What you'll do

Upon arrival at the port of La Goulette, our Shore2Shore guide, easily identifiable by their sign, will be waiting for you to start an exciting excursion through the most emblematic places of the region.

We will begin our tour in the Medina of Tunis, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1979. This vibrant maze of alleys and covered passages captivates with its intense colors, aromas, and the lively atmosphere of its traditional markets. During the visit, you will discover a wide variety of products, from leather crafts and filigree to everyday items. The combination of artisan workshops, souvenir shops, and local tradition makes this place a unique experience for all the senses.

Next, we will head to Carthage, the legendary Phoenician city that rivaled Rome for dominance of the Mediterranean. Although today only remnants of its former splendor remain, the tour of its historic ruins allows you to imagine the greatness of this civilization. We will make an exterior visit to the Roman theater, amphitheater, cisterns, and aqueduct, as well as the ancient Punic ports. Many of the materials from these constructions were reused in later buildings, leaving a historical imprint integrated into the daily life of the region.

Our next stop will be the picturesque village of Sidi Bou Said, known for its white houses with blue doors and windows. This charming enclave, a traditional refuge for artists and creators, invites you to stroll along its main street, full of small shops and stalls where you will find water pipes, ceramics, decorative cages, and puppets, among other typical items. All accompanied by a relaxed atmosphere and magnificent views of the Mediterranean Sea.

After this unforgettable experience, we will return to the port of La Goulette, where we will say goodbye, wishing you a pleasant return on board.

The order of the places to be visited may vary without prior notice due to possible eventualities, such as the ship's arrival time, opening hours of places of interest, or other operational circumstances.

Thank you for choosing Shore2Shore and until the next adventure!
