Explore the highlights of Tunisia, home to ancient Carthage—one of the most affluent cities of the classical world—on a FAM with Uzbekistan Adventures this December. The 9-day adventure introduces you to a variety of landscapes and sights, from Mediterranean beaches to the Sahara Desert, and from from ancient souks to Star Wars film sets. Tunisia, in fact, was the setting for Luke Skywalker’s home planet of Tatooine.
Advisors will enjoy a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience Tunisian culture both ancient and modern, including important archaeological sites like the mysterious troglodyte houses of the Berbers. These cave houses offered protection against the extremes of summer and winter in the arid desert (and were also featured in Star Wars!). Tours also include Tunis Medina, the city’s UNESCO-listed old city; Dougga, where you’ll see an ancient Roman amphitheater; and the 9th-century Great Mosque of Oqba.
The mild Tunisia weather in December sees temperatures reach 64°F. This may dip to 54°F when there are a few clouds, and the nights can be chilly in December.
