Tunisia March 2020

We are flying in the evening and will land in the middle of the night, we understand. The trip is a press trip organised by the Tunisian Tourist Board. The flight time is 5-6 hours, there should be sun and clouds every day, and 21 degrees during the day and 10 at night. For those of us who are not on holiday, it is not too hot. Swedish summer perhaps?

Monastir

We will start in Monastir, located in eastern Tunisia along the coast, and see lots of sights. After that there will be lunch and a spa, because we have turned the clock a bit and need to recover. The evening we do not know yet what happens?

El Jem

We pack our suitcases and get into the car to take us to the El Jem amphitheatre. The theatre is one of the best preserved in the world and also a UNESCO heritage site. We will also enter a museum belonging to the theatre.

Sousse

After a late lunch we pack ourselves into the car and head to Sousse on the eastern side of Tunisia and a little north of Monastir. We check into a new hotel and see the town, the medina and visit the El Kantaoui marina.

We check out of the hotel and we are going to practice golf at El Kantaoui in the morning, because many people come here to play golf. If we survive, there will be lunch on site, and then we leave again.

Tunis

We will drive 13 miles with a stop at a vineyard and then arrive at a new hotel in Tunis (The residence) pictured above. Tunis is the capital of Tunisia and located in the Gulf of Tunis with fantastic beaches in the north of Tunisia.

Hotel The Residence

We're going to check out the hotel and its golf course, and isn't this the best way to do it in the morning? A good start to the day!

Carthage

In the morning we visit the suburb of Tunis which is the old Phoenician city. Carthage. We like this and we will also visit the Bardo museum which we have heard a lot of good things about. A highlight we think.

Kasbah and medina in Tunis

After lunch there will be a tour of the old quarters of Tunis which should be very interesting.

Sidi Bou Said

We end the day before dinner with the beautiful site of the Sidi Bou Said. There will certainly be some photos here!

Hammamet

New hotel and new views. The morning before we leave we are apparently going to some Thalasso centre, and we will see what it is? Now we have come to a large seaside resort on the eastern side of Tunisia. Splendid hotels, and the alleys in blue and white called Hammamet and we will make the city!

Zaghouan

We wake up without golf training and head to Zaghouan, the place where the Romans wanted to take their water to their city of Carthage. It was only 10 miles that they needed to build aqueducts and that was no problem. Let's check it out!

Oudhna

More sites left by the Romans, amphitheatre and all. This will also be exciting to be part of. We'll be doing more things in future blog posts, but this is the big one.
