Relax for a panoramic drive for a drive that will take your breath away – welcome to the scenic voyage from La Goulette to Tunis. Tracing the Mediterranean coastline, you’ll catch glimpses of azure waters mixed with a gentle breeze as you head into the heart of Tunisia’s capital where sites of historical significance await.
En route to Bourguiba Avenue, you'll see St. Vincent's Cathedral, the Tunis Theatre, and the January 14th Square. You'll pass through the modern part of Tunis, heading to the entrance of the medina (Old Town). Watch for the kasbah (fort) and Belvedere Park. The road leads through Gammarth, passing by La Marsa on the way to Sidi Bou Said – a whitewashed village perched on the hillside above the blue Mediterranean.
Contemplate the significant history of this area during a short stop at the American World War II Cemetery.
You will then pass the ancient city of Carthage, the Tophet, and the Punic Ports. In the Magon district, you'll glimpse the Antonine Baths and Byrsa Hill.
Snap a photo of Saint Louis' Cathedral before heading back to the ship.
Please note: Glimpses of Antonine Baths may be limited due to high walls and trees around the perimeter. Participants are welcome to stay on the motorcoach at any restroom or photo stops. Modest attire is required; knees, shoulders and midriffs must be covered; shorts and short skirts are not allowed. Wear comfortable walking shoes.
