Elegant Tunisia Tour - Turkish Airlines (New Year’s Special)
Day 1 ISTANBUL – TUNIS – NABEUL – HAMMAMET
We meet three hours prior to departure at the international departures terminal of Istanbul New Airport. After luggage check-in, ticketing, and boarding procedures, we begin our flight to Tunis with Turkish Airlines. Upon arrival at Tunis Airport, we transfer to our waiting private bus and proceed with our city tour. During the city tour, you will feel like you are in France as we visit Bourguiba Avenue, the 19th-century Aziz Vincent de Paul Cathedral, the statue of Ibn Khaldun, one of the famous Arab scholars of the Middle Ages, and the clock tower, which is considered an icon of Tunis. Then, we depart for Nabeul. In Nabeul, known as the capital of ceramics and pottery art, we stroll through the city's mystical streets and see objects unique to Tunisia such as copper, leather, embroidery, and cradle work. Afterwards, we head to Hammamet, often called Tunisia's Saint-Tropez, known for its long, clean beaches and deep blue sea, as well as its magnificent parks, luxury gardens, fortress walls, streets, and the large mosque that preserves the city’s rich history.

It ranks third after those in Rome and Verona in the Roman Empire. It is considered the last of the large Roman amphitheaters built during the Roman period, with an architectural design that is an improved version of the Colosseum in Rome.

Carthage hosts numerous ancient structures, ruins, thermal baths, temples, and walls that reflect its rich history.
