You step out of the van at dawn and the air tastes of sea and citrus — white houses and a blue-hued kafala give way to rolling olive groves, then limestone that hardens into Roman mosaics. Over six days this private tour moves like a stitched map: Carthage’s Byrsa hill and the Bardo’s mosaics, the blue of Sidi Bou Said, the Ottoman and French traces in Tunis, then inland to Roman Dougga, the holy city of Kairouan, and finally the stark, shifting dunes of the Sahara at Douz and the salt flats of Tozeur.
