Description

This abandoned village perched on a hill reveals a unique atmosphere: stone houses, narrow streets, and landscapes as far as the eye can see.

Your last stop will be the city of Zaghouan, a city steeped in Andalusian history and spirituality.
Stroll around and visit the old Andalusian city and discover the perfumes, spices, and local Tunisian pastry workshop (kaak warka).
