- Carthage Museum - Departure to Carthage, founded by the Phoenicians in 814 BC. The earliest settlements of Punic Carthage can sill be seen on Byrsa Hill, just below the renowed Carthage National Museum. Although destroyed by the Romans in 146BC and later built over by them, recent excavation has revealed the foundations of five-story Punic houses, each with its own cistern and drainage system. The most remarkable early remains are the two basins of the Punic Ports, an evidence of the Carthaginian’ mastery of the sea, which fascinated and frustrated the Romans. Another important site of pre-roman Carthage is the Tophet, a burial ground and a sanctuary of the Punic deities Tanit and Baal.

Embark on a journey to Carthage, established by the Phoenicians in 814 BC. The very first establishments of Punic Carthage are still visible at Byrsa Hill, situated beneath the renowned Carthage National Museum. Despite being demolished by the Romans in 146BC and later reconstructed atop, modern excavations have exposed the foundations of Punic buildings five stories high, each equipped with its own water storage system and sewers. The most impressive early remains include the two basins of the Punic Ports, an illustration of the Carthaginians’ command of the sea that both enticed and exasperated the Romans. The Tophet is yet another significant legacy of pre-roman Carthage.
Moving on to Sidi Bou said: This stunning village is poised upon a cliff, overseeing the Mediterranean. Taking a relaxed walk through its meandering paved lanes is an absolute pleasure. White walls that distinctly stand out against doors and window grilles painted in shades of sky blue lend the place its characteristic aesthetic. You can shop for keepsakes at the boutiques around, or unwind at a Moorish café located at the edge of a cliff.
