Tunisia puts Roman ruins, Mediterranean beaches and desert within a few hours of each other. Carthage and the mosaics at the Bardo museum sit near Tunis, the amphitheatre at El Djem is inland, and the Sahara edge around Douz and the salt flats begins further south.
The guides on this page cover Tunisia as a whole. The coastal season runs May to October, while spring and autumn suit the ruins and desert excursions better than midsummer. Star Wars filming locations in the south remain a common excursion. Distances along the coast are manageable by road, but desert trips are generally arranged with drivers rather than self-driven.
