a good choice of cafes and restaurants serving various inter-national cuisines. Nightlife is relatively low key as is centred around the discos/bars of the bigger hotels. Taxis are cheap and easily available. A minitrain runs hourly between Sousses and Port El Kan-taoui, and there is an irregular bus service to other resorts. Horse and carriage rides available on the main coast road and trains to Monastir, Hammamet, Sfax and Tunis.

Hammamet: Hammamet is possibly the best-known resort in Tunisia. It has changed greatly from the small fis-hing village it once was, evolving into a sought-after holiday resort in the 1920’s. Known as the ‘garden resort’ it is backed by olive, orange and lemon groves and lines of cypress trees. Hammamet’s centre is a miniature cape jutting out into the sea with the well preserved 13th cen-tury Kasbah offering pleasing views over the gleaming domes of the Medina (the old walled city) and the white sands of the coastline. The newer quarters of Hammamet with shops, cafés and restaurants spread out from the Medina. Eating out For refined Tunisian food with a French influence, try Les Trois Moutons or Dar Lella restaurants. Reasonably priced snacks are available in the cafés in the town centre. Afterwards head for one of the open-air nightclubs.

Nabeul:

Known for its superb beaches, bargain-packed market and Ottoman influenced ceramics, Nabeul

is a highly popular tourist spot for the whole of Tunisia.

Hugging the Cap Bon stunning coastline, this bustling centre provides superb sightseeing and ex-

cellent shopping for its multitude of visitors.

Its famous Friday market sells everything from spices to silver spoons and its sprawling ancient

medina holds scores of shops and ceramic workshops in its narrow alleyways.

The town’s grand oleander lined Avenue Bourguiba runs from the centre down to the sea boasting

beautiful villas, wonderful shops and the superb Archeology museum.

Historical sites: In Nabeul’s suburbs you can still see the stunning Roman ruins of Neapolis and

discover the sacred Islamic architecture of the Great Mosque hidden behind the souk’s arcades.

Getting around: Because Nebeul is a crucial busy centre for Cap Bon and is a large sprawling

town. Walking can be difficult with the crowds but taxis are plentiful and there are the delightful

horse drawn caleches to take you around. A main station, two bus stations and two lounge sta-

tions service the whole of the area.

Djerba: Djerba is blessed with soft sandy beaches and a clear turquoise sea. The best beaches are on the northeast coast, but most are privately owned by the resort hotels in the Zone Touristique, All the hotels offer a wide variety of watersports including wind-surfing, water-skiing, jet-skiing ... Beyond the beach: The white-washed town of Houmt Souk, with its narrow alleys of souks and souvenir shops, has interesting Djerban architecture, particularly the mosques and the funduqs (inns). The Museum of Popular Arts allows an insight into the island's traditions. A 25-minute walk from the centre is the picturesque fishing port, which is at its busiest early morning. The true soul of the island lies inland. The Synagogue of el-Ghriba in er-Riadh, 7km (4 miles) south of Houmt Souk, is the oldest in North Africa, and it contains what is presumed to be the world's oldest Torah. Guellala has an interesting Folkloric Museum and several potteries. The island's second largest town, Midoun, is a quieter and smaller version of Houmt Souk. Exploring further afield: The region around Tataouine has several ruined hilltop villages with ksour (fortified strongholds), including Ksar Haddada, the old village of Guermessa and the most pictu-resque of all, Chenini. Medenine has a Sunday market and a few abandoned ksour in its surroun-dings. Slightly further away is Matmata with its troglodyte dwellings that featured in Star Wars.

Skanes & Monastir:

Monastir is privileged as the birth-place of former President Bourguiba. Located near the site of

the Roman town Ruspina, it is typically Arab in atmosphere and surrounded by a wall and battle-

ments with small square towers. The Ribat may look familiar as it has been used in the making of

several films, including Monty Python's Life of Brian and the Raiders of the Lost Ark as well as the

TV series Jesus of Nazareth. A modern marina and a very different looking Medina compliment the

list of amenities.

Mahdia: South of Monastir is the coastal resort and port of Mahdia, ancient capital of the Fatamid dynasty. Situated outside the town along reputedly one of Tunisia's finest stretches of beach are several modern hotels. Mahdia is traditionally a place to stay in the summer and here you can relax free of commercialization and enjoy a beach holiday just watching the world go by. At night you can take in the colourful procession of fishing boats carrying lanterns and by day enjoy freshly caught fish in the working port at one of the reasonably priced restaurants. Mahdia is now the most im-portant port for sponge and blue fish.

Tunis: Ideal for a short break: Tunis, capital of Tunisia, is a dynamic city where history and modernity intertwine. The Medina - historic centre and UNESCO World Heritage Site - with its winding streets, vaulted passageways and impressive monu-ments has remained largely unchanged for 500 years. The animated souks surrounding the prestigious 9th century Zitouna Mosque offer the opportunity to haggle for gold, perfume and many other souvenirs. Enjoy sumptuous restaurants and panoramic views of old Tunis from the rooftop terraces in the Medina.

Tabarka:

Close to the borders of Algeria and fronting on to the Mediterranean is one of Tunisia's newest dis-

coveries, Tabarka. A combination of sea and mountain has given this region the name Green Tuni-

sia. The recently developed resort of Tabarka is built around a stylish marina, Porto Corallo, and

the superb Montazah beach of fine golden sand situated some 4 kms from the old town. Many of

the towns houses together with a 16th century Genoese fort overlook the city and the needles,

sea eroded monolithic rocks. Add to this a magnificent golf course, the best diving in Tunisia, a

backdrop of mountains and forest and you have the perfect ingredients for a quite different holi-

day in this intriguing country. This is a region that needs exploring by car and we strongly recom-

mend you hire one for the overall enjoyment of your holiday. During the summer and for one

week only, Tabarka plays host to an international jazz festival with artists appearing from all over

the world. In September another event, 'Coralis', is a festival of diving and underwater photogra-

phy.

Tozeur: Fed by hundreds of gushing underground streams, oases are magical spots endowed with refres-hing orchards and dashed with the green of palm trees laiden with large golden dates. Here you will feel a million miles away from life as you know it, in a paradised setting, where through man's patience, life was born in the heart of the desert. And yet no two oases are ever the same! In Tozeur and Nefta, vast palm groves strech majestically along the barren plateaux, whilst in the Atlas mountains, fragile oases grow at the foot of the imposing mountain-sides. Situated on the edge of the Sahara, Tunisia's hospitable oases provide a thoroughly fulfilling experience.

lot to see including a theatre, temple, public baths, and the Libyco-Punic Mausoleum. Dougga is

usually visited in conjunction with Bulla Regia during a one day excursion. A 30~45 minute stop

on the way at the Andalusia village of Testour is highly advisable, especially on market day

(Friday).Afternoon continuation to Bulla Regia, this town's name comes from a combination of

Bulla (Berber name signifying 'lowlands' or 'valley') and Regia (meaning 'royal' - Numidian kings

resided in this city). Its unique Roman houses, equipped with an underground floor to escape the

heat of the summer, make it one of the most interesting sites. The main attraction is the nicely

preserved mosaics that decorate the floors of the houses (especially Maison D'Amphitrite).Located

in the northwest of Tunisia, Bulla Regia lies in the Medjerda Valley surrounded by mountains and

can become incredibly hot during summer. Since this building style is unique in the Roman Empi-

re, it is assumed that the Romans likely borrowed the idea from the Berbers. Bulla Regia was lo-

cated on a main road linking the important harbours of Carthage and Hippo Radius (now called

Anabas - in Algeria). Many travellers stopped in along the way.

Given that Bulla Regia was initially Numidian, the oldest elements of the city do not follow the Ro-

man grid system. Quarters built later-on show the characteristic Roman regularity.

Description :

Dougga One of the biggest and best-preserved of all the Roman sites in Africa. Dougga was a thri-

ving town for several hundred years before the arrival of the Romans in the 2nd century AD, but it

was under them that it grew and prospered. There is an impressive theatre with seats for 3.500

people.

The road beyond leads to the splendid portico of the Capitoline Temple, which overlooks the Squa-

re of the Winds. Downhill from the Capitol are the sprawling ruins of the Baths of Licinius, which

have a well-preserved central hall, bathing pools, service tunnels and a hypocaust (under-floor

heating) system.
