The experience

Sidi Bousaid sits on a hill overlooking the entire Gulf of Tunis, and the drive from Hammamet takes one hour. The village is built around white and blue houses with doors decorated with nails: details that reflect Andalusian medieval architecture. You'll have the afternoon to walk the streets, photograph the bougainvillea in different colors, and take in the panoramic view over the water at your own pace.

The tour includes an air-conditioned vehicle for the round trip, and your hotel pickup is arranged. Café des Délices, named after the Patrick Bruel song, is a stop worth finding. You're free to linger in the village as long as you want before the return journey, which also takes one hour.

What’s included

• Air-conditioned vehicle for the round trip.
