This trip takes you to Friguia Animal Park – and you can look forward to some close encounters with them. Set over 36 hectares, the park is home to 62 different species of animals from all over the world. One minute you’ll be looking at lions lazing about in the sun, and the next you’ll be watching wallabies hopping about. There’s nothing zoo-like about this place, either. The park was set up to preserve endangered species, so the animals are kept in environments that are as similar to their natural habitats as possible. You’ll also be able to learn about each creature as you spot them, thanks to the park’s information points. One of the highlights of a day here are the dolphin displays. Taking place in a specially-built dolphinarium, these shows see the bottle-nosed mammals performing tricks and stunts.

See the immense Antonine Roman Baths perched above the Med, the amphitheatre and haunting sacrificial site of Tophet, as well as numerous other relics.
Then it’s on to Sidi Bou Said, a beautiful clifftop village. All radiant whites houses, blue shutters and cobbled streets, this picture book place commands heart-stopping views over Tunis bay. After lunch, you’ll visit the Medina of Tunis: Under the Almohads and the Hafsids, from the 12th to the 16th century, Tunis was considered one of the greatest and wealthiest cities in the Islamic world.
