The 4 Days Itinerary | Upon RequestBeyond the Gates: Tunisia
4 days of slow tracingTunisia doesn’t open itself, it seeps in
Perhaps not a guide, not quite a map.
more a sequence of moments
that ask to be felt rather than followed.
❋ Your AccommodationBegin where the city still breathes inwards, inside a traditional Dar, a house of quiet thresholds, where الضوء filters through courtyards and time folds into itself.
❋ The Art MomentumLet art gently settle within you.
Explore a contemporary art gallery, where space expands, light slows, and you begin to see what cannot be explained, only entered.
❋ The Culinary ExperienceThen simply leave the city behind.
Return to what is essential: hands, traditions, earth, time, waiting. Cooking becomes memory, before it becomes taste. Embrace the sweetness of cooking and caring.
❋ Between Past and Present CultureA file rouge between the National Museum, where time feels still and layered, mosaics carry centuries within their fragments; and a Cultural Association, where Tunisia is never fixed, but softly rewritten in the present, as if the past were still learning how to become tomorrow.
A country still deeply rooted in its origins, yet quietly leaning toward tomorrow.
A slow, felt discovery, an invitation to rediscover the quiet, enduring pleasures of conscious travel.

Tunisia begins softly.
From the airport, a private transfer leads you into the heart of the medina, where a traditional Tunisian dar quietly awaits behind hidden doors and sunlit passages.

A private transfer then leads into the Tunisian countryside, where Lamia welcomes guests into her home filled with memory, family stories, and the warmth of lived gestures.
MorningThrough a traditional cooking class, guests are invited to rediscover the beauty of simplicity: hands in flour, the scent of spices, slow preparations, and recipes passed down with care rather than measurements.
LunchBack in Tunis, the evening softens over a light aperitivo served on the panoramic terrace of a historic palace, now transformed into one of the city’s most refined five-star hotels.
Aperidinner Day 3Art, Silence & Perspectives

Welcomed by a gallery expert, and, upon availability, by the artist themselves, guests are introduced to the layered world of Tunisian contemporary and modern art: a dialogue between identity, memory, and experimentation.
MorningLunch unfolds by the sea at an iconic Mediterranean restaurant suspended between nostalgia and elegance, where long tables, salt air, and slow lunches have shaped generations of Tunisian life.
