Horseback riding vacations in Tunisia
|
Tunisia is Africa’s smallest country, but is packed with enough diversity as a continent! Vestiges of former rulers dot the landscape: the remains of the mighty city of Carthage; Roman ruins that demonstrate this was Rome’s richest imperial province; medieval medinas (walled cities) built at the beginning of the Arabic era; and elegant 19th century French colonial boulevards. Tunisia’s cuisine is also a delicious mélange – French, North African, Middle Eastern and Turkish.
Horse Riding in Tunisia
Hidden Trails have three fascinating horse riding holidays in Tunisia. On our Sahara and Mountain Oasis horseback riding tour you can explore the desert dunes on a feisty Arabian horse, visit Berber camps, and gallop alongside the Atlas Mountains. On the coast our Sidi Bou Said and Monastir Star treks introduce you to the charming seaside village of Sidi Bou Said, and explore such Tunisian highlights as the Medina of Tunis and Carthage.
Tunisia Culture and History
Tunisia, a melting-pot of different civilizations, has a rich cultural activity, as testified by its prestigious museums and cultural institutions and by the various international festivals held throughout the year.

Well known seaside resort areas (Sousse, Monastir, Hammamet and Nabeul, Djerba and Tabarka) offer visitors the finest sand beaches and crystalline water along with a dizzying choice of waterfront hotels featuring sun and sea sports as windsurfing and sailing, underwater sightseeing, fishing and of course horseback riding. Hotels are built with the visitor's comfort and enjoyment in mind and their restaurants feature both international as well as Tunisian Cuisine.
During the peak summer season no effort is spared to provide the maximum of activities at the hotel and throughout the region. Summer festivals held nearby invite you join in with your Tunisian hosts to celebrate Father Neptune, share their local folklore, enjoy a concert or just have fun.

Galloping on an Arabian steed alongside wild camels in the Saharan sand dunes may sound very "Lawrence of Arabia' but then again, so much of this weeklong horseback ride seems straight out of a movie: from pausing at an oasis to watching the sunset from your perch in the Atlas mountains to sitting down to mint tea and couscous at a traditional Berber camp. Watch the sunrise and sunset over the Sahara sand dunes and Star Wars film sets.
