3 Days Tunisia Tour – Carthage, Kairouan, Desert Ruins & Medina Streets

Upon arrival at Tunis–Carthage International Airport, your local guide will greet you and begin the tour with a short drive to the ruins of ancient Carthage. Once the center of the Phoenician empire, Carthage offers views of Roman baths, amphitheaters, and harbors that once stood as symbols of power and trade.

After your historical tour, continue to Sidi Bou Said, a coastal hilltop town famous for its whitewashed buildings, blue doors, and flowered balconies. Enjoy time to stroll through cobbled streets, browse local shops, and sip mint tea overlooking the Mediterranean Sea.

Check in to your hotel in Tunis. Depending on your arrival time, you may also visit the Bardo National Museum, which houses one of the world’s best collections of Roman mosaics.

Dinner at a local Tunisian restaurant or your hotel. Overnight in Tunis.

After breakfast, set out for a full-day excursion to Kairouan, one of Islam’s holiest cities and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Visit the Great Mosque of Kairouan, built in the 7th century and considered one of the oldest and most important Islamic sites in North Africa.

Continue to the Aghlabid Basins, a series of ancient water reservoirs, and explore the medina of Kairouan, where you can shop for traditional carpets, ceramics, and sweets such as the famed "makroudh."

Enjoy lunch at a local restaurant before returning toward the coast. If time permits, stop in Sousse, known for its long beaches and old city walls.

Check in to your hotel in Sousse or Hammamet for dinner and overnight stay.

After breakfast, travel to El Djem, home to one of the best-preserved Roman amphitheaters in the world. This grand structure once seated 35,000 spectators and rivals the Colosseum in Rome in both scale and preservation.

Explore the underground chambers and climb the arena walls for panoramic views. Afterwards, visit the El Djem Museum, which houses mosaics and statues from surrounding Roman villas.

After lunch, return to Tunis for your onward flight or drop-off at your hotel if extending your stay.

This concludes your 3-day Tunisia tour, a brief but rich journey through the nation’s ancient ruins, religious landmarks, and vibrant coastal towns.
