🕌 “Secrets of the Medina – A Journey Through the Heart of Tunis” 🧭 

Step into the labyrinth of the Medina of Tunis, where every narrow alley hides a story and every archway echoes with centuries of history. Join me on a journey where the past is alive, the colors are vibrant, and the scent of spices fills the air. This isn’t just a tour — it’s a time-traveling experience into the soul of Tunisia. 

We begin at Bab El Bhar (the Sea Gate), the symbolic entrance to the old city. From there, we dive into the maze of winding streets and hidden gems:

✨ The majestic Zitouna Mosque, the spiritual heart of the Medina

🧵 Traditional souks (markets) where artisans still craft perfumes, leather, copper, and textiles by hand
 
📚 Stories of scholars, sultans, revolutionaries, and everyday Tunisians that bring these walls to life 

We’ll finish near the Kasbah Square, where old meets new and you’ll have a perfect view to reflect on the journey — or continue exploring on your own with my personal recommendations for food, tea, and local crafts. 

Why is this tour different? Because I’m not just showing you places — I’m sharing memories, mysteries, and moments that you won’t find in a guidebook. My passion is helping travelers feel the magic of the Medina as locals do.

We’ll begin our tour at the Tophet, a sacred area associated with the Punic religion, where urns containing the remains of infants and animals were buried. It is believed to have been a site of offerings to the deities Tanit and Baal Hammon.

Next, we’ll visit the Punic ports—an ingenious harbor system consisting of a commercial port and a circular military port. These structures played a central role in Carthage’s prominence as a maritime power in the Mediterranean.

We’ll then explore the Magon Quarter, a former residential area that also served a defensive function. Excavations here have revealed remains of Punic houses and sections of the city wall, offering insight into Carthaginian urban planning.

Finally, we’ll head to the archaeological park of the Antonine Baths. Built during the Roman period, these baths are among the largest in Africa and provide a striking example of Roman public architecture and engineering. The site includes ruins of bathing rooms, columns, and seaside terraces.

On this day trip to northern Tunisia, you'll discover unique places like Útica, Ghar el-Melh, Bizerte, Cape Angela, and Ichkeul National Park.

On this 3-day tour of Tunisia, you'll explore the country by quad and visit the oasis of Ksar Ghiline, the dunes of Tembaine, and the amphitheater in El Djem.
