Siliana
Quiet rural highland — Dougga, Mustis and the Kesra Berber village.
Siliana is one of Tunisia's least-visited governorates and one of its most rewarding for slow travellers — wide open landscapes, traditional villages, almost no other tourists.
Dougga, the best-preserved Roman city in North Africa, sits on Siliana's northern edge: a full hilltop town with capitol, theatre, baths, mausoleum and forum, all walkable.
Higher up, the Berber village of Kesra is built into the cliff face at 1,100 m, with stone houses, narrow stairs and panoramic views over the Tell.
