Painting in Tunisia

The Sahara Locations: 10-24 October 2010

Visit the south of Tunisia with spectacular landscapes and breathtaking scenery. After spending your first night in the resort of Hammamet you are transported to the Roman Amphitheatre of El Djem for some sketching and then to the Troglodyte village of Matmata for your overnight stay. After painting at Matmata you travel to Douz, gateway town to the Sahara, where you will spend 6 nights to experience the magic of the sights and sounds of the Sahara desert. The remaining 6 nights are spent in the Berber Village of Tataouine from where we have a full programme of interesting visits in the land of the Ghorfas.

This two week painting holiday to Southern Tunisia takes you to unspoilt places and away from mass tourism.
