Port Description

Tunis, Tunisia

Modern skyscrapers and baroque buildings meet the ancient medina in Tunisia's capital city. Arab and French influences permeate the city despite its African roots. Sitting on a lake that spills into the Mediterranean, the old city is full of twisty alleyways leading back in time past spice and perfume shops to magnificent mosques, colonial buildings with shuttered windows, and a wealth of undiscovered tourist sites. The more-traveled Bardo Museum houses relics that represent all facets of Tunisian history, including a famous collection of Roman mosaics.
