Atlas Mountains Berber Villages Tour from Hammamet
The remote Berber villages of Tunisia's Atlas Mountains are about as far away from modernity as you can get. On this tour, you'll be whisked away in an off-road vehicle into these highlands to visit the Roman ruins of Zaghouan and Uthina as well as the mountain village Zriba El Alya. Mohamed, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘Zriba El Alya was deserted in the 1960s after the development of the new town in the plain. But four to five families still live here among the ruins, which now mostly serve as sheepfolds.'Your Atlas adventure begins at the little-visited Uthina, which is still being excavated by archaeologists. Admire the amphitheatre – up to 16,000 spectators watched gladiatorial combats – the magnificent mosaics unearthed in villas and more. The Roman theme continues at the Zaghouan Water Temple, site of an ancient sacred spring. Its location, fringed by pine trees at the foot of a mountain, gives an indication of just how revered it was by the ancients.We'll then drop into a Zaghouan eco-lodge set in beautiful gardens for a Tunisian pastry cookery demonstration and a typical lunch made from locally sourced ingredients. What's more, your visit contributes to the local community and economy. The day's final stop is the half-ruined Berber village of Zriba El Alya, which lies on a craggy ridge. It boasts superb views of Djebel Zaghouan, the fourth highest peak in Tunisia, and the coastline. Your guide will fill you in on the story behind its hard-to-reach location.

Tunisia's rich cultural heritage takes centre stage on this action-packed tour. You'll visit the market town of Nabeul, then explore an ancient fortress and a ruined Phoenician city. There's a typical local lunch and a view over coastal caves, too. Mehdi, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘The ruins at Kerkouane offer a glimpse into the daily life of the ancient Phoenicians as it is the only surviving town from this period that was not built over by the Romans. You'll see the remains of houses, workshops and public buildings, all laid out in a grid pattern which is still clearly visible.'We'll begin with a visit to Nabeul, known as the home of pottery. Here, you'll see the traditional techniques used to create striking, colourful ceramic pieces – save some space in your luggage as these make great souvenirs to take home. Next, we'll explore the 16th-century Byzantine citadel of Kelibia Fort, which offers sweeping views of the Mediterranean Sea. Our next stop is Kerkouane, one of the best-preserved cities of the ancient Phoenicians. Admire the intricate stonework and layout and learn about its role in the region.After exploring Kerkouane, we'll take a break to enjoy a freshly prepared Tunisian lunch. You'll have the opportunity to taste a variety of traditional dishes and sample Tunisian wine at a wine tasting.
