I am a solo Asian woman traveller, been to Turkey, Middle East and Morocco before. Plan to visit Tunisia in mid-Oct for 2 to 3 weeks. Big fans of architecture, villages and local craftsmanship but do not like beaches nor holiday resorts.

Any advice which touristic spots should be skipped?

Hi and welcome to Tunisia. There is much to see here but if you don't like the beaches then stay away from Skanes, Port el Kantoui, but some beautiful architecture can be seen in Nabeul, Sidi Bou Said (white washed walls and blue doors)Monastir. The capitol Tunis is a large and bustling city but all around you will find the remains of Carthage - not to be missed! And of course the old Medina which really is lovely. Don't miss Douga or Sbeitla which have fantastic Roman remains very well preserved. Also you should go to Tataouine and Matmata for the Berber caves many of which are still inhabited.

Enjoy your vacation

Hi Lesley,

Thanks for the advice. Any comments about staying in Sousse for day trips to Kairouan and Monastir? And then use the public transportation to get to Douz?

cheers,

Hi HK_Solo - sorry, been in the south for a few days and there is no internet there!! Kairouan is a wonderful beautiful city - a definite must on the tourist trail and Monastir is charming. Don't know about the public transport from Monastir to Douz but I'll ask for you and post again asap
