Tunisia Classic North-South Loop
Head south from Tunis to the oases and the Sahara, then return north via El Jem, connecting major World Heritage sites.
The most popular route run by travel agencies for first-time visitors, covering ancient ruins, medinas, oases, and sand dunes. Heading south via Kairouan and Gafsa avoids Kasserine Governorate. Most days involve long drives, with Day 7 being the most tiring at around 400 km, making a chartered car with a driver more hassle-free than self-driving. The trade-off is that beaches and Djerba Island are excluded; if you want a beach vacation, you can add extra days at the end.
From June to August, temperatures in the south often exceed 40°C in the afternoon; in winter, desert nights can drop close to 5°C.
