Tunisia: A 7-Day In-Depth Journey Through a North African Dream

In a corner of the river of time, Tunisia quietly exudes a mysterious and charming aura, like a thick and wonderful book, each page filled with stories and legends. With a yearning for the unknown, I embarked on this North African land, starting a 7-day in-depth exploration. Upon arrival in Tunis, this city, blending modernity and antiquity, greeted me with its unique charm. The ruins of ancient Carthage, bathed in the glow of the setting sun, exuded the vicissitudes of history. Among the broken walls and remnants, the past glory is faintly visible, making one lament the ruthlessness of time and the weight of history. On the second day, I traveled to Sidi Bou Said, the blue and white town. The entire town is enveloped in pure blue and white, with scattered buildings seemingly transported from a fairy tale. Strolling through the narrow streets, with the sea breeze gently blowing, every corner is filled with poetry. Every snapshot taken is a beautiful picture. From the third to the fourth day, I delved into the Sahara Desert. In this vast and boundless desert, the sand dunes shift colors under the sunlight. Riding a camel, slowly traversing the desert, the camel bells ringing like the heartbeat of the desert. At night, lying in the embrace of the desert, looking up at the bright starry sky, the stars are within reach, making one indulge in the vastness and mystery of the universe. On the fifth day, I arrived in Kairouan. This holy city, known as the "Mecca of North Africa," boasts numerous magnificent mosques. The Aghlabid Basins, with their exquisite architectural structure, are truly admirable. They are not only a masterpiece of hydraulic engineering but also a testament to history and culture. On the sixth day, I came to Sousse. The Mediterranean sun shines generously on this land, with golden beaches and azure waters complementing each other. The ancient Medina is filled with a rich Arabian atmosphere, with a dazzling array of handicrafts, as if narrating the prosperity of the past. On the last day, I concluded my journey in Mahdia. The coastal scenery here is unique, with historical relics and modern life coexisting harmoniously. While savoring the local delicacies and reminiscing about the past 7 days, my heart was filled with reluctance. Tunisia, in 7 days, left a deep impression on me. Its history, culture, and natural landscapes, like bright stars, illuminated my journey. This time in Tunisia will forever be treasured in my heart, becoming an unforgettable and beautiful memory in my life.
