The first day of your tour through southern Tunisia begins with an early departure from Tunis. You will take the road to Kairouan, one of the most historic and spiritual cities of Tunisia, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Kairouan is considered the fourth holiest city in Islam, after Mecca, Medina and Jerusalem. During your visit, you will discover the majestic Grand Mosque of Kairouan, an architectural masterpiece dating from the 9th century, as well as the Aghlabid basins and the picturesque medina, with its local souks and craftsmen.

After a morning of discovery in Kairouan, you will continue your journey to Sbeïtla, a city rich in Roman remains. Here you will visit the archaeological site of Sbeitla, which houses the impressive ruins of three Roman temples dedicated to Jupiter, Juno and Minerva. This historic site will allow you to immerse yourself in the history of Roman civilization and discover monuments such as the triumphal arch and Christian basilicas.

In the afternoon, head to Gafsa, the gateway to southwestern Tunisia. Gafsa is an ancient and strategic city, located in the heart of the oasis of the same name. Upon arrival, you can relax and enjoy a visit to the Gafsa palm grove, a peaceful place where dates are grown and where there are several natural springs of water. Gafsa is also an excellent starting point for exploring the surrounding desert landscapes. You will spend the night in Gafsa, soaking up the tranquil atmosphere of this oasis city, before resuming your adventure the next day. This first day, mixing history, culture and nature, lays the foundations for an unforgettable journey through southern Tunisia.
