19 Carthage Sidi Bou Said: Departure to Carthage and remainders of the splendours of Tunisia's past. There will be visits to the gigantic Punic Ports, the Antonin Baths, the Tophet as well as the Theatre. Who has not heard of Hannibal and this city who dared brave the might of Rome? Now the ruins of both these great empires lay open to the sun and wildflowers. Declared a national monument the town of Carthage and nearby Salammbo abound in vestiges of the Punic and Roman empires, baths, dwellings, temples, shrines and the fabulous naval port of the Carthaginians. For a thousand years, Phoenicians were masters of the Mediterranean and over 200 war ships and innumerable merchant vessels were sheltered in the nearby port of Salammbo. At its center the Admirals Island still exists and archaeologists are reconstituting the pavilion with its shrine and docks. Next to the ports the ancient sanctuary of the goddess Tanit (Tophet) a quiet, shady square of hundreds of funeral steles

20 Continuation to the Moorish village of Sidi Bou Said with its immaculate white and blue houses. The village has managed to preserve its charm and its peacefulness. Sidi Bou Said, this lovely blue and white village, gaily perched on the cliffs overlooking the Bay of Tunis, is perhaps the most cherished in Tunisia. The legend tells of Saint Louis - coming to wage war he fell in love with a Berber princess and, changing his name became the patron saint of this village where he lived in joy and peace. Visit Sidi Bou Said, fall under its charm and the story will seem most logical The most adventurous will have the opportunity to try the famous chicha (Water pipe) Free time in Sidi Bou Saïd to sip a mint tea at Café Sidi Chabaane or stroll along the narrow streets to see the magnificent view from the cliff Return at the Hotel

22 Day 3: Buffet breakfast at the hotel. Meeting at the hotel Rich coffee break Lunch at the main restaurant of the hotel Afternoon: Visit of the Medina of Tunis ( option: Treasure Hunt) Dinner at the restaurant Dar El Jeld

23 Medina of Tunis Visit of the Medina of Tunis. We suggest a guided visit through the winding streets of Tunis' old town, an opportunity to see the rich cultural heritage of old walled city and to discover the exquisite craftsmanship of Tunisia's artisans. 'Souk' is the Arabic name for market; 'medina' is the Arabic name for town. In Tunis today, the souk is also called medina. And there is a good reason: most of what once was Tunis is today like one enormous shopping centre and handicrafts factory. Today, the medina is still inhabited, but only a small percentage of the total population of Tunis lives in these quarters. The arrangement of the souks are traditional for Muslim cities: the clean professions had their souks near the main mosque, the Zitouna, while the unclean professions like dyeing and crude metal works were placed further away. It might be strange to us now that the slave souk, active until 1846, was placed just metres away from the main mosque and the palace of the bey (ruler). Even if much has disappeared from the souk of the weavers, the Souk de la Laine, you still have good chances of actually seeing the weaving process by hand looms. The fabrics made like this are expensive and only intended for well-off clients and special occasions. Just a few streets up from the main mosque, you will come to the gold jewellers' souk, the Souk of goldsmiths, where gold of high carats is sold (Tunisians think of gold of European style (9 and 14 carat) as junk).
