At the indicated time, you'll be picked up from your hotel in Tunis to begin your guided tour of Carthage and Sidi Bou Said.

Your first stop will be the archaeological site of ancient Carthage. At Byrsa hill, you will see the ruins of the historic capital founded by the Phoenicians in the 9th century BCE. The city was later taken over by the Romans and subsequently occupied by the Arabs, creating a mix of cultural heritage. Accompanied by your English-speaking guide, you'll explore the remains of ancient Carthage, learning about its history and visiting significant ruins, including the commercial and military ports.

Next, you will visit the Tophet of Carthage, a cemetery and sanctuary dedicated to the deities Tanit and Baal. You will have the chance to admire Carthaginian funerary and religious artwork that has survived through the ages.

Following the Tophet, you'll travel to Sidi Bou Said, a coastal town just ten minutes from Carthage. As you walk through the town's labyrinthine lanes, you'll observe its whitewashed houses with blue doors and windows and views of the Mediterranean Sea.

Sidi Bou Said offers a vibrant atmosphere with shops and cafes for souvenir shopping and enjoying refreshments while taking in panoramic views. After your visit, you will return to Tunis and be dropped off at your hotel after a total of 6 hours.
