The Places That You Have To Visit On Tunisia Holiday

Medina The medina is by far the most popular part of the city for tourists, and with good reason, the Arabic old town, featuring sinuous alleyways with blank walls, beautiful vaulted alleys and famous monumental doors hiding palaces, is the historical core of Tunis. Throughout the passing of the centuries, the Souks remained as dynamic as ever, as can be seen for example in the Souk El Attarine, the Souk El Berka, the Souk El Koumach (Souk des Etoffes), the Souk El Trouk or the Souk Ech-Chaouachiya.

Former palaces converted into various cultural functions buildings such as Dar Lasram and the Club Tahar Haddad, Dar Ben Abdallah, Dar Othman, Dar Hussein, Dar Bach Hamba, Dar Bouderbala or the Palais Kheireddine ; mausoleum such as Tourbet El Bey and Tourbet Aziza-Othmana ; medersas such as the Complexe des trois médersas or the Médersa Achouria and mosques like the Mosquée Sidi Youssef, the Mosquée Sidi Mahrez and of course the Mosquée Zitouna. The medina epicenter is the Zitouna Mosque, also named the Great Mosque. According to this principle, the Souk of the Perfumers is north of the Great Mosque, to the west is the Souk of the Cloth, to the south the Souk of the Wool and to the east the Souk of the Dried Fruits which used to share this site with the former Souk of the Booksellers. The Souks of Food and the Souks that feature noisy activities were relegated behind this first circle. They are the Souk of the Tanners, the Souk of the Blacksmithes (around Bab Jedid) or also the Souk of the Fish Merchants (around Bab El-Bahr). The medina, encompassing this vast array of Souks, was protected by fortifications and enclosed by big doors. The core of it consists in the most famous Avenue in Tunis, namely the Habib Bourguiba Avenue, which plots a central axis from the east to the west, starting from the medina entrance (Paris Avenue) to the Tunis Lake (by the TGM Station to La Marsa). Lose yourself in Art Deco buildings on your way to the streets south of Bourguiba Avenue, such as the Carthage Avenue or the Yougoslavie Street.

Les Berges du Lac Literally meaning “the banks of the lake,” Les Berges du Lac is the new business district of Tunis.

La Goulette From Tunisia, this is the first city stop on the TGM (the Tunis-Goulette-Marsa railway line) enroute to La Marsa, after a 10 kilometer long crossing of a water. From the fifties to the seventies, La Goulette enjoyed a heyday which is immortalized in the French movie by Ferid Boughdir, Summer in La Goulette. La Goulette features a long popular beach and basic white-and-blue houses and is of little interest for the tourists. However Tunis city dwellers used to come to La Goulette to enjoy one of its good seafood restaurants which have built the reputation of the main drag, the Franklin Roosevelt Avenue. Even if the Carthage archeological sites, part of the UNESCO Humanity World Heritage, may not be the most impressive of the Mediterranean basin, it would be a shame not to admire the vestiges of this fabulous ancient city while visiting the Thermes d’Antonin, the Tophet de Carthage, the Colline de l’Odéon (Odeon Hill) and the Colline de Byrsa (Byrsa Hill) which notably encompasses the Musée National de Carthage. What a beautiful Tunisia holiday, heh?

Sidi Bou Saïd Sidi Bou Saïd is a tourist and picturesque village located 20 kilometers from Tunis.

La Marsa This seaside city is particularly appreciated by the Tunis city dwellers who escape the city once the summer heat comes. The Hafside dynasty which ruled from Tunis from the 13th century to the 16th century built its palaces here, such as the El Abdelliya palace, as did the Ottoman beys after them.

Gammarth Roughly speaking, Gammarth is a seaside and posh Tunis suburb area. It is just north of La Marsa, 20 kilometers away from Tunisia.

Hope you interest with the recommended places in Tunisia and get you Tunisia holiday planning got true!
