Holder of a Bachelor’s degree in English Language and Literature, I built solid experience in the tourism industry before becoming an officially certified tour guide by the Tunisian Ministry of Tourism in 2011. Over the years, I have developed extensive knowledge of Mediterranean history and culture, paired with exceptional communication skills and a genuine passion for sharing my love of history and heritage. My expertise covers cultural history, art, architecture, archaeology, culinary traditions, and photography. I am fluent in English, French, Italian, and Arabic. As a guide, I am known for my knowledge, humour, flexibility, kindness, and professionalism. I strive to provide my guests with more than a visit: an authentic and meaningful experience. I take travellers beyond the highlights to discover hidden neighbourhoods, historic streets, local restaurants, food markets, art, and music—revealing the living culture of Tunis and Tunisia as a whole. Passionate about painting, music, and architecture, I also regularly attend festivals and cultural events, which enrich my tours with fresh insights. Licensed Tour Guide – Tunisian Ministry of Tourism Bachelor of English Language and Literature Licensed guides in Tunisia enjoy full access to all historical and cultural sites without restriction.
