For those who seek the efficiency of Europe, the cultural richness of the Middle East and the uniqueness of Africa, and want a mix of simulating activities, the International Bicycle Fund is sponsoring two special two-week, people-to-people, bicycle/train programs in Tunisia. Each itinerary is unique -- do them individually or combined. The rich cultural heritage, complex history, and the geographical and environmental diversity of the country awe participants on this program. Tunisia is a stable and pleasant mélange of a modern economy and infrastructure and traditional culture and values. Every day in this captivating country offers new insights and experiences. Program participants will have opportunities to meet rural villagers, skilled craftsmen, educators and officials; to learn about the day-to-day life and the changing role of women; to shop in local markets; and to wander in Phoenician, Roman and Byzantine archeological sites dating back to the 2nd century BC. Everywhere we enjoy the extraordinary friendliness of the people and inspirational beauty of the land. Charming, enchanting, delightful, irresistible, attractive, and fascinating are some on the words that are frequently used to describe Tunisia. Rural Tunisia is a virtually undiscovered treasure for Westerners. Give it a look!
