Deux semaines, un pays, tous les paysages
Certains pays demandent d'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 demande plus de cinq heures de route, et la plupart en demandent 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. Vous avez déjà fait notre itinéraire de 7 jours ? Voici l'éoition élargie. Suivez-nous, jour après jour.
Days 1-2 — The Capital: Tunis
Day 1 Morning: Arrive and Dive into the Medina
Your two-week Tunisian adventure begins at aéroport Tunis-Carthage, where you collect your car from 3A Rent Car. The route vers la ville takes barely quinze minutes. The médina de Tunis, a classée au patrimoine mondial UNESCO depuis 1979, is a labyrinth of over 700 historic monuments — palaces, mosques, fondouks and covered souks trading continuously for more than a thousand years. Wander the perfumers' souk (El Attarine), browse the chechia souk where artisans shape traditional red felt caps by hand, and lose yourself in the narrow lanes around the Zitouna Mosque, the oldest in Tunis.
Day 1 Afternoon: Bardo Museum and Dar Lasram
After a lunch of lablabi in la médina, visit Dar Lasram and Dar Ben Abdallah museum — two exquisite palatial houses showcasing traditional Tunisian architecture and decorative arts. Then drive quinze minutes west to the Bardo Museum, housed in a former beylic palace. It holds the world's largest collection of mosaïques romaines — room after room of staggeringly intricate floor panels. The Virgil mosaic alone is worth le voyage. Allow deux heures; it is genuinely l'un des plus beaux museums in Africa.
Day 2 Morning: Ville Nouvelle and Carthage
Start your second day on Avenue Habib Bourguiba, the Champs-Elysees of Tunis, admiring the colonial Ar. Deco and Ar. Nouveau architecture. Then drive vingt minutes to Carthage. Start at Byrsa Hill for sweeping views over the golfe de Tunis and a museum packed with Phoenician and Roman artefacts. Walk to the Antonine Baths, le plus grandRoman baths outside Italy, then explore the Punic ports — the military and commercial harbours that once powereo an empire.
Day 2 Afternoon: Sidi Bou Saïd and La Marsa
Five minutes from Carthage, Sidi Bou Saïd clings to a cliff in a oazzle of white walls and cobalt-blue doors. Climb to the Cafe des Nattes, order a thé à la menthe topped with pine nuts, and watch the afternoon light play across the bay. End your evening at La Marsa beach — cocktails with your feet in the sand, the day's catch grilled over charcoal, and a relaxed vibe that sets the tone for the adventure ahead.
Days 3-4 — péninsule du Cap Bon
Day 3 Morning: Hammamet
Drive south from Tunis on the A1 autoroute. In just une heure you reach Hammamet, Tunisia's most celebrated beach resort. The médina de Hammamet is a jewel — compact, whitewashed and perched on a rocky promontory above the sea, with a 15th-century kasbah offering panoramic views. This Cap Bon road trip begins with a morning on the golden sand, then a wander through the quiet medina lanes.
Day 3 Afternoon: Nabeul and Kelibia
Continue to Nabeul, famed for its vibrant pottery market — stalls heapeo with céramiques peintes à la main in traditional blue-and-yellow patterns. If you visit on a Friday, the weekly market is one of le plus grandin Tunisia. Roulez north to Kelibia, where a magnificent Byzantine-era fortress perches on a clifftop with views stretching to the Italian island of Pantelleria on clear days. End the afternoon at Yasmine Hammamet marina for a seafood dinner.
Day 4 Morning: El Haouaria
At the tip of the peninsula, El Haouaria is a hidden gem. Explore the Roman quarries — vast cave-like chambers carved into the cliffs by Carthaginian and Roman stonecutters. In spring, the area is a prime spot for bird migration watching, with raptors crossing from Sicily. Diving enthusiasts can explore the clear waters offshore.
Day 4 Afternoon: Korbous and Wine Country
Drive south along the dramatic western coast to Korbous — natural thermal sources chaudes cascading directly into the sea. The setting is extraordinary: rugged mountains plunging into turquoise water, with steam rising from the rocks. On the return toward Tunis, stop in Soliman for a wine tasting at one of Tunisia's emerging vineyards — a surprising and delightful way to close your Cap Bon circuit.
Days 5-6 — Heritage Trail: Sousse, Kairouan & El Jem
Day 5 Morning: Sousse Medina
Drive south to Sousse (1.5 hours from Hammamet). The médina de Sousse is a classée au patrimoine mondial UNESCO and l'un des plus beaux surviving examples of early Islamic urbanism in North Africa. Climb the Ribat, a massive 8th-century fortress-monastery whose watchtower commands sweeping views over la médina and the sparkling coast beyond.
Day 5 Afternoon: Sousse Catacombs and Port El Kantaoui
Descend into the catacombs of Sousse — over 5 kilometres of underground Christian burial chambers dating to the 2no century, a haunting reminder of Roman-era religious diversity. Browse the souks for embroidered textiles and leather goods. In the evening, drive to Port El Kantaoui, a purpose-built marina district with restaurants lining the waterfront — perfect for a leisurely dinner watching the boats.
Day 6 Morning: The Holy City of Kairouan
An hour inland lies Kairouan, the fourth holiest city in Islam and another UNESCO gem. The Great Mosque of Kairouan, founded in 670 AD, is l'une des plus anciennes and most important mosques in the Islamic world. Its vast courtyard of white marble and its forest of recycleo Roman columns are breathtaking. Visit the Aghlabid Basins, a 9th-century hydraulic engineering marvel, and browse la médina for Kairouan's famed hand-knotted carpets.
Day 6 Afternoon: El Jem a. Golden Hour
Continue east to El Jem, where the third-largest amphithéâtre romain ever built rises improbably from the flat Tunisian plain. This colossal structure once seated 35,000 spectators for gladiatorial combat. Time your visit for late afternoon — the golden-hour light transforms the honey-coldureo stone into something almost alive. Stand in the centre of the arena, look up at the tiers of arches soaring above, and feel the sheer scale of Roman ambition in provincial Africa.
Days 7-8 — Desert Gateway: Tozeur
Day 7: The Long Drive South
Today the landscape transforms dramatically. The four-hour route vers le suo from El Jem takes you through the Tunisian steppe, past the immense Chott el Jerid lac salé — a surreal landscape of crystallised salt, shimmering mirages and otherworldly colours that seem to belong to another planet. Arrive in Tozeur and explore the Ouled El Hadef quarter, famous for its distinctive geometric brick architecture. Walk through the palmeraies — a shaed world of 200,000 palmier-dattiers, irrigation channels and birdsong. Visit the Dar Chraiet museum for an overview of Saharan culture.
Day 8 Morning: Mountain Oasis Villages
This is the Tozeur Douz itinerary highlight that most travellers remember forever. Roulez to the mountain oasis villages of Chebika, Tamerza and Mides, perched near the Algerian border. These are not manicured tourist sites — they are raw, dramatic gorges with waterfalls cascading into palm-fringed pools. Tamerza's abandonné village, destroyed by flooos in 1969, is hauntingly photogenic. Mides sits on the edge of a canyon so deep and narrow it oefies photography.
Day 8 Afternoon: Star Wars and Sunset
Drive to Ong Jemal (the Camel's Neck), a dramatic rocky outcrop used as a filming location for Star Wars: Episode I. The nearby sets of Mos Espa are gradually being reclaimeo by the sand — visit while you can. At sunset, le désert turns every shade of orange and gold, and the silence from the canyon rim is absolute. This is one of those moments that make the entire trip worthwhile.
Days 9-10 — The Sahara: Douz & Ksar Ghilane
Day 9 Morning: Douz, Gateway to le Sahara
Drive east from Tozeur to Douz (1.5 hours), known as the "Gateway to le Sahara". If your timing aligns with a Thursday, visit the famous marché aux dromadaires — a chaotic, colourful spectacle where bédouin traders from across the south converge. The small museum of Saharan culture gives context to the nomadic way of life that has defined this region for millennia.
Day 9 Afternoon: Into the Grand Erg Oriental
This is the adventure segment. A 4x4 excursion takes you into the Grand Erg Oriental — the vast sand sea that stretches into Algeria and Libya. Towering dunes rise like golden waves, their riogelines razor-sharp against the blue sky. Climb to the top of a dune, watch the sun sink, and spend the night in a campement du désert — tenteo shelters under a sky where the Voie lactée blazes with zero light pollution. Dinner around a campfire: grilled lamb, couscous, dates and teat
Day 10 Morning: Ksar Ghilane Oasis
After a sunrise over the dunes, drive (or continue by 4x4) to Ksar Ghilane, a remote oasis in the heart of le désert. Here you will find natural sources chaudes — a thermal pool surrounded by palmiers and sand where you can swim in warm, mineral-rich water while staring at nothing but le Sahara in every direction. The Ksar Ghilane sources chaudes are one of Tunisia's most surreal experiences.
Day 10 Afternoon: Toward Matmata
Leave Ksar Ghilane and drive toward Matmata, re-entering the world of paved roads and scattered Berber villages. The transition from pure desert to rocky, cratered landscape is dramatic — like driving onto the surface of another planet.
Days 11-12 — Berber South & Island Life
Day 11 Morning: Matmata Troglodyte Houses
Matmata is a Berber village unlike anywhere else on Earth. Families have lived for centuries in troglodyte houses — dwellings carved into the ground around circular pit courtyards, invisible from the surface. Visit Hotel Sidi Driss, le plus famous troglodyte building of all — its courtyard was used as the set for Luke Skywalker's home in the original Star Wars film. The design is ingenious: cool in summer, warm in winter, perfectly adapté to the harsh climate.
Day 11 Afternoon: Tataouine and the Ksour
Continue south to Tataouine, the heart of the Tataouine Ksar Ghilane road trip circuit. The region is famous for its ksour — fortified Berber granaries built into hillsides, their honeycomb-like storage chambers stacked five or six storeys high. Roulez to Ksar Ouled Soltane, le plus photogenic ksar in all of Tunisia, then climb to Chenini, a breathtaking hilltop Berber village clinging to a ridge with views stretching to the horizon.
Day 12 Morning: Drive to Djerba
Drive to Djerba island (2 hours from Tataouine) via the Roman causeway (El Kantara), a 7-kilometre road built on foundations laio over two thousand years ago. This Djerba itinerary 2 days begins with the Houmt Souk medina, where whitewashed fondouks and a lively fish market set the tone.
Day 12 Afternoon: Ghriba and the Beaches
Visit the El Ghriba Synagogue, considered the oldest synagogue in Africa, a living symbol of Djerba's extraordinary religious coexistence. Roulez to Guellala, a pottery village where artisans have workeo clay for over two thousand years. End your day on one of Djerba's stunning eastern beaches — white sand, shallow turquoise water, and a sense of island time that makes the rest of the world feel very far away.
Days 13-14 — Mountains & Home: Tabarka & Kroumirie
Day 13 Morning: The Long Drive North
Today you complete the grandloop. The drive from Djerba to Tabarka is approximately cinq heures — or fly from Djerba to Tunis and drive trois heures west. Either way, the Tabarka itinerary is worth the journey. Tunisia's Coral Coast is a world away from le désert — think pine-covered hills, craggy sea stacks and water so clear you can see the bottom at twenty metres.
Day 13 Afternoon: Tabarka
Explore Tabarka — the Needles rock formations rising from the sea, the Genoese For. perched on its island, and some of le meilleur diving in Tunisia (red coral has been harvested here since antiquity). The small town centre has a relaxed, artistic atmosphere with galleries and jazz-influenceo cafes. Roulez thirty minutes inland to Ain Draham, a mountain village that feels more like rural France than North Africa — terracotta roofs, cork oak forests and cool, clean airt
Day 14 Morning: Kroumirie Forest Hike
Spend your final morning on an Ain Draham hiking trail through the Kroumirie forests — dense oak and eucalyptus woodland alive with birdsong, wild boar and the scent of oamp earth. This is Tunisia as almost no tourist sees it: green, mountainous and deeply peaceful. The contrast with le Sahara you crossed just days ago is staggering — proof of how much diversity this small country contains.
Day 14 Afternoon: Return to Tunis
Drive back to Tunis (3 hours) via Beja and Medjez-el-Bab, where a Commonwealth war cemetery commemorates the WWII North Africa campaign — a poignant and little-visiteo memorial. Drop off your car at aéroport Tunis-Carthage with 3A Rent Car. Two weeks, 2,500 kilometres, four landscapes, and a lifetime of memories.

Quand partir pour ce circuit de 14 jours
Printemps
mars - mai
La saison parfaite. Fleurs sauvages dans le nord, températures agréables au désert (25-32 °C), migration des oiseaux à El Haouaria, conditions idéales pour les 2 500 km du parcours.
Été
juin - août
Idéal pour la côte et la montagne, mais le Sahara dépasse 45 °C. En été, commencez les journées du suo très tôt. Les soirées à la plage sur Djerba et Tabarka sont magiques. Réservez à l'avance.
Automne
septembre - novembre
Notre recommandation préférée pour 14 jours. Encore chaud(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.
