Sidi Bou Saïd — private tours

A clifftop village of blue doors and whitewashed walls above the Gulf of Tunis.

A village of white walls and blue doors on the cliff above the Gulf of Tunis, twenty minutes from Carthage and usually visited with it. The blue-and-white rule is not folklore invented for visitors: it was imposed in the early twentieth century and has been kept since. Come early or late if you can — the main street is narrow and it fills. Worth the climb to the top for the view back over the bay, and the studded doors are the thing to look at closely, since no two are cut the same.

Sidi Bou Saïd is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and 11 private tours reach it — the shortest 6 hours, from €74 per vehicle for the whole group. All depart from La Goulette (port) with hotel pick-up, and the vehicle is yours alone.
