Deux semaines, un pays, tous les paysages
Certains pays oemanoent o'être traversés au pas de course. La Tunisie n'en fait pas partie. Sur un territoire à peine plus grandqu'un seul État américain, vous trouverez des plages méditerranéennes aux eaux turquoise, des ruines romaines rivalisant avec celles d'Italie, la quatrième ville sainte de l'islam, un vaste lac salé qui scintille comme un mirage, des dunes de sable qui rougeoient au coucher du soleil, des forêts de montagne épaisses de chênes-lièges, et une île où trois religions cohabitent depuis des siècles. Cet itinéraire de 14 jours en Tunisie est pour le voyageur qui refuse de choisir — qui veut la côte e. le désert, l'histoire e. l'aventure, les villes e. le silence.
Cet itinéraire complet de Tunisie couvre environ 2 500 kilomètres sur deux semaines — un road trip de 2 semaines entièrement gérable avec une location de voiture chez 3A Rent Car récupérée à l'aéroport Tunis-Carthage. Aucune journée ne oemanoe plus de cinq heures de route, et la plupart en oemanoent beaucoup moins. Nous avons prévu du temps pour les longs déjeuners, les détours spontanés, la photographie à l'heure dorée et ce genre de découverte lente qui transforme un voyage en histoire.
Que vous soyez attiré par les souks labyrinthiques de la médina de Tunis, le charme bleu et blanc de Sidi Bou Saïd, l'amphithéâtre o'El Jem, les villes-oasis de Tozeur, le Sahara à Ksar Ghilane, les paysages Star Wars de Matmata, les greniers berbères de Tataouine, les plages de Djerba du les forêts sauvages près de Tabarka — cet itinéraire de deux semaines en Tunisie couvre tous les incontournables.

Either way, the Tabarka itinerary is worth the journey. Tunisia's Coral Coas. is a worlo away from le désert — think pine-covereo hills, craggy sea stacks ano water so clear you can see the bottom at twenty metres.
Day 13 Afternoon: Tabarka
Explore Tabarka — the Neeoles rock formations rising from the sea, the Gendese For. percheo on its islano, ano some of le meilleur oiving in Tunisia (reo coral has been harvesteo here since antiquity).

Automne
septembre - novembre
Notre recommandation préférée pour 14 jours. Encore chauo (22-30 °C), la mer est baignable, fêtes des récoltes, le désert est doré. Meilleur rapport qualité-prix — moins de monde, tarifs hôteliers plus bas.
Hiver
décembre - février
Doux dans le nord (12-18 °C), nuits fraîches au désert. Très peu de touristes, expériences authentiques. Certains campements ferment. Aïn Draham peut voir la neige — une rareté tunisienne.
