They came as fugitives or adventurers, to conquer or to claim, warriors and missionaries, traders and farmers each leaving a part of their story in stone or mosaics on hills of Carthage and the threshold of the Sahara. This heritage, Tunisia’s greatest wealth has been held in trust and preserved in hundreds of sites and museums from the small Punic museum in Utica to the vast collections of the prestigious National Museum of Bardo.

 Tunisia has a very old tradition of "oriental-wellness" based on a visit to the hammam. A hammam is Tunisia’s variant of a steam bath, or the wet relative of the sauna. After performing a full body wash and receiving a massage, bathers can retire to the cooling room for a period of relaxation. In most of Tunisian hammams you can try "Ghassoul". It is a mineral clay with unique composition: it is extremely absorbent, making it excellent for cleansing, but unlike most clays which strip oils from the skin, ghassoul leaves skin amazingly soft. As it is rich in minerals, it also helps detoxify the skin whilst gently exfoliating.Tunisia is also famous for thalassotherapy & oriental Spa. It comes from the Greek word thalassa for ‘sea’ and refers to a variety of treatments that use seawater to revitalise the body and skin and in many cases to improve circulation. Other marine and ocean elements feature in this therapy including algae, mud and sand. All are cleaned and purified before use. Tunisia offers the best conditions for thalassotherapy: luxury 4* or 5* hotels directly on the beach, fresh seawater and seawater pools with professional medical teams. Special treatments with warmed-up seawater to 37°C, aquagym and seaweed wraps increase your metabolism, boost your energy and helps loosing weight. In Hydro Bathes controlled water jets create a water massage that has a healing and energising effect combined with the powerful detoxifying synergies of aromatherapy oils, the healing effects of mineral salts, and the rebalancing benefits of marine algae.
This country is an oasis of perfect greens. The view seems to be endless. Here, on the green fairways in front of the Mediterranean sea, the golf player has to concentrate and appreciate the beauty of the moment before hitting the ball.

The first golf course was built in 1920 in Carthage and until nowadays you can feel the long tradition of Golf in Tunisia in the shadow of the old eucalyptus-trees. Most of the courses were designed by Ronald Fream and each of them is a kind of masterpiece offering a challenge for every player.
