Tunis, Tunisia (short layover) 2018

24h layover in Tunis (August 2018)
  • I had the opportunity to spend a full day in Tunis visiting Carthage & Sidi Bou Said  
Main places visited:
  • a) Carthage
  • b) Sidi Bou Said  
  • c) La Marsa beach
a) Carthage:
  • Carthage was one the most important cities in the Mediterranean history and some ancient ruins are preserve
  • The ruins are not in best condition but most are located by the beautiful coast


  • The Acropolium (Saint Louis Cathedral), no longer for worship since 1993, is nearby
  • As well as Al Abidine mosque
b) Sidi Bou Said:
  • This beautiful coastal village was the highlight of the trip




  • I had one my the best tea I have ever had (mint tea with pine nuts) with wonderful views

  • Under the hill (15 minutes walk) you can also enjoy a swim by the beach right next to the port

  • We had dinner with great views (as you can expect, prices are muxh more expensive than 1km further from the coast) and we enjoyed traditional Tunisian cuisine such as brik, couscous or kabkabou
c) La Marsa beach:
  • Next day morning I had time to enjoy a swim in La Marsa beach before leaving


  • I am looking forward to travel around Tunisia properly but  hope this short post helps
