Journey Through Tunisia - Africa Travel Documentary
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 чер 2024
- Tunisia has been at the crossroads of civilizations for millennia and is a fascinating place to travel to. It’s the smallest nation in North Africa, but boasts enough history, culture, and natural beauty to match countries many times its size.
With its spectacular coastline, it’s often seen as a beach holiday destination, but venture a little further and you’ll discover a country full of vibrant cities, traditional cultures, delicious food, captivating historic sites, and friendly, welcoming people.
In this video, I’m traversing Tunisia, exploring some of the country’s most beautiful places. From the busy streets of capital Tunis to remote desert oases near Tozeur. From traditional Berber villages like Tamezret and Chenini to the long and beautiful beaches of Sousse. From the mountain scenery around Tataouine to the rolling dunes of the Sahara desert. From the relaxed vibe and friendly towns on Djerba island to the ancient archaeological sites of El Jem and Carthage. And from the impressive Great Mosque of Kairouan to the bustling alleys of Sfax’s historic medina.
This travel documentary was made in June 2023, when I had the chance to travel around Tunisia for 2,5 weeks.

Here’s a brief overview of the content in this video:
We start our journey in Tunis, the vibrant capital city of Tunisia. It provides a great introduction to the country, with an intriguing historic medina, bustling markets, lively street scenes, great food and welcoming people. Not far from here are the picturesque Sidi bou Said, one of Tunisia’s most visited villages, and the ancient archaeological site of Carthage. Both can be visited as day trips from Tunis.
After renting a car, we drive South to the Berber village of Takrouna, to try some delicious home made bread. The next destination in Sousse, a popular beach vacation destination, that also offers a friendly medina, historic landmarks, and a stunning museum with spectacular mosaics.
We briefly stop in Monastir to visit the Ribat and Mausoleum of Habib Bourguiba, to many still seen as the ‘Father of the Nation’, before arriving in El Jem. This small town is home to one of the best preserved amphitheaters in the world.
Kairouan is considered the fourth holiest city in Islam, after Mecca, Medina, and Jerusalem. At the core of the city stands the imposing Great Mosque that remains an important place of worship. We also go in search of carpets here, for which Kairouan is famous.
After passing Sidi Bouzid, generally considered as the starting point of the so called Arab Spring, we continue to Tozeur, a small city on the edge of the Sahara. Reaching this far-flung outpost proved quite a challenge, as a sandstorm suddenly picked up. Around Tozeur we visit several oases, and also take a look at a former Star Wars movie set.
We cross the massive Chott el Jerid salt lake and arrive in Sabria, where we get an impression of nomadic lifestyles and ancient Bedouin culture. After riding camels, sipping tea at sunset, and a wonderful meal, we spend the night in style inside a tent camp. Next on the list are friendly Tamezret village, the peculiar hotel of Ksar Hadada, Ksar Ouled Soltane, and Chenini, which provides a great example of troglodyte housing.
The island of Djerba has a relaxed Mediterranean feel, with friendly villages, spectacular beaches, and interesting sights. We visit bustling markets, the murals and art of Djerbahood, pottery and ceramic workshops, and the beautiful El Ghriba Synagogue. We finish our journey in Sfax, an important commercial and industrial center, but also a city with a friendly, open attitude.

*_Wow. This video is a great exploration of the topic. The visuals are captivating, and the explanations are clear and engaging. Well done!_* 😚
I don't know who you are Stef Hoffer but you've really made a beauty. I watched it all in one go despite coming home from work sleep deprived and even more sleepy after eating a dinner of junk food. Fantastic stuff and Tunisians should thank you because many people such as myself who were unsure about visiting it will now definitely pay it a visit
Everywhere you go, people are smiling and so welcoming. That’s the best part!
A beautiful documentary, showcasing much of Tunisia in all it's glory.
Such countries in Northern Africa, are for many, mysterious, intriguing & even off the beaten path & much less known or even travelled by Western tourists, yet, there is so much to see & so much on offer!
In Tunisia's case, this country possesses such a rich & diverse historical tapestry & it shows in it's peoples & in it's beautiful architecture abound. And the natural scenery abound, is also very interesting & beautiful. There are breathtakingly beautiful regions/sights to behold.
A really lovely country & it's peoples appear so warm, friendly & welcoming.
From the culture, the history, the food & so much more, Tunisia has much to offer the visitor.
Thank you for sharing & for educating those, who are willing to be more open minded & to learn more, about the world in which they live.
Cheers & peace✌

Hi Stef, You got very soothing voice, its magical. Thanks for making such superb documentary.
Please show places on map before describing.
Greate video
Wow what a great video. Really peaks my interest in visiting Tunisia! What month did you film this?
Yes Tunisia
Background music is poison for me. But what I enjoy more are the big and small voices and conversations on the streets and in the shops.
It really brings an energy and life to the streets seen in the video.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Beautiful ❤ thank you Jesus Christ for creation!!!
i love TUNISIA >§
Nice view , do you plan to visit Alanya too?
❤❤❤
❤
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
A beautiful production Stef. Credit to you. I visited Tunisia several times touring the border regions, the coasts and especially Sidi Bou Said. My favourite place.
What’s kind of fuels ⛽️ using for cars 🚗, why the driver filtered the fuels while filling the tank?. Music similar likes Turkish. The Star Wars city looks like Pigeon dancing city in Turkey 🇹🇷 ( just visited Turkey recently). White wash city with narrow roads similar likes Greece 🇬🇷.
Dam Fasits
Krishna murari singh kisan village Barma po kaithma district Sheikhpura Bihar India vary good.
A nice documentry but I want to inform that there are only 3 holy mosques in islam.Kiroun being fourth is a local myth from Tunasia and here in indian subcontinent there are few similar fairy tales of 4th holy site in islam ,both I'm india and Pakistan. Rest your work deserves praise. You have locked whole history in a single documentary
A great documentary.
AND a day only travelling guide 😁.
I noticed that you never shoot during the night...so why ?
And you delebrately avoided the night life there.
You focused only on the cities landmarks, markets and the historical sites which is a good thing but never comment on the cost of staying or the cost of travelling there or the condition of the hotels and the quality of the food in comparison to prices .
✨✨🙌🙌🙏🙏💚🇧🇷✨✨
makle walkthrough video in sidi bou
I think that you missed a city called Qabis 😅.
Fino a cuba anno costruito Moschetta los musulmani ❤
Where Manouba....?

🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷❤❤❤❤❤💖💖💖💖💖💖😘🙏
Welcome to Goa and kochi
I like to use less background music
I love such background music & I personally think that background music is very important & adds a very interesting & lovely touch to all travel videos, otherwise it can get really boring & become quite disengaging.
Also, it adds a truly evocative feel when you hear it playing.
of course bro
