Tunisia's Absolute Essentials
Tunisia’s landscape features a dense concentration of UNESCO World Heritage sites spanning Punic, Roman, and Islamic eras. The archaeological remains of Carthage and the well-preserved Punic town of Kerkuane contrast with the massive Roman amphitheatre of El Jem and the hilltop ruins of Dougga. In the capital, the Bardo National Museum houses one of the world’s largest Roman mosaic collections. The spiritual heart of the country is found in the Great Mosque of Kairouan and the labyrinthine Medinas of Tunis and Sousse, while Matmata offers unique Berber troglodyte architecture.
