For the longest time, Tunisia was merely seen as a beach destination without much else to offer. However, today the nation is renowned for its beaches as well as the attractions that bring so much joy to anyone who visits this stunning nation. Tunisia has it all!
This relic of the Roman era is a true reminder of the grandeur of those bygone times. With the walls of the amphitheatre making all the modern structures that surround it seem diminutive in comparison, this is a major sightseeing attraction in Tunisia.
If you are making a day trip from any of the Tunisia resorts such as The Residence Tunis, this location is likely to be one of the top places you will visit on your journey.
To walk through the halls of this amphitheatre is akin to walking through the annals of time. Past the stairs that long gone gladiators walked or to the top of the area for a good look at the week's entertainment. This amphitheatre was a large part of the culture and entertainment during the time that the Roman empire had its hand in North Africa.
Much like in any other beach paradise there is an opportunity for people to simply let go of their worries and completely unwind. There is something about the salty wind, the sway of the palm trees and the way the ocean laps at the golden shores that speaks a universal language understood by people across the world. It is time to relax!
If you are looking for your ideal beach getaway, then there is no better option than the wonderful Djerba beach. Located on an island just off the coast of Tunisia, this place offers visitors everything they can ask for.
Another major reason for travellers to flock to Djerba is the island town called Houmt Souk. This is where visitors can get the opportunity to look through all the wonderful things for sale by local vendors and then enjoy an afternoon of shopping and haggling.
Here lie the ruins of what was once one of Rome's greatest rivals. With the manpower and resources to become a regional player, the Phoenicians were a part of a great nation. Today their city lies mostly in ruin. With their names forever embossed into the walls of history from the end of the Punic Wars, this ancient town now is a part of the environment and a backdrop in the suburbs of Tunis.
If you are in Tunisia, then you are in luck! One of North Africa's greatest museums can be found here for people to explore to their heart's content. Filled with massive mosaics, beautifully crafted, it is home to one of the most important collections of mosaic artwork in the world.
You have likely seen this quaint location popularized on Instagram for its very social media-friendly façade thanks to the architectural style that has been used to create it. With this huge artistic appeal, it is now the perfect place to lounge in luxury during any visit to Tunisia.
