You might be reminded of the whitewashed villages of Andalucia when you behold pretty Sidi Bou Said, a charming blue-and-white town perched on a cliff overlooking the emerald waters of the Mediterranean Sea and the Gulf of Tunis. Visit the Ennejma Ezzahra, the former palace of the Baron d’Erlanger that is now a museum of paintings, carpets, musical instruments, and more. Then enjoy time to wander the cobbled streets of admiring the lovely facades with their iron window grills, studded doors, and windowboxes brimming with bougainvillea. You’ll easily see why this this delightful retreat that has been the inspiration of artists, poets, and musicians for centuries. Dinner is also included.

Join your fellow travellers at this exclusive Vantage Event, an Oasis Dinner Party. Vantage has arranged for a traditional Berber Tent to be set up in an Oasis in Tozeur, in the south of Tunisia. You will enjoy a real Tunisian dinner under the stars and amongst the gently swaying palm trees. Some local entertainers will join you in this romantic evening setting. This is a unique opportunity to experience “desert fine dining,” which will be enhanced by the music and dances of the desert in a totally authentic environment. Do not miss this unforgettable evening!

Kairouan (the “fortified town” in Arabic) is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, known as the spiritual home of all Tunisians. Just an hour’s drive from Sousse, you will explore this holy city’s historic sites, including the Great Mosque, parts of which were first built in the 7th century. Inside, you’ll admire the exquisite hand carved doors and stucco arabesques, as well as the hundreds of columns — 400 in all — in the prayer room.

Your visit will not be complete without a walking tour of the Medina, the old city center. With its imposing walls and monumental gate, the Medina encompasses lovely mosques, an ancient well, and hundreds of shops.
