Follow on Google News | ![]() Boutique Tunisia: 9 nights from £2545 per personBy: Corinthian Travel Staying in character accommodation known locally as 'dars', these historic houses were once the homes of wealthy families and are Tunisia's equivalent of Morocco's 'riads'. Sometimes described as Maison de Charmes, the experts at Corinthian Travel have hand-picked some of Tunisia's most attractive boutique hotels, for this relaxed-pace tour of Tunisia's highlights. The holiday commences in the capital city, Tunis, which is situated on the Gulf of Tunis, behind the Lake of Tunis and the port of La Goulette. The city extends along the coastal plain and the hills that surround it and, at its core, lies the Medina, a World Heritage Site. Explore the streets of the walled medieval medinas of the city and admire the magnificent mosaics and other artefacts in the Bardo National Museum. The museum traces the history of Tunisia over several millennia, and across several civilisations through a wide variety of archaeological pieces. Other sightseeing highlights include visiting holy Kairouan – Islam's fourth holiest site – and El Djem's virtually intact Roman amphitheatre. However, the emphasis is on slow travel, with plenty of time to soak up the atmosphere of Tunisia's coastal towns and charming accommodations. Throughout the holiday, you will travel by chauffeur-driven car, and sightseeing will be accompanied by a private, English-speaking guide. The holiday costs from £2545 per person, based on two people sharing a room. This includes private chauffeured transport throughout, nine-nights' B&B (plus two lunches), sightseeing/ International flights not included (bookable through Corinthian Travel on request).
