Highlights of Tunisia 5 Day / 4 Nights
Maghrebi, Mediterranean and European: Tunis is at once complex, hybrid and cosmopolitan, yet remains curiously provincial, charmingly stuck in time.
The laid-back capital of Tunis also has two distinct urban-planning personalities. The new city, created by French colonials in the 19th century, is an orderly European grid, with wrought-iron balconies, cafes and patisseries bordering the boulevards.
