CODA TOURS:
TUNISIA: LAND OF MANY FACES
http://www.coda-tours.com/
November 14-23, 1999
Ever since pre-historic man first strode across its fertile grounds some 6,000 years ago, the land now occupied by modern Tunisia has been coveted for its soil, warm climate, and favorable location at the crossroads of the eastern and western Mediterranean trade routes. Coda's 10-day deluxe journey begins with three nights in Tunis, at the 5-star Residence-Tunis Hotel. From here we tour the major Roman and Carthaginian sites in northern Tunisia. We then drive south, via Thuburbo Majus, to Monastir for a two-night stay at the 5-star Amir Palace Hotel. Monastir serves as our base for visiting the seaside towns of Sousse and Mahdia, as well as the magnificent Roman amphitheater at El Djem.
Kairouan, the most important Islamic center in Tunisia and the third most important in the world, is the centerpiece of a full-day excursion from Monastir en route to Tozeur, where we will be based for the final three nights of the tour at the Hotel Dar Cherait. A former private palace, this hotel, located in the oasis town of Tozeur on the edge of the Sahara Desert, is one of the most beautiful hotels in all of Tunisia. From here we will tour several other fascinating oasis towns, enjoy four-wheel drive excursions into the Sahara, ride camels over the sand dunes, and partake of a nomadic dinner under tents. A sojourn in the desert promises to be one of the most memorable and exotic aspects of your trip.
