Tunisia is North Africa’s most compact treasure chest — a country smaller than Florida that contains Carthaginian ruins, Roman amphitheatres, Saharan oases, Mediterranean beaches, Star Wars film sets, and some of the finest Islamic architecture in the Maghreb. The ruins of Carthage — Hannibal’s ancient capital — overlook the Gulf of Tunis. El Jem’s colosseum, the third largest in the Roman world, stands virtually intact in the Sahel plains. The medina of Tunis — a UNESCO World Heritage labyrinth — has been continuously inhabited since the 7th century. And in the south, the Sahara begins with a grandeur that belies Tunisia’s size: the troglodyte dwellings of Matmata (Luke Skywalker’s childhood home), the mountain oases of Chebika and Tamerza, and the Grand Erg Oriental’s sand dunes stretching into Algeria.

RJ Travel operates group tours and private tours across Tunisia, from the capital Tunis and the ruins of Carthage to El Jem’s colosseum, the holy city of Kairouan, the Saharan oases and Star Wars locations, Djerba Island, the troglodyte villages of Matmata, and the blue-and-white clifftop village of Sidi Bou Said. Our itineraries combine archaeological exploration with Saharan adventure and Mediterranean relaxation.

Whether you’re drawn by standing in El Jem’s colosseum imagining gladiatorial combat beneath the North African sun, visiting the set where Tatooine was brought to life in the Saharan south, or sipping mint tea in Sidi Bou Said as the Mediterranean sparkles below, our Tunisia tours reveal the most accessible and diverse country in North Africa.
