TRAVEL GUIDE
What to do in Tunis
A visit to Tunis means returning to the cradle of civilization in the Mediterranean. Near our Golden Tulip hotel, discover the site of Carthage, a legendary Phoenician city founded in 814 BC. Among other unmissable places to visit in Tunis, be sure to see the ruins of the Baths of Antoninus, the largest Roman thermal baths complex on African soil. You’ll then follow the road to Sidi Bou Saïd, a village close to Tunis, charming and typical with its pedestrian streets and its white and blue houses. The presence of Paul Klee, Colette and Flaubert has left its trace, and Sidi Bu Saïd is today considered to be the artistic quarter of the Tunisian capital. Our hotel which is located near Zitouna mosque (the Olive Tree Mosque) will allow you to admire the mosque’s unusual Roman-inspired architecture. A superb vista from which your eyes can embrace the town’s full beauty.

Top pick of the best activities in Tunis and its surrounding area
Set off on an adventure departing from one of our hotels in Tunis. You’ll be able to get to the fine-sand beaches of Hammamet and spend the night in our hotel, or explore one of the world’s most famous deserts, the Sahara, on camel-back. In Tataouine, you’ll discover the traces left of the set of the first film in the Star Wars saga, shot in 1976. You’ll then leave the dunes for the heart of the Medina, where you’ll try out a Tunis tradition, bartering in the souks of the town to bring back an Oriental carpet or some fine leather balghas for the best price. After some lengthy deliberations, you’ll be able to quench your thirst with a mint tea, one of the region’s specialties, in one of the Medina’s cafés. The Golden Tulip restaurants will also offer a great variety of these as well as local gourmet specialties. A most delicious way of sampling Tunis!
