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.

Ahmed is a superb guide. Ahmed was immediate and professional in all communication, he was flexible in meeting our needs, and he could not have been a more welcoming and informed host in touring historic Tunis. Ahmed was equally relevant and fascinating to my two twenty-something kids and to me as an inquisitive and endlessly questioning historian. Ahmed devised a colorful walking tour through the markets, medinas, historic houses, madrassas, and tombs of the old city. We were treated to panoramic views and stories on Tunis covering modern history and everything else we had the wit to inquire about. It was clear that he was well liked and familiar with many vendors, dossents, and shopkeepers that we met along the way. Ahmed was also helpful in our ongoing planning suggesting additional spots to visit, restaurants, and things to observe and uncover during our Tunisian visit. From the first moment, Ahmed was smart, funny, warm, and professional. He led us through three hours of an introduction to the history, art, architecture, customs, and delights of Tunis. Everything Ahmed described was enhanced by his insights and storytelling talent. Ahmed was an amazing guide anyone would be lucky to be in his hands.

Highly recommend Ahmed! He communicates before the tour and arrives early so no delays. Ahmed speaks English very well and knows the history of Tunisia like a scholar. The weather was raining so he adjusted the tour so we could see the most we could around the weather. It was a great day. Ahmed is your guide!

We definitely recommend this tour. You can walk around the Medina by yourself and look into the stores in the souks. But there is so much more of interest here in the mosques and "dars" and other monuments that you would miss without a good guide like Ahmed. Knowledgeable and attentive. Great guy.

Your Tunis tour itinerary

Your journey begins at the Central Market, where colorful stalls overflow with fresh produce, spices, and the buzz of daily commerce. Continue to Souk Blat, renowned for its aromatic medicinal herbs and natural remedies—an echo of ancient healing traditions. Next, admire the refined architecture of Palace Bach Hambah, a jewel of Ottoman-era elegance, before visiting the Medressa Souleymeniya, a former theological school that reflects the city’s scholarly past. The majestic Zaytouna Mosque awaits with its graceful minaret and deep spiritual heritage, the very soul of the Medina. From the Panorama Palace, enjoy sweeping views over the maze of alleyways, then stroll through Souk El Berka, once a slave market, now a lively center for traditional jewelry. Explore Souk Chechia, home to the famous handcrafted red felt hats, before ending at La Kasba, the historic seat of government, steeped in political and cultural significance.
