It is located in the north of the country and combines modernity with history. In addition to ultra-modern buildings, you will discover the best-preserved city from the Middle Ages in the Islamic world.

You will visit the world-famous Ez-Zitouna Mosque and colorful markets. With the Bardo Museum, the country has the largest collection of mosaics in the world.

In the north of Tunisia, you can visit this bird paradise that stretches over 12,600 hectares. It is the most important nature reserve in North Africa. Bird species such as greylag geese, storks and purple hens spend the winter and live there. The national park of the same name is a nature reserve.

Explore this artists' village in the north-east of Tunis. It is extremely charming with its winding alleyways, blue and white houses and views of the blue Gulf of Tunis.

Once you are there, you will immediately realize why it is considered the most beautiful village in the country. The village owes its appearance to the painter Rodolphe d'Erlanger. It has been officially listed as a historical monument since 1915.

In the south-west of the capital, you can travel back in time by marveling at the well-preserved ruins. They take you back to the time of the ancient Romans. In no other part of Tunisia are the ruins better preserved than there.

Dougga has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997. It is a successor settlement, as the ancient city of Thugga was located there before that. It had its heyday in the 3rd century AD.

In the south of the country, Matmata is a Berber town that is a real highlight of your trip to Tunisia thanks to its underground cave dwellings. Its caves, which are still inhabited today, are often used as a movie set.

That's how unique they are. The Berbers have long benefited from this underground housing system, as it gets very warm in summer - but not in the caves. In winter, it is never too cold in these unusual apartments.

The level of care in Tunis is good and better than in the rest of the country and neighboring countries. A high level of service is offered by private clinics, which are also used by residents of neighboring African countries.

Outside the capital, medical care is mediocre to poor. In the vacation areas, there are multilingual doctors and smaller clinics that offer satisfactory primary care. In order to avoid having to bear the costs for them or even a return transport to Germany yourself, you absolutely need high-performance health insurance.
