Baths of Antoninus, Carthage

 We really enjoyed Carthage, it was probably the best part of that day

Bardo National Museum, Tunis

 The excursion to Tunis included a visit to the Bardo Museum, which we enjoyed very much!




Porte de France, Tunis

 I believe that for those who are not afraid to get lost, the best way to see the Medina is on their own.




Mosque of El-Zituna, Tunis

 I felt that there was much more to see, but we only saw what the guide wanted us to see.




Medina of Tunis

My plans included visiting the Medina of Tunis, and so we did.

Sidi Bou Said's Cafes

 Honestly, I didn't find it that special, but I guess it's nice because it's blue and white.

Amphitheatre of El Jem

 The Amphitheatre of El Jem is one of the best preserved Roman stone ruins in the world, and is unique in Africa.




Amphitheatre of El Jem

 What I really wanted to see was the El Jem Amphitheater and I was not disappointed!




Walls of the Hammamet Medina.

 Truth to be told, we hardly saw Hammamet. My priorities were somewhere else.
