Tunisia has ten UNESCO World Heritage properties, and nine of them can currently be visited. The tenth, Ichkeul National Park, is closed to the public. The newest is Sidi Bou Saïd, inscribed in July 2026 — recent enough that most published lists still say nine or fewer. Our tours reach 9 of them.

Ten inscribed properties. Sidi Bou Saïd was added in July 2026, at the 48th session of the World Heritage Committee. Ichkeul National Park is closed to visitors, so nine is the most any itinerary can honestly reach.
Ten inscribed properties as of 2026. Sidi Bou Said was added in July 2026 at the 48th session, which is why many older articles say eight or nine.
Nine of the ten, yes. Ichkeul National Park is closed to visitors, so no itinerary can honestly include it. Reaching the other nine takes about a fortnight, because they run from Kerkouane on Cap Bon to Djerba in the far south.
El Jem draws the strongest reaction: it is the third-largest Roman amphitheatre still standing and you can walk the arena floor and the tunnels beneath it. Dougga is the more complete Roman town, and Kerkouane is the only Punic settlement Rome never built over.
