Tunis (La Goulette), Tunisia

Scenic Cap Bon & Kerkouane

A Day of Discovery at the Cap Bon Peninsula Explore traditional towns and ancient and natural wonders of the Cap Bon peninsula, jutting into the Gulf of Tunis. Join your guide for a panoramic drive to the cape and stop at one of Tunisia’s finest handicraft markets at Nabeul, the center of the country’s pottery industry. Alongside the finely shaped earthenware, you will also find perfumes and embroidery. Enjoy a demonstration by a local potter. Stop for photos of the impressive Kelibia Fort atop a domineering hill. Discover the peninsula’s ancient past among the ruins of the Punic city of Kerkouane, better preserved than nearby Carthage, thanks to fewer visitors. Afterward, head to the coast to enjoy a delicious lunch by the ocean, accompanied by local wine. Your appetite sated, enjoy the scenic ride back to your ship, with stunning views over the Atlas Mountains and the Mediterranean. * Moderate - Walking portions may be long and somewhat challenging with occasional step-ups, stairs and inclines.
