Tunis Medina and Sidi Boussaid

Overview

Experience the true spirit of Tunis on a guided journey through the UNESCO-listed Medina and the iconic village of Sidi Bou Said. Founded in 698, Tunis rose at the heart of the Mediterranean and became the capital of powerful dynasties, leaving behind one of the best-preserved medinas in the Islamic world, spanning over 300 hectares and nearly 700 historical monuments. This tour is a walk through living history. We guide you through the medina’s labyrinth of souks and streets to discover mosques, madrasas, palaces, mausoleums, and traditional artisan workshops, where centuries-old skills are still alive. The experience continues in Sidi Bou Said, the legendary blue-and-white village overlooking the sea. With its Andalusian architecture, artistic heritage, and breathtaking Mediterranean views, it offers a peaceful and inspiring contrast to the vibrant medina—an unforgettable conclusion to an authentic cultural journey.
