Margaret Auld says, "This was a brilliant holiday (September 2006).

Thought you might like the attached photo - it is meant to encourage people to sign up on the trip, not put them off!"

This photo was taken on the Ancient Carthage and Camel Safari Tour.

Few visitors venture beyond Tunisia's Mediterranean beaches, but we find this ancient part of the African Maghreb fascinating for its natural beauty and historical diversity.

Ulysses discovered it first. Now it's our turn.

We first visit Carthage, situated just outside Tunis, then head for Kairouan - Tunisia's holiest city, its Great Mosque, domes and minarets visible from afar.

The town's Medina overflows with carpets and craftwork.

We'll also see the crenellated walls of Sfax and visit the huge Colosseum at El Djem.
