In a nutshell

We start in the past: a local guide who is an expert in local history will tell you all about Tunis' Roman period, as you stand in front of an ancient temple of water and an archaeological site that you are helping to maintain with your visit. Then, the focus shifts to the future, with the owners of the first eco farm in the city: explore local workshops and Tunisian dishes to share with those who call this place home.

The programme

Modern Tunis has two souls: one preserves its origins, the other looks to the future.
The first traces of its Roman past can be found deep in the countryside, among the ruins of the archaeological site of Thuburbo Majus, an ancient agricultural center that was built on the road between Carthage and the Sahara.
While you wander between the forum, the Capitol, the baths and the temples, your local guide will help you immerse yourself in the reality of this city which defies the passage of time. Thanks to your entrance ticket, you'll also be helping to preserve it.
Continue to the village of Zaghouan to photograph its 'nymphaeum': a temple built to honor of the water source that supplied Carthage, complete with ornamental arches and niches.
But there's also a modern Tunis which is focused on a sustainable future: the owners of the first eco farm in the city are waiting to reveal everything about how they care for the environment, involving the local community in their mission.
You'll gain an understanding of this as you visit local workshops of Andalusian products and enjoy lunch with the locals, including 'tabouna' bread, 'harissa' appetizers and fresh ricotta. This is just a taster: it's down to you to discover the rest!
