Carthage was the capital of ancient Rome's greatest rival and the site of a titanic clash of civilisations. Today, its ruins bear testament to Rome's ultimate victory as you'll discover during this tour, which also takes in Sidi Bou Said and the world-class Bardo Museum.
Under leaders such as Hannibal, Carthage was one of the greatest powers of the ancient world. See ruins such as the Baths of Antoninus, aristocratic villas, the amphitheatre and the Tophet sacrificial site. Next, you'll visit Sidi Bou Said, a clifftop village of cobbled alleys fringed by whitewashed houses with sky blue doors and window shutters. The views over Tunis Bay are the icing on the cake.
After lunch, there's a guided tour of the Bardo Museum. It is home to a magnificent collection of mosaics recovered from Roman villas in the region as well as sculptures, jewellery and coins from the Carthaginian, Byzantine and Islamic periods.
