The new Bradt Guide the result of three years’ residence and intensive research by adventurer and travel writer Oscar Scafidi.
Oscar’s travels took him to historic and archaeological landscapes, from Neolithic dolmens and Punic burial sites to Roman cities and Byzantine forts and to spectacular souks, mosques and minarets. Southern Tunisia is home to a dozen filming locations for the Star Wars films.
A range of landscapes includes pine-forested mountains and preSaharan savannah. Tunisia also offers beaches, camel-trekking or quad-biking in the Sahara Desert and the moonscapes of Chott el Djerid salt lake.
In the 2,000-year old capital of Tunis, originally an Amazigh settlement, there is the ancient Medina and Tunisia also has UNESCO World Heritage Sites including the remnants of Ancient Carthage and preserved Roman ruins, such as the world’s second-largest amphitheatre of El Jem?
Bradt Tunisia offers detailed travel information, over 100 videos QRcoded and has a language appendix for Tunisian Arabic, French, Amazigh and Italian.
