Explore the Charm of Hammamet, the Heritage of Zaghouan & the Authenticity of Zriba el Alia
Begin your day with a comfortable hotel pickup from Tunis or Hammamet, and set off on a scenic journey toward the picturesque coastal town of Hammamet—a true gem of Tunisia’s Cap Bon peninsula.
Your adventure begins in Hammamet, a seaside resort famous for its pristine beaches, lush gardens, and rich history. Explore the historic medina, where whitewashed buildings and narrow alleys transport you back in time. Browse the local souks filled with handcrafted goods, colorful ceramics, and intricate embroidery. Stop by quaint cafés for a taste of traditional mint tea or fresh-squeezed orange juice.
Make your way to the Kasbah of Hammamet, a 15th-century fortress perched by the sea. From its ramparts, enjoy breathtaking panoramic views over the Gulf of Hammamet, the city’s golden beaches, and the old town’s tiled rooftops.
Next, head inland to Zaghouan, a town nestled at the foot of the Atlas Mountains and renowned for its Roman heritage and unspoiled natural beauty.
Here, you will visit the Temple des Eaux (Water Temple), an ancient spring sanctuary constructed during the reign of Emperor Hadrian. Marvel at the semi-circular stone basin once used to collect and distribute water through an aqueduct to the ancient city of Carthage. Surrounded by cypress trees and mountainous scenery, this tranquil site blends history with serenity.
Your journey continues to Zriba el Alia, a picturesque Berber village nestled on a hillside. Often overlooked by mainstream tourism, this hidden gem offers a glimpse into Tunisia's rural past. Stroll through the remains of stone houses, winding passageways, and charming courtyards where time seems to stand still. The elevated position of the village provides spectacular panoramic views of the valleys and peaks that define the region’s landscape. It’s an ideal place to reflect, take photos, and experience the authentic charm of traditional Berber architecture and lifestyle.
After a day rich in history, culture, and natural wonders, relax on your return journey to Tunis or Hammamet. This full-day excursion is perfect for travelers seeking a blend of coastal beauty, archaeological discovery, and off-the-beaten-path exploration.
