📍Kelibia appeals partly because it’s a resolutely ordinary and unfussy town that sees few tourists. But it’s also blessed with some beautiful beaches, especially the local favourite Plage de la Mansoura, an accessible silver-sanded strand edged by translucent sea not far from the towering hilltop fortress that watches over the town's daily workings.
Kelibia's centre, a mix of functional shops and men-packed cafes, is 2km inland along the main motorway that loops the peninsula. Like the rest of rural Cap Bon, Kelibia survives on fishing and agriculture, and tourism is definitely a sideline.
The town's attractions are all on the coast to the east, but some of the attention is moving south to Ain Grinz, where a crop of wonderful, quiet beachside dars has grown.

📍Gabès, also spelled Qābis, Latin Tacapae, town in southeastern Tunisia. Situated on a Mediterranean oasis along the Gulf of Gabes, the town is located at the mouth of the Wadi Qābis (Oued Gabès), which has its source 6 miles (10 km) upstream at the Ras al-Oued (springs), the town’s main water source. The town’s remains attest to Carthaginian settlement before it came under Roman rule, when it functioned as a trading centre known as Tacapae. The town was ruined during the Arab invasion in the mid- to late 7th century, but it was revived by the arrival of Sīdī Boulbaba, held to be a companion of the Prophet Muhammad and considered the town’s patron. Declining somewhat under Ottoman rule, it experienced a modest revival during the French protectorate (1881–1955) when a railway, a road network, and a port were constructed. The town was garrisoned by the French against Italian intrusion from nearby Libya. Germany’s Afrika Korps used Gabès as its headquarters during World War II before it was retaken by the British and French in 1943. The modern town is still an important oasis and trade centre, with some fishing, fruit growing, and textile milling in the vicinity. Modern industries include major cement and brick works and oil refineries and petrochemicals plants supplied by offshore oil and gas wells; there is also a modest tourism industry.
The surrounding area embraces much of semiarid south-central Tunisia. It contains the settlements of Matmata (Maṭmāṭah), which is the home of Amazigh (Berber) olive growers, Al-Ḥāmmah (El-Hamma), which is a trading centre of the Beni Zid nomads, and several other important oases.

📍Musti, also known as Mest Henshir (Now El Krib), is an ancient city located in Siliana Governorate in northern Tunisia. It was an important town in the Roman era which was located along the Roman road that ran between Carthage and Tebessa. The ruins include the triumphal arch, the remains of three temples, a small 4th century Christian church, a basilica with three naves and a raised sacred area, in addition to a large Byzantine fortification.

📍Korbous lies on the Cap Bon peninsula and is set in a deep ravine that opens to the sea near the village of Sidi Rais. Surrounded by the Qorbus Forest, the area has been popular as a health resort since Roman times.
Built on a mountainside along a single street, the place was frequented by the Romans of Carthage, who came here by boat and called it Aquae Calideae Carpitanae (Eaux de Carpis), due to the hot springs rising to more than 50°C, as evidenced by the many Roman remains and an inscription now on display at the Bardo National Museum.
Fallen into oblivion, the site was only frequented by a local population after the Arab conquest. But in the 19th century, Ahmed Ier Bey gave it a new lease of life by building a pavilion that is now the town's hammam. In spite of its fame as a health resort, Korbous remains quiet and unassuming, but there are now plans to build a large spa with marina and luxury hotels.
In addition to the steam and water treatments, mud from nearby Aïn Kanassira is used, especially for the treatment of dermal diseases, rheumatism, arthritis and certain nervous system diseases.

📍 Thyna

Near the Tunisian seaside town of Ouled Bou Zerara lies a small but stately array of the ruins of an ancient city, Thyna — or Thaenae, as it was known over 3,000 years ago. The Phoenicians built this city, highlighting their work with mud bricks, high arches and intricate mosaics. The remaining buildings’ blended architectural style reflects the Roman takeover of Thyna, when pipes were added for running water and temperature control.
One historic site, a bathhouse for the rich, makes use of blue, red, yellow, green and white stones and mosaic tiles that still appear brilliant thousands of years after being placed. Pipes that carried water are still mounted upon the yellowed walls, and a well — used to steam water using fire and rock — remains so well-preserved that it appears to have been used just decades ago.
Pieces of square mosaic tile that have broken free from their constraints over the years lie undisturbed by tourists or locals. Sea air permeates this place, and papyrus runs rampant over the ancient stones.

📍 Hammamet

Stretched out across Cap Bon's southeastern coast like a lazy sunbather, laid-back Hammamet (‘the baths’ in Arabic) is Tunisia's original resort town. Early planning constraints dictated that hotels should not overreach the height of a tree, meaning that Hammamet's buildings sprawl horizontally, a far cry from the brutal high-rise developments that have scarred so many other Mediterranean coasts.
Hammamet is small-scale and suitably relaxed. The town's centre is packed with restaurants and shops, overlooked by its towering fort and medina walls.
The metamorphosis from quiet fishing village began in the 1920s with the arrival of Romanian millionaire George Sebastian and the European fast set. Today, Hammamet is a full-blown resort town, and hundreds of hotels dot the coast for almost 20km, from the walled-off bastions of Hammamet Nord to the wide, five-star-resort-lined boulevards of Yasmine Hammamet. Where the hotels stop, abruptly, the beach is once again wild and untouched.

📍Chenini

Chenini is the best known of the Berber hill villages and is an established part of the tour circuit from Tataouine. The approach to this village is a scenic rollercoaster of small hills and turns, but the village only comes into focus after rounding the mountain bend and looking up. A series of neat rock and mud-brick houses climb up the hill, to a beautiful white mosque situated on a saddle between the two ridges, which is visible for miles.

📍Douz

The town of Douz acts like a curtain for the wonders just to the south. Driving through the compact, narrow streets of the centre, you’ll wonder what all the hype is about. Why journey to this remote outpost which appears abandoned during the intense midday summer heat? But as the sun sets and the streets cool, Douz comes alive – the cafes around the central souq fill up and as you pass through the intervening palmeraie (palm grove), the sight of the Grand Erg Oriental reveals its magical self, a seeming mirage until you set foot on its sandy shore.
People here are naturally open and friendly, conscious that the local economy has depended on groups of foreigners turning giddy at the prospect of riding a camel, and that those tourists have been staying away in recent years.

📍 Olia Zriba

Zriba or Hammam Zriba is a city located about 60 kilometers south of Tunis at the foot of Jebel Zaghouan.
The ancient village, Zriba Olia (Upper Zriba), of Berber origin, is located about three kilometers south of Hammam Zriba. Built between two rocky peaks, the village now in ruins offers a view of the Jebel Zaghouan, the fourth highest peak in Tunisia after Jebel Chambi.
In the middle of the ancient village is a zawiya dedicated to Sidi Abdel Kader Jilani, founder of the Qadiriyya buried in Baghdad. This zaouïa, built in the seventeenth century, has been the subject of a very thorough restoration; it houses ancient architectural elements and played the role of Koranic school for young villagers.
Zriba was deserted by its inhabitants in the 1960s, after the development of the new city in the plain.

But however you choose to spend your time, don't miss a sightseeing trip to the oases of Tamerza, Chebika, and Midès, where you can appreciate some of the most stunning scenery Tunisia has to offer.
