Le Lezard Rouge is an old beyical train that leaves Metlaoui every day except Monday. It travels across the flat rocky desert that surrounds this Southern Tunisian town, up through the Selja Gorge, and on to the phosphate mining areas in the mountains.

Besides the old fashion charm of the train, the trip provides a glimpse of rugged crags, sparkling mountain springs and deep ravines.

As you leave Metlaoui, the train runs alongside the local market, and gives a long whistle blast as we approach a road crossing. Donkeys and kids scatter.

And now we are travelling across the desert floor towards the mountains. It's a hard rocky surface with occasional dry creek beds and a lonely white mosque that glints in the morning sun.

If you want to experience more of Tunisia than just a beach holiday ... you can be together self guided tours for individuals and small groups by either minibus, 4x4 or self-drive car.

There are two main shopping streets in the medina: rue de la Kasbah and rue Jemaa Zitouna. Both begin at Place de la Victoire where the medina meets the Ville Nouvelle. From here they lead deep into the heart of the medina. You can buy everything imaginable along these streets, though much of it is aimed at tourists. Prices are, of course, negotiable and part of the experience of shopping in the medina is bargaining with the shopkeepers.

What to Eat

In most hotels, your mealtime menu will be in English, and maybe the languages of other guests as well. The same goes for restaurants. You'll find all the familiar European dishes, with Tunisia, like the rest of the Mediterranean, adopting the "Continental breakfast." But, it would be a pity to miss the traditional Tunisian specialties. So, thank the French and congratulate the Arabs! For Tunisian cuisine is a subtle combination of both. Starters are an art in themselves. Mechouia is a salad of diced tomatoes, green and red peppers, hard boiled egg, tunny fish and capers, soaked in olive oil and lemon juice. Brik—which you'll find on all traditional menus—is a triangular envelope of crispy pastry containing a whole egg, minced parsley and onion. Don't drop a brik in Tunisia—it could be messy.

Cous-cous, another favorite, is a robust stew of lamb, poultry, or fish with vegetables on a bed of steamed grain semolina. The Tunisian Mediterranean is full of fish. Sea bass, bream, grouper, red mullett, sardines, giant shrimps, squid and succulent lobsters.

Tunisian sweets tend to be just that, often pastries based on nuts and honey. If you don't have a sweet tooth, the endless variety of fruits—straight from the tree, in most cases ó will make up for it. Tunisian coffee, rich and flavorful, is excellent; but, don't forget to try the refreshing mint tea, served in tiny glasses.

Tunisian wine is a revelation. Hearty reds like Haut Mornag, Magon and Sidi Saad. Gris de Tunisie, Sidi Rais and Koudiat are delicate roses—perfect for summer drinking—and whites include Thibar, Koudiat, Muscat de Kelibia and Blanc de Blanc. Boukha a "fig brandy" is much cheaper than imported spirits and the locals mix it with Coke. Thibarine is the elegant liqueur. And local Celtia beer is light and cooling. No, it isn't France, nor Spain, Italy or Greece. Tunisia. Where else?

There are eight major airports in Tunisia, with international flights arriving at most hubs including Tunis-Carthage, Monastir, Jerba, Tozeur and Tabarka

Bardo Museum is a museum in Tunis, Tunisia. It was originally a 13th century Hafsid palace, located in the (then) suburbs of Tunis. It contains a major collection of Roman mosaics and other antiquities of interest from Ancient Greece, Tunisia, and from the Arab period.

It displays objects ranging from prehistorical artefacts to modern jewellery.

Tunis was considered one of the greatest and wealthiest cities in the Islamic world under the Almohads and the Hafsids, from the 12th to the 16th century.

Carthage (Latin Carthago) was a great city of antiquity, on the northern coast of Africa. Dido was the legendary founder and queen of Carthage. The city was probably established as a trading post toward the end of the 9th century BC by Phoenicians. The earliest artifacts unearthed by archaeologists at the site date from 800 BC. Built on a peninsula jutting into the Gulf of Tunis, Carthage had two splendid harbors, connected by a canal. Above the harbors on a hill was the Byrsa, a walled fortress.
