Stop At: Maktaris, Makthar 6414 Tunisia
Mactaris is a city of Numidian origin located on a plateau at the northern edge of the Tunisian ridge. It is located at the limit between the North-West and the Center-West of Tunisia, and was once one of the richest regions of Tunisia; it is enough to see its stelae preserved in the museum of the site as well as the density of the megalithic tombs, the monuments which are drawn up until our days to realize the antiquity of the occupation and the importance of the cited. The city played a commercial role going beyond the strictly local framework, its excellent location in the geometric center of Tunisia and at the watershed point between the two slopes enabled it to control the most important passages in the region.
The installation of man in the region is very old, it has been occupied for more than 2800 years as evidenced by the megaliths that have been encountered throughout the site. The birth of a city called Makthar dates back to the 4th century BC with the Numidian kings.
Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes
Stop At: Kasra, Tunisia
Kesra is the highest village in Tunisia “perched at 1100 meters above sea level and is considered among the first Berber villages.
Cradle of Berber, Punic, Roman, Byzantine, and Islamic civilizations, Kesra remains one of these mythical cities clinging to a rocky hill, in the center-west of the country, 175 km from Tunis, 20 km from Makhtar,
In this village where the past and the present intertwine, the life of the inhabitants, quite conservative, takes place around ancient and ancestral traditions and social practices.
A natural fortress in itself, with its strategic position at altitude dominating the surrounding plains and the presence of natural water sources,
The beauty of the panoramas as far as the eye can see over the fields and the landscapes of wild nature combined with the total absence of pollution, invite you to travel and provide a real cure for oxygenation, a real sanatorium as the legend of Kesra wants it.
Duration: 2 hours

Traveling with Ghassan was a delight! He has a great knowledge of his homeland of Tunisia and a passion to share it's history, people and customs with travelers. As a female traveling alone he made me feel safe and comfortable. I highly recommend!
