Explore Carthage and Sidi Bou Said

-

A short drive from the hotel is the ancient city of Carthage. Founded as a Phoenician colony in the ninth century BC on the gulf of modern Tunis, the ruins of five Punic homes can still be seen on Byrsa Hill, alongside Roman baths and an amphitheat­re. Nearby is the village of Sidi Bou Said, famous for its white buildings with blue roofs.
