The picturesque nation of Tunisia boasts miles of pristine beaches on the Mediterranean Sea along its northern and eastern borders, Algeria as its neighbor to the west and Libya to the southeast. As Africa’s northernmost country, it has the distinctive characteristic of having both part of the Sahara desert and beautiful Mediterranean seaside resorts within its boundaries. With each passing year, Tunisia becomes more popular as a tourist destination, particularly for history lovers, beach enthusiasts and fans of Star Wars movies.
Tunisia’s rich culture and numerous sites of historical importance are the result of its many inhabitants over the ages, including Phoenician, Byzantine, Berber, Roman and Arab cultures. Some of these sites include the Bardo Museum located in an Ottoman palace, the El-Jem Coluseum and Kairouan, which is an Islamic holy city. With a variety of festivals throughout the year, villages where visitors can shop for traditional handicrafts and its diverse geography, Tunisia has something to offer to any type of traveler. This makes it an ideal option for corporate events, executive retreats or incentive travel programs.
Participants are sure to enjoy the many leisure options available, including lounging on the beach, shopping for blankets, rugs and copper pieces, taking a tour of Star Wars filming locations, exploring ancient villages or browsing in open-air souks when not in meetings.
