Tunisia, an idyllic blend of Mediterranean beachfronts and Arabic culture, is perched on the northernmost point of Africa. Known for its stunning landscapes, this country offers a variety in its geography; from the sun-drenched coasts of Hammamet and Sousse, to the arid yet beautiful Sahara Desert, and not forgetting the verdant, mountainous regions of the North-West. Tunisia's long history, influenced by many civilizations is evident in its diverse architecture, from the impressive Roman amphitheater in El Jem, to the Islamic landmarks in its bustling capital, Tunis. Enthusiasts of the Star Wars franchise also frequently visit the country to travel to the sandy dunes of Tataouine, an original filming location of the famous series. Moreover, the intriguing labyrinthine souks, rich aroma of spices, and the world-class craftsmanship on display make Tunisia a perfect destination for culture and history lovers.

Sidi Bou Said, perched majestically on a cliff in the northern suburbs of Tunis, Tunisia, is known worldwide for its extensive use of blue and white. Often likened to a Greek island, this breathtaking town showcases a hypnotic blend of the Mediterranean and Moorish architectural styles. The winding, cobbled streets house traditional markets brimming with authentic Tunisian crafts and cuisine. It's renowned for its splendid Andalusian garden, charming 13th-century mosque, and the Dar El Annabi, a preserved 18th-century house turned museum, exhibiting life in the village during the Ottoman era. A visit here culminates in the grand Café des Nattes, where tourists relax and enjoy a panoramic view of the azure Mediterranean Sea.
