Tunisian Mosaic

Tunisia has much to offer those looking for a destination rich in history and culture as well as some relaxation in a fine hotel. Behind its glorious coast lie the remains of Roman cities, Islamic architecture and Berber villages and this stay at a coastal hotel near the well-located town of Sousse combines an introduction to Tunisia’s Cathaginian, Roman and Arab heritage with time to relax or undertake independent exploration.

The old town of Sousse reveals traces of its history with its fortified Ribat, medina walls and museum second only to the Bardo in the quality of its mosaics. The Islamic heritage is best revealed in Kairouan, a UNESCO World Heritage site.

The Roman Heritage is revealed in El Djem, the Roman Empire’s biggest colosseum, as well as the mosaics of the Bardo, Carthage, El Djem and Sousse. A highlight of this arrangement is the remains of Carthage, and a visit to the famous Bardo museum in Tunis, pausing in the attractive village of Sidi Bou Said.
