Tunisia is Africa’s smallest country, but it is packed with enough diversity to fill a continent!  Vestiges of former rulers dot the landscape: the remains of the mighty city of Carthage; Roman ruins that demonstrate what was once Rome’s richest imperial province; medieval medinas (walled cities) built at the beginning of the Arabic era; and elegant 19th century French colonial boulevards.  Tunisia’s cuisine is also a delicious mélange – French, North African, Middle Eastern and Turkish.  The stirringly dramatic landscape is a mecca for culture and heritage inclined horseback vacations!

Tunisia Culture and History
Tunisia, a melting-pot of different civilizations, has rich cultural activity, as testified by its prestigious museums, cultural institutions and by the various international festivals held throughout the year.

Well known seaside resort areas (Sousse, Monastir, Hammamet and Nabeul, Djerba and Tabarka) offer to visitors the finest sand beaches and crystalline water along with a dizzying choice of waterfront accommodations featuring land and sea sports such as windsurfing and sailing, underwater sightseeing, fishing and of course horseback riding. Hotels are built with the visitor's comfort and enjoyment in mind and their restaurants feature both international as well as Tunisian cuisine.

During the peak summer season, no effort is spared to provide maximum activities from the hotels and throughout the region. Summer festivals held nearby invite you join in with your Tunisian hosts to celebrate Father Neptune, share their local folklore, enjoy a concert or just have fun.
