The opening dinner, featuring a blend of Mediterranean and Tunisian flavors, gently concludes this first day, immersing you in the local art of living.

At the Heart of Berber History and Traditions

The Water Temple - Your deluxe day begins with exploring Zaghouan, a region rich in history and traditions. Start with a visit to the Temple of Waters, an exceptional Roman archaeological site showcasing the ancient hydraulic systems’ ingenuity. Nestled at the mountain’s base, this sacred site was once a place of worship dedicated to nymphs, reflecting Tunisia’s rich past.

Zaghouan - Delight in getting lost in the medina of Zaghouan, a maze of picturesque alleys highlighting local craftsmanship. Each shop tells a story, and each artisan proudly shares their ancestral skills.

Zriba El Alia - Spend the afternoon visiting the Berber villages of Jradou and Zriba Oliya. In Jradou, discover fascinating troglodyte dwellings carved from the rock. Then, in Zriba Oliya, be captivated by the mysterious beauty of this abandoned village, offering breathtaking panoramic views. The day concludes in style with a Berber tea break facing a golden sunset over the mountains, a moment of rare serenity.

In the Footsteps of Carthage, Sidi Bou Saïd & Medina

Site Archéologique de Carthage - Begin the day immersed in the fascinating history of Carthage, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Walk in Hannibal’s footsteps, exploring the baths of Antonine, impressive Roman remains overlooking the Mediterranean, and discover the Punic Quarter, a silent witness to this civilization’s past grandeur. Each stone tells a story, and the panoramic view from Byrsa Hill will leave you speechless.

Sidi Bou Said - Continue your journey to Sidi Bou Said, a living postcard where the bright blue doors and shutters contrast with the pristine white walls. Lose yourself in its steep alleyways, discover hidden art galleries, and enjoy a pine-scented tea at the famous Café des Nattes, while admiring the breathtaking views of the Gulf of Tunis.

Medina of Tunis - In the afternoon, dive into the bustling medina of Tunis, another UNESCO site. Its lively souks – such as the souk des Chechias or the souk des Parfums – will captivate you with their colors, scents, and refined craftsmanship.

The day will end at Dar Zaghouan, where a Berber-flavored dinner will be served, capping off the day with enchanting emotions and cultural discoveries.

Nature, Wellness, and Crafts of Cap Bon

Korbous - Your fourth day invites you to explore the natural and artisanal treasures of the Cap Bon Peninsula, a region renowned for its wild beauty and vibrant traditions. Begin with discovering Korbous, a unique site where hot springs emerge from the mountain and flow directly into the sea. Enjoy a revitalizing footbath in these therapeutic waters, a moment of pure relaxation in an exceptional natural setting. The Romans once came here to recharge, and the experience remains just as magical today.

Nabeul - Continue your journey to Nabeul, the capital of pottery and perfumes. Visit its Spice Point of Sale, a festival of colors and aromas where bags of saffron, cumin, and turmeric pile up. Then, enter a traditional pottery workshop to watch craftsmen shape clay with skills passed down through generations. An introduction to pottery may even be offered! Lunch will be at a local restaurant to savor dishes based on fresh fish and local products, in a warm and typical atmosphere.

Hammamet - In the afternoon, head to Hammamet for a stroll in its medina, a peaceful jewel surrounded by white ramparts. Away from the tourist bustle, wander between craft shops, quiet cafes, and whitewashed houses. At the end of the day, return to the Russelior Inn for a farewell dinner with Mediterranean flavors, accompanied by traditional musical entertainment. A day that perfectly combines well-being, craftsmanship, and authenticity.

The Last Moments of Relaxation and Check-out

The Russelior Hotel & Spa - Your last day in Tunisia begins with a delicious breakfast, where you can enjoy the mild climate and the soothing sea view one last time. Depending on your desires, the morning offers free time to extend these moments of tranquility: a final swim in the turquoise waters, a wellness session at the Inn’s spa (optional), or a stroll in the fragrant gardens to capture some memorable photos.

You can also take advantage of these moments to make some last-minute purchases: local crafts, olive oil, or premium quality dates brought directly from Tunisian terroirs.
