Itinerary

Venture off the beaten path into the verdant landscapes of Northern Tunisia, a region rich in ancient history and living heritage. This immersive five-day expedition takes you deep into the country’s past, from the majestic, UNESCO-listed Roman ruins of Dougga—considered the best-preserved in North Africa—to the architectural marvels of Bulla Regia, famous for its unique subterranean villas designed to escape the summer heat. Along the coast, you will discover the maritime charm of Tabarka, with its iconic 'Les Aiguilles' rock formations and Genoese Fort, before exploring the vibrant Old Port and Spanish Fort of Bizerte, where the Mediterranean meets a rich naval history.

What truly sets this journey apart is the focus on authentic human connections and ancestral arts. You will not just observe the culture; you will participate in it through a series of exclusive, hands-on experiences. Your palate will be treated to a refined olive oil tasting at the renowned Domaine Ben Ismail and a heart-warming lunch hosted by a local family in Tabarka. You will engage directly with local artisans, mastering traditional bread-making techniques in El Kef, joining fishermen for an authentic excursion at sea, and shaping natural clay alongside the women of Sejnane in a pottery workshop recognised by UNESCO for its intangible heritage value.
