Wander Through Roman Ruins
A place where you can wander through Roman ruins and visit the sands of the Sahara and the sands of the beach in the same day, Tunisia is quickly becoming known for its beautiful beaches, historical sites, and colorful cuisine. Home to some of the best beaches in North Africa, those looking to switch off can sit back, soak up some rays and unwind whilst adrenaline junkies can try their hand at the variety of water sports on offer. Like food? Then Tunisian cuisine is something you have to try. Brik, a deep-fried tuna and egg turnover is considered a local specialty whilst couscous and Tunisian salads are staples. Whether it is found in a local café or at El Dar restaurant inside The Residence Tunis, these dishes are not to be missed.

For Culture Vultures
If you fancy culture over cuisine then head to Tunis’ Unesco-listed medina to witness the bold doors in blues, yellows, and greens that open onto hidden mansions and restaurants decked out in lavish tiles. Tunis is also home to one of the world’s most impressive museums, the Bardo, which houses thousands of Roman-era mosaics and other treasures found on archaeological sites throughout the country. Travel north to find the ruins at Carthage; the Roman amphitheater at El Djem and the UNESCO protected Dougga – all great treasures in Tunisia’s trove. Excursions from The Residence Tunis can be easily arranged with private guides for those wanting to learn a little more about this African gem. The hotel can also arrange sailing, camel and horse-riding, quad biking, banana boats, outboards and jets skis nearby.
