Take a short drive into Tunis, the Tunisian capital, with its impressive colonial-style boulevards and bustling medina (Old Town) -- the ancient heart of the city. Savor the markets’ sounds, sights and scents, haggle a little for a souvenir, and enjoy the atmosphere.
You’ll stop at the Bardo Museum, housed in the 19th-century Palace of the Beys. The Bardo Museum is famous for its outstanding collection of mosaics, significant finds from the Phoenician/Roman settlement at Carthage, and early Christian and Muslim relics. Take a guided tour of the most important displays, including the Virgil room, housing a spectacular Roman mosaic from Sousse.
Notes:
Wear comfortable walking shoes. Modest attire is required; knees, shoulders and midriffs must be covered; shorts and short skirts are not allowed. There are no elevators at the Bardo Museum. Most of the exhibits are on the second and third levels. Tour does not operate on Mondays.
