TUNISIA
- Adventure motorbiking at its very best. 
A country of amazing contrasts with magnificent coastlines, beaches, mountains,
forests, and the Sahara; the world's greatest desert.
Ride
with us on this incredible motorbike journey through Tunisia with its mountain
ranges, gorges, and true desert landscapes. We
visit some of the finest of the world's surviving Roman Sites (such as the great
El Jem Coliseum) and medieval Islamic cities all with their own special atmosphere
and magic. 
Enroute
we visit Berber heartlands with their hill oasis villages and fortified granaries.
We explore an enchanting
oasis town at the fringe of the Northern Sahara which is one of the most extensive
ancient caravan routes still in use. We
continue north along the edge of the desert near Algeria to the mountains of central
Tunisia. Enroute we visit Troglodyte villages amidst weird lunar landscapes. Our
ride in the mountains takes us through small Berber villages with their lush palmeries
and an abundance of fresh fruit. There
is ample time to relax and explore the many ancient Roman sites during the tour. 
BIKING PROFILE:
Riding
is entirely on sufaced roads.
A route designed by John Fulton
from experience gained over 20 years leading adventure tours in Europe, Asia,
Middle East, and Morocco.
Our route takes in Tunisia's many moods and
landscapes, the coast, mountains, and the world's greatest desert - the Sahara.
The Berber people are friendly and drivers are courteous. Roads are quiet, surfaced
and generally in good condition. Driving conditions in Tunisia are exciting and
challenging due to the varied terrain, dry atmospheric conditions and strong sunlight.
We
schedule optional rest days along the Mediterranean Coast to relax on the beach
and or explore. 
Distances
vary from 100 miles to 250 miles. A
typical day's riding starts at 8am and we reach our destination around 4pm.
