Tunisia Odyssey: Eden to Oasis Tour

If you would enjoy the efficiency of Europe, the cultural richness of the Middle East, the uniqueness of Africa, and a mix of simulating activities, the International Bicycle Fund's two-week, people-to-people, Tunisia bike programs may be right for you. First and foremost, through discussion and activities, Tunisia will help you understand that the Islamic faith and Al Qaida are NOT synonymous -- in fact, close to opposites. Tunisia is a complex mÔøΩlange of a modern infrastructure and traditional culture and values. This program provides a good look at how mainstream communities practice Islam. But far beyond that, Tunisia has layer upon layer of cultural heritage and history (as demonstrated by its World Heritage Sites from Phoenician, Roman, Arab, and Turkish periods), the people are friendly and good natured, the architecture reflect a millennium of traditions from around the Mediterranean, the markets are colorful and filled with wonderful produce, spices and goods, the crafts, decorative arts and carpets are stunning, the accommodations are comfortable and unique, the environmental and geographical diversity awes participants, the food is delicious, the April climate is delightful and the countryside is beautiful. These program is satisfying intellectually, physically, socially, and spiritually. Did we remember to say Tunisia is a wonderful venue for a bike tour?
