(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Kasbah Of Le Kef
Climb up to the Ottoman citadel which faces a sumptuous panorama of fields and forests. The Kef's main attraction can be spotted from nearly everywhere around the city. A stronghold of some sort has occupied this site since the 5th century BC. The fortress boasts great views across the rolling blue-green landscape dotted with pine trees. Built in 1600 by the Ottomans, the Citadel of Kef dominates like “a golden crown” the hill of “Djebel Addir” in the Tunisian town of Kef. The Kasbah Citadel is considered a shining jewel in this calm city and has remained standing and unshakeable for four centuries, despite invasions, opening its arms like a guardian angel that protects it from external threats, on the northwest side of the country.
Le Kef
High in the hills, authentic and charming Le Kef is one of Tunisia’s most underrated tourist destinations. The old town offers just part of its proudly multicultural heritage, from the Carthaginian town of Sicca to becoming the provincial capital of Tunisia during WWII. Kef cascades on the mountainside, and the white domes of the Sidi Boumakhlouf mosque watch over the medina. The Walk tour through its alleys and stairs, encountering many vestiges of Antiquity scattered throughout the old city.
Musti

It was located along a Roman road connecting Carthage and Tebessa. Indeed, Mustis was a former metropolis whose rural suburbs covered an area of more than 34 ha. Founded by the Numidian tribes, it was then conquered by the Roman Empire in the 2nd century BC. AD Then, a Roman colony was founded there and the Roman general Gaius Marius established his veterans there. Later, the city was elevated to the status of a municipality by Julius Caesar.
