Enjoy FREE singles on the main trip for a savings up to $350, plus new for 2010, free singles on all pre and post extensions.

Join OAT in Tunisia for a small group revelation of the mystery and romance of this North African crossroads of history, from the ruins of ancient Carthage to the whispering sands of the Sahara. Here the Romans left many impressive legacies ... the rulers of desert empires built magnificent mosques ... and Americans forged a special connection during World War II. Today, Tunisian artisans ply their crafts in exotic kasbahs and medinas where narrow lanes snake between white-domed buildings that gleam in the sun. We'll explore this fascinating land and its surprising diversity in true OAT style, from its rich Mediterranean coast to Saharan oases deep in the interior. Along the way we'll meet Tunisians and experience their culture-a bit of the Arab world with a French twist-under the expert guidance of our resident Trip Leader. It's a grand adventure in a discovery-rich land!
