Tunisia // 2 Week Itinerary and Guide

Tunisia // 2 Week Itinerary and Guide

Lee Walker
Tunisia is definitely underrated. Mediterranean beaches, Roman ruins, UNESCO World Heritage Sites, the Sahara desert, movie sets (*ahem* Star Wars), the smells and visual overload of the souks in the medinas. I'm blown away by how Tunisia is often over looked as a North African destination. Not only is it extremely affordable it's safe and easy to travel in. So get that linen shirt on! Here are my tips, tricks and advice for the perfect two week Tunisian adventure, solo or not 🐪

Welcome! And thanks for reading my guide to Tunisia! 🇹🇳

I traveled to Tunisia solo in early June of 2022. Not only is Tunisia easy to travel in as a solo female, the friendly people and relaxed atmosphere made me feel safe and welcomed. Tunisia has a small population of only 12 million people so that probably lends to its laid back vibe.

Tunisia is a Muslim country and a very progressive one at that. Get ready to hear the call to mosque! With 1000s of years of history involving many different cultures and religions (Phoenician to Roman to Arab to Ottoman to French) setting up shop there, the history is rich in this country. In fact Tunisia is where the Arab spring began in the early 2010s. That revolution eventually led to a thorough democratization of the country, to free and democratic elections and to some of the most progressive laws for women's rights in the Islamic world. 

• Overview

This is a two week itinirary where I took 1 flight and highered 2 drivers. In hind site, knowing how safe the roads are, I would have rented a car to do a loop from Tunis to Tozeur, south-east through the desert, to the coast and then back to Tunis. 

• 2 full days, 3 nights in Tunis

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Lee Walker
Hello travel friends! Lock downs are done, life is short, so let's get back out there! I’m not an influencer, travel vloger or travel agent, nor am I sponsored by anyone. I'm just someone who loves to travel and am here to offer you authentic experiences. All my guides and itineraries are based off of the travelling I have done myself. They feature advice and experiences that support locals and local businesses. They also feature “In Hindsight” tips. These are the things I would do differently if I were to do the trip all over again. My style of travel leans more towards off the beaten track. I like to visit sites and cities that avoid crowds but I do understand that some places are touristy for a reason. Since I did my years of hosteling and backpacking in my 20s, I now prefer my own room, usually my own bathroom and will book a flight over a 12 hour bus ride. That being said, I stick to a budget and am not afraid to sacrifice some comfort to explore this wonderful and beautiful planet. Even though I don't remember living abroad as a baby, I do remember the trip my family took to Türkiye when I was six and then to Egypt at the age of ten. These two trips were formative and shaped how I view the world. My parents loved to explore the world and dragged me and my sister around with them. As an adult I've travelled to Thailand, Indonesia, Nepal, Morocco, France, Italy, Germany, Britain, the U.S. and of course my home country, Canada. Well to be fair, I have yet to go to the Maritimes but it's on my list! One of my most memorable trips was putting all my belongings in storage and venturing off to Central and South America for four months. While I was there I volunteered in Bolivia for one month and spent six weeks exploring Peru. My aunt also ran a very successful tour company in Morocco for a number of years so the travel blood runs thick in my family. Ok let's get planning!!
