Tunisia: From the Mediterranean to the Sahara

Visit Africa’s largest country and marvel at ancient Roman ruins that will instantly transport you back in time. Begin in Algiers, the country’s capital and most-populous city, and discover the Kasbah of Algiers—a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Delve into the culture of a country that gained its independence from France only in 1962 as you get to know its people, like during a Home-Hosted Lunch with a local family. Witness majestic arches at Djemila, some of the best preserved Roman ruins in North Africa, and continue on to Constantine, the “City of Bridges.” Discover this natural fortress, which was carved out by the Rhumel River, where you’ll visit one of the world’s largest mosques and the ancient Roman ruins of Tiddis. It’s all here in Algeria, waiting to be explored.

Please Note: Current security restrictions by the Algerian government require there be a police escort accompanying our group during visits to sites and while driving to and from these activities. During Ramadan, the general pacing is often slower throughout the daytime. Shops may open later in the afternoon and religious fasting may affect restaurant availability during breakfast and lunch hours. Local activity tends to return to its usual vibrancy following the daily sunset meal.
