15-Day Complete Tunisia: Nine UNESCO Sites
from €2324
→
The full circle of Tunisia in eight days: Roman Dougga and Bulla Regia, the Punic Cap Bon, a night among the dunes, the Berber citadels of the deep south, the island of Djerba and the colosseum of El Jem — ending where Carthage began.
8-Day Tunisia Grand Loop: Cap Bon, Sahara, Berber South & Djerba is a 8 days / 7 nights private circuit from Tunis taking in 20 places, with a car and driver for your group only, from €1324 per vehicle for up to 5 travellers.
This is the loop for travellers who want the whole country, not a corner of it. In eight days you cross every landscape Tunisia has: the wheat hills of the Roman north, the vineyards and cliffs of Cap Bon, the salt flats of Chott el-Jerid, the dunes beyond Douz, the stone villages of the Berber south, and the island light of Djerba.
Unlike the classic circuits, this route closes the circle by the coast — returning north through El Jem's amphitheatre and finishing among the ruins of Carthage and the blue-and-white lanes of Sidi Bou Saïd. One vehicle, one driver, your own pace throughout: no bus timetables, no groups, and the freedom to linger where the light is good.
Accommodation is quoted separately with your dates — from guesthouses in the oases to a night in a proper desert camp among the dunes (day 4), which most guests call the highlight of the week.
Desert nights are cold from November to February: bring a fleece even when the day was 25°C. Sandstorms are possible in spring and can close a piste for a day.
Yes. The vehicle is yours alone — no other travellers are added, and there is no pick-up round of other hotels before the day starts. The price is for the vehicle, not per seat.
The price is €1324 for the whole vehicle, which carries up to 5 people. For a full group that works out at about €265 each; for two people it is half the total between you.
Pick-up is from your hotel in Tunis, at the time you choose. Tell us where you are staying when you book and the driver comes to the door.
October to April. This itinerary goes into the deep south, which regularly passes 45°C between May and September — the sites are still open, but the middle of the day becomes hard work.
No. The price covers the vehicle and the driver. Accommodation along the route is arranged for you and quoted with your dates — tell us how many of you there are and we come back with the whole figure before you commit.
