Car hire Tunisia

One of the sparkling gems in North Africa, Tunisia is home to fascinating archaeological sites, fantastic Mediterranean beach areas, and rich history. Sun-worshippers will appreciate Tunisia's long sunny coastline, but the country offers much more than solely hedonism, such as the important Tunis and Carthage sites that provide insight into the nation's interesting development through the centuries. Car hire in Tunisia can be arranged for some rewarding self-drive tours.

Tunis is the national capital and a cultural haven with the historic Medina district and the modern Ville Nouvelle area, designed by the French. The Zitouna Mosque is Medina's star attraction. Also named ‘The Great Mosque', this structure was created from the remains of Roman Carthage. Dar Othman, Dar Ben Abdallah and Dar Lasram are former palaces, which are all of great architectural interest.

Carthage is linked to Tunis by light rail and is one of the nation's most pivotal archaeological sites. Many of the ruins here date back to the era of Roman supremacy, and feature an amphitheatre, Roman bathing facilities, and the Sanctuary of Tophet that was originally used for making religious sacrifices. Budget car rental in Tunisia gives visitors the option driving to Carthage themselves.

Further south, Tozeur is a town that boasts splendid architecture, with most constructions built of bricks arranged in meticulous patterns. The Dar Charait Museum displays a brilliant collection of decorative art and ceramics. Also rewarding is to take a horse-drawn coach that follows a route through the ‘palmeraie' – one of the most spacious oases in Tunisia. Cheap car hire in Tunisia should be booked in advance online

Tunisia is North Africa's smallest nation and packs a wide range of tourist attractions within its territory. The endlessly stretching gorgeous beaches draw numerous tourists year-round, with several exciting water sports for travellers looking for some adrenaline pumping activities. Due to the city's small size, Tunis can easily be explored on foot within a day or two, while its French ambience combined with the historic landmarks make it an enjoyable place to chill out in.
