FESTIVALS
The Tunisians "joie de vivre"
is reflected in their festivals. Even the smallest village
sets aside a time for celebration whether it be for the summer harvest, fishing season, a
local saint, or the arrival of Spring.
Visitors are always welcome and urged to participate whether it be in dancing, sharing a
cup of tea or just a friendly smile. A balmy summer evening under a magnificent
starry
sky is often the setting for these occasions.
The Saharian Festival is of special interest to those who dream of the vast expanse of
dunes and sober beauty of the Sahara.
Douz; the gateway to the desert, offers an authentic and genuine picture of desert
traditions, folk art and customs. The village itself, surrounded by sand dunes, is the
departure point for the Mehares and Saharian safaris. A unique adventure awaits you.
The International Music Festival is held for long evenings in the El Jem Coliseum. An
unforgetable experience of hearing the music of renowned artists and symphonic orchestras
in the outstanding setting of the majestic Roman coliseum in a mild summer night.
