8 th Day |
After breakfast ,visit
of the historic sites of ( Punic Ports , Antonius Pius Baths , Roman
amphitheatre and Villas , Punic cemetry )
Carthage is
delenda. And they really did,- destroy Carthage. It is hard to imagine that
this place housed the most beautiful and the richest sea port of ancient times,
lasting for centuries until the destruction by the Romans in 146 BC. Carthage
was destroyed simply because this capital had a tendency of surviving anything,
and as it almost changed world history in the century before, Rome could not
rest until three years of destruction, ending in 17 days of conflagration, had
wiped Carthage out.
For a change of pace and a late lunch, you will drive to Sidi
Bou Said, a charming Andalou village on a cliff overlooking the
sea.
Walk in the picturesque village of Sidi Bou Said . After tasting the traditional green tea with mint.
Lovers' walk Sidi Bou said is one of those tourist traps, that retains its charm no matter how many loud-talking tourists walk the streets. Sidi Bou Said is really just the one main road, going up the hill, have some vendors, selling handicrafts or sweets, but their business seems to run well, and they keep a low profile, as they have understood that keeping the atmosphere up, si the best way of marketing. The marina is quite good, and walking around you pass a couple of yachts big as houses. The stairs going down from the mountain where the village itself lies, goes through green and luscious vegetation, but is sadly destroyed by litter. The best thing to do here, though, is relaxing in one of the nice cafes. OK on both, but even if nothing is cheap, value for money is surprisingly Good.
After Launch , transfer to Tunis-Carthage International Airport. Assistance to the departure .
some travelers may want to linger on to discover the fortified cities along the Mediterranean coast, such as Monastir, Hammamet,Port El Kantaoui or Sousse...it is so easy to want to stay in Tunisia.
