My trip to Tunisia: the escape I will never forget

Why Tunisia is a unique destination

Green Tunisia—that’s how people call it. A country that rivals the French Riviera with the beauty of its beaches, outshines the Greek islands with the charm of its villages and alleys, and competes with Rome through the richness of its ancient ruins. The moment I set foot there, I understood why so many travelers keep coming back.

Must-sees: My favorite places in Tunisia

Tunis, the Vibrant Capital

You can’t visit Tunisia without exploring Tunis. Its UNESCO-listed medina, museums, historical mosques, and artisan shops offer an open-air cultural experience. Getting lost in its alleyways is pure magic.

Sousse, where sea meets history

I loved strolling along Sousse’s beaches and visiting its archaeological museum, home to one of the world’s richest collections of Roman mosaics. A city where past and present intertwine.

Sfax, the authentic soul

Sfax gave me a glimpse into the real Tunisian lifestyle: bustling souks, flavorful food, ancient buildings, and views of the Gulf of Gabès.

Kairouan, the spiritual city

Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Kairouan is one of the oldest Islamic cities. Its mosques, alleyways, and traditions make it a place full of memory and emotion.

Sidi Bou Said, a mediterranean dream

This blue-and-white cliffside village completely won me over. Flower-lined streets, sea views, and a vibrant artistic vibe—perfect for a romantic or reflective getaway.

Monastir, Turquoise waters & phoenician roots

Surrounded by the sea, this historical peninsula is home to the Ribat of Monastir, one of the oldest fortresses in North Africa. Its golden beaches provided moments of pure escape.

Hammamet, the relaxing gem

I enjoyed its calm beaches, wandered through the old medina, and admired Roman ruins along the sea. A true haven of peace.

Bizerte, pure nature

With beaches, coves, forests, and lush fields, Bizerte is a hidden gem. Far from the crowds, close to the essence.
