Tunisia Is the One! 🇹🇳

- Today we're in El Kef, a little hilltop city up in Northwest Tunisia.
We kicked things off in Kef medina where we met some lovely people and explored some of the many ancient roman ruins of Tunisia.
Next we set off to climb the El Kef city walls but on the way ran into a lovely family who offered to cook us the famous dish of the region, we agreed to come back 3 hours later then off we went.
Finally we made it up the city walls and had an incredible view over the whole city and surrounding landscapes, on the way down we stopped at a little tea shop and had a good old Tunisian boga with the lads!
Now it was time to head back to our new friends restaurant to try the traditional Tunisian borzguene, a couscous dish cooked with lamb and loaded with nuts and dates, this thing was bloody delicious. After we ate our friends made us some arabic coffee with rose water then we had a little dance in the old streets.
We ended the day with a little 1 star hotel tour, this place was genuinely fantastic.

The people of Tunisia are hospitable, beautiful, and love to have fun
Definitely!!

Big Love from Tunisia my Sisters and Brothers ❤
@@KAMATCHO0001 HAHA!! I love it :D
You definitely know all The Aussie things!
As a Tunisian these videos are actually so adorable and amazing to see new places that i've never been to
I really appreciate that! Hope you enjoy the rest!!
حتى انا تعرفت على هاذا من خلاله
I'm tunisian and thanks to you guys for letting me discover new place like el KEF and it really does look nice authentic city with the old civilisation touch ❤
@@mimikwaja9649 thanks for the support ❤️
@@EllisWR you are welcome 😊 . If u still in tunisia I advise you to go to SOUSSE MONASTIR AND MAHDIA ALSO "EL JAM " THERE is amphitheatre these cities have stunning view to sea and also very relaxing
Welcome to Tunisia guys and especially my hometown El Kef. We're thrilled to have you , and I hope you find your time here amazing and memorable. I'm sure you'll have a fantastic experience and get a great impression of our city and its people and its delicious food. Enjoy your stay! 🌟
We bloody love your hometown, and Tunisia! thanks so much
Another beautiful video about Tunisia and as for the ruins, they are Carthaginian because the construction method and the baths are known to be Carthaginian and are found in almost all Tunisian cities, even the symbols on the ruins are Carthaginian and maybe after the fall of Carthage it became affiliated with Rome but it remains Carthaginian. In fact, there are no radiocarbon studies of the ruins and historical sites in Tunisia and everything is automatically attributed to Rome without verification. Even if there is a Roman inscription, this does not mean that the city was founded during the Roman era, but rather it was founded during the Carthaginian era and the inscription was added later after the fall of Carthage. History mentions that Rome founded one city in Tunisia and it is in the middle of Tunisia, while the rest of the cities existed before and their inhabitants continued to live in them. This jar is used to store and cool water, or to store oil or anything else. It is Carthaginian. You can go to the Bardo Museum and see for yourself because there are many like it in the museums of Tunisia. I even have one that is much bigger than it that I inherited from my ancestors.. As for coffee, it is Tunisian. Only Tunisians put rose water or orange blossom water in their coffee.
Thanks so much for all the information we appreciate it!!
I confirm
Been to Tunisia!Great place with fabulous food!
It's great isn't it! Glad you also enjoyed the visit! 🇹🇳
@EllisWR 50 DT is equal to 16$ ONLY how u say it's expencive dish 😅😅😅 for SOME tunisian locals yes it's expencive because their salary is very low. .. but 16 $ is even cheaper than a 1 normal pizza in USA 🇺🇸 I appreciate that these guys charged you fair and reasonable prices . They are honest people ..enjoy the tasty food . I'm watching from DUBAI I tasted lots of different food here but still tunisian food is the best.
Tunisia seems like a hidden gem of north Africa. From beaches to deserts. Even filmed Star Wars there.
It's a top country
u have no idea about mountains and forests bro🤩
i'm tunisian and i never been in EL KEF , i really enjoyed the vlog , thanks you so much for this great video . i always loved my country because of the people they are really nice and welcoming to anyone everywhere in the world
Thanks so much! Tunisia is definitely an amazing place
Thank you so much for showing us Tunisia better than Tunisians themselves see it. You guys are really awesome, you respect our differences and traditions, and you are honest and spontaneous. Wish u the best luck !
Really appreciate the kind words thanks so much 🇹🇳🙏
When I watch your videos about my country.. I feel very proud that I am Tunisian ❤️ keep going n have fun.. we love u 🫶
You should be proud 🇹🇳🙏
'Ere, what a lovely woman, she wa', the one that cooked ya that big dish, bless her! Proper good energy 🫶
She is a superstar!!
@@EllisWR 🎶 "El Kef superstaaarrr, that is what you aaarrre, we come 'ere from afaaarrr, your borzguene wa' five-staaarrr" 🎶..... 🌝🤧😂
El kef is amazing, thank you for the video.
Thanks for watching
Thank you for showing the real Tunisia and real Tunisians
Thanks for supporting us 🙏🇹🇳
It feels so nice rediscovering my country through your eyes ❤ Sometimes we get so caught up in our busy lives that we forget to take a moment and enjoy the simple, beautiful things all around us. Thank you so much for your efforts!
Yes I agree! Your country is beautiful 🇹🇳 Thanks for supporting us
its sad to read this
Hey man I’m from Birmingham but I miss my mum country Tunisia 🇹🇳
We love your country! Have a great weekend!
@@EllisWR thank you mate
I hope next time you can find someone speak English not bloody French
@@Magayvere2410 Ahaha everyone speaks french! Its alright people are well nice here
@@EllisWR I’m gonna back home in September to my home in souse so I can wait bc uk it’s cold all the time mate
How about you start learning to speak English before being a bigot online! You have the grammar of a twelve year old@@Magayvere2410
thank you so much for sharing these forgotten artefacts with the world , our tunisia is truly underrated
I agree Tunisia deserves more love
Un pays ouvert au monde .
Il merite mieux
My beautiful home town El Kef
Miss it so much ❤
Thank you for sharing your experience 🙏
Thanks for supporting us ❤️
What lovely people. Shakira and her lovely Borzguene, which looked delicious, certainly made my mouth water just watching. Another great day in Tunisia. Safe travels x
They were so nice and looked after us. Was honestly incredible food as well! Thanks so much
Now i get how you both want to get under the skin of a country rather than stick to the tourist traps! I hired a grand taxi with my mum and friends and visited the hill villages above Sousse .Saw hidden mosaics covered in sand of some long gone silted up port .Visited farms etc .Happy days-love the authenticity of people away from the touristy places.
Sounds incredible, yeah that's what it's all about! Meet lovely people doing that!
I am tunisian and i lived in tunisia for more than thirty years and i never tried Borzdguen 😢 you are lucky guys enjoy your trip our country is very amazing and friendly prople ❤
It's soooooo delicious honestly! 🙏🇹🇳
never heared of it before
You could Come to lekef and taste it realy it's very delicious
@@user-qy8jj6yj7h 50dt is bit expensive but i will try it inshallah
If you still in Tunisia, Zaghouan is a good choice too, beautiful combination of countryside and history, famous for the water temple and andalousian heritage
I've saved this city! Next time we will go!!
Defintely you won't regret it i'm pretty sure with zaghouan famous Mountain. and also historic places like famous Yoghurta table near el Kef and Dougga and bullaregia near Jandouaba.
C'est beau El kef le couscous borzeguen est la spécialité de la région, une belle ville historique ancienne et pleine de surprise, ❤
Such a beautiful place!!
❤❤ Tabarka is waiting for you mate enjoy 🇹🇳🇹🇳cant wait the new vedio ✌🏻✌🏻
Stay tuned 🙏🇹🇳❤️
El kef one of the best city in tunisia ...❤❤
I agree!!!
oh yeah Kef city very old city , a place to visit for sure ! Borzguen is the best coucous ever ! very original salty- sweet ! so underrated so unknown !
It's so bloody tasty
My parents grew up in Kef and my mom kept telling me about the places you guys visited and how she used to run around those ruins. As a tourism majored student you helped me a lot with this video as I discovered new places I myself never seen before. Have a nice visit and stay safe ❤
It's a beautiful place full of super nice people. Thanks so much ❤️🙏
4:57 sweet people ❤❤
believe me under the right leadership tunisia could be the number one destination for people who're looking for history and food and even beachs and deserts even mountains tho for hiking and biking
It's incredible 🇹🇳 one of the greatest countries ever ahah
@@EllisWR you're guys having so much fun there we can feel it during the vlog
We're honestly loving it!
@@EllisWR I am living in Turkey and I learning my country thru people like you....soon re-settling in Tunisia with my Turkish wife and we will turn it inch by inch especially the west and the North west
انا تونسي. ونحب نقلك يعطيك الصحة bro ❤
🇹🇳🙏
Thanks for shining a light on the heart of my country. I trust you had a truly authentic experience.
We bloody love Tunisia 🇹🇳🙏
RUclips recommendations are just working super well these days, you guys are such kind hearted people and there's something so special about seeing Tunisia from other's perspective.
If you're willing to visit Djerba I'd be more than happy to show you around
Thanks so much we appreciate you 🙏 next trip we will visit we've saved so many places! 🇹🇳
I'm from el Kef and I'm proud of my city ❤🎉 I love el Kef 🎉❤
Beautiful city
Best couple that came to Tunisia. I've been watching every video out there talking about Tunisia, and they all present just a little bit of how beautiful and diversified our country is. But you guys are doing it well.
Ps: Can't wait to have you in sousse.❤❤
Thanks so much we really appreciate you 🙏🇹🇳 we actually visited Sousse but the tourist areas are not for us! We met too many scammy people and it just wasn't fun for us. Tunisia is beautiful though.
I'm totally agree with you @@EllisWR
Well thank you for the kind reply. And I have to admit how unfortunate to hear that, but if you give it another chance I would love to guide you to the beautiful hidden parts of sousse.
Otherwise seeing my country through foreigners eyes is a blessing and You're always welcome here ❤
@@talbiachref1999 I bet the outskirts of the city people are nice! We just really struggled to meet honest people who respected us! I appreciate you 🇹🇳🙏
Lots of Love from Tunisia to Ellis and Alisha. You guys are "Top People". Hands down. Thank you for showcasing the good things about my country
We appreciate you and love your country 🇹🇳❤️

Hi lads. Wish you both well.. Love this episode. ❤❤👍👍👍👍. One thing I love about Tunisia, every single home and building come with grand front door.
Yeah the doors are amazing aren't they?!
@@EllisWR absolutely gorgeous. Especially in vivid dominant colours and decorated with unique arts. 👍👍👍👍👍
40:22 now it’s a tradition for you guys to dance in most countries you visit 😅❤
Ahahah the classic
Welcome to Tunisia. I hope to visit other places. I am wonderful and creative ❤❤
We love Tunisia 🇹🇳
Awesome video...really liked the roman historic ruins/mosaics/city wall view...wish we could see more of the ruins! Leish dances great btw!👍
Irs such a. Cool place ruins everywhere!!! Thanks Jane, hope everything is great!
I like the gesture of not returning the plate empty ..we do that also in tunisia
That's why we did it we learnt about it from our tunisian friends here!
Wow bro you really know where to go im Tunisian and i didn't know that el kef loook like this 😮😮😮thank you
We love Tunisia!!
@@EllisWR we love you too
you are two nice people , i wish to you the best
Thanks so much same to you!!
I didn't know you are here in my town, I would show you more good places as well.
I am happy that you had a good time here ♥
We loved it!!
it was such an amazing vlog , my lovely kef the city where i born and grew-up , i recommend you to visit the Jugurtha's Table
Next time!!!
I always like your vids your the best tour guy ever i wanted to meet you in iraqi kurdstan sulaimani but thank you❤❤
Maybe next time 🙏❤️
i just love it when he say beslama xD its means goodbye. aslema means hello or salam
I say aslema for hello and beslema for goodbye!!
My gooooood thats my city thank you for visiting us ❤❤❤❤❤
🇹🇳🙏❤️
So authentic trip in the hidden gems of Tunisia and eating local food as well. Bravo and hope you enjoyed or still enjoying if you still there the country ❤
I recommend you Bizerte as well, as it's the northernmost city of Tunisia and Africa and it's not that touristic but it has the best beaches in the country especially now in this summer season it should be a good destination. After goin to Tabarka as it's closer to El Kef and a beautiful coastal city as well you can go from Tabarka to Bizerte if you want and you still there.
Enjoy!
Thanks so much! We really wanted to visit Bizerte also but couldn't find a hotel in our max budget of like 80 dinar!! :(next time 🇹🇳🙏
What I like about you is that you are well informed before visting, you know exactely what yo visit and what to eat. Besides el kef is a very good choice 😊
We're genuinely interested in the places we visit! We don't make videos for views or money just do what we enjoy 🙏🇹🇳
👌100
@@EllisWR that's interesting we saw a lot of youtubers going to the same places without knowing a clue about tunisian history, we regular tunisians apart from touristic business are very sensitive to this. Keep going
Merci pour les belles images de la tunisie
Thanks for the support 🇹🇳❤️
Now I can say you are one of us...if you don't feel you are one of us you haven't visited Tunisia even if you did...
We love it here 🇹🇳🙏
discovering my own country in these type of videos
your support means a lot to us thankyou!!
Welcome to Tunisia guys and enjoy your stay!
Thanks so much!!
We love you too! I wish you all the best in Tabarka.
A small note: the way she made couscous is pretty unique to some regions, it's not the average national couscous dish but it's great! Glad you had fun buddy
We read about it before so we were over the moon we met Shakira and her lovely family!! Thanks so much for watching 🙏🇹🇳
The family was very generous with you guys, maybe they deserved a tip!
I'm not tipping people we became friends with that's extremely rude. Money isn't the reason we do things for others.
Despite getting rejected by someone i love for 3+ months and also being thrown away as friend after giving them a physical letter with my feelings and before that even having given various handmade presents to show i appreciate them as my friend, your videos affirm my love for the world around me and its beautiful nature, it helps me remind me who i truly am
So never stop doing what youre doing, keep showing people the true beauty of this world away from all the bad reputations of each country!
Hope you feel alright ❤️ we really appreciate you, you are a great person 🙏
@@EllisWR thank you very much! I feel slightly better since it happened 🍀
Welcome to Tunisia 🇹🇳❤
Thanks so much 🇹🇳🙏
Waheyyy, you're back! I wa' a tad worried, thought you lot wa' ill or summat..... Hopefully you're both just making the most of ya time out there, innit! 🥳
We're having a little relax before going full steam ahead again soon!!
@@EllisWR Ahhh, I hear ya, don't blame ya one bit, ya need a good recharge 'n what have ya, every now 'n again! 👌..... But, yeah, it says a lot about Tunisia, does that, as in like, it's worthy of being a place to unwind/relax/chill etc, as well as havin' fun/enjoyin' yourselves 🥳
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ love
Welcome 💗💗
Thanks so much!!
I'm Tunisian, i've never eaten Bourzgene before 😅
It's amazing you should try!!
You should come to zaghouan to see the roman water temple in our beautiful mountain and try some food it is worth it
I've saved this city! What food?
Well in all tunisia we share the same food but in every city it not taste the same but in our city we are known with kaak warka and its sweet food you can give it a try
That nice 🎉
Thanks ❤️🙏
Nice video
Cheers!!
Tunisian people you have such a wonderful country😍 Take care of it !
Definitely a beautiful place!
Good job man ! I like how , unlike other youtubers, you visited a completely new place. Well I see so much ruins and history over there.
I wonder why this is not a touristic place in Tunisia🤔I heard some bad rumours about Tunisia from some people here and it turns out they visited a touristic city (can't remember its name) where they got scammed. I know this can happen in any other part of the world.
I am sure they will change their mind about the country after watching this video. the people are so friendly and true here !! It's worth a visit 🤩
We like to visit normal places! Tunisia is an incredible country, we also visited Sousse which was extremely touristy and full of scammers we hated that place!
شكرا على الفيديو
Thanks for the support
Welcome to le kef the most beautiful city in Tunisia
We do like it here!!🇹🇳

"I want to thank you for visiting my country, and I want to tell you to keep doing what you are doing. I am very happy that you visited my country."
And also you need to visit ( sidi bou said and bizert
"Tunisia is a beautiful and diverse country, rich in history and culture. It boasts stunning Mediterranean
beaches, vibrant cities, and ancient ruins like those in Carthage. The warm hospitality of its people and the delicious cuisine make it a truly special place. From the bustling markets of Tunis to the serene landscapes of the Sahara Desert, Tunisia offers a unique and unforgettable experience."
Thanks so much for having us ❤️🇹🇳
The bourzgan ❤ it's the special dish of that region 😊
It's sooooo good
@@EllisWR sahha 😊
The people over there seem adorable and friendly I love ❤️ that
They are super nice
As a local from El Kef I really appreciate you doing this video, it is not a touristic destination and also not well taken care of but it is a hidden gem, I wouldve suggested visiting it in the winter tho, and there are a lot more places worth visiting inside and outside of the city here. Also if you try any other type of couscous dish you'll find that it is so different usually being spicy unlike Bourzgen. with that being said I hope you enjoyed your stay and the hospitality of our people ! You are always welcome here
We loved El Kef thanks so much for having us. We will come back many places to visit
this is the first time I've heard of a tunisian putting rose water in coffee ! we usually put orange blossom water! i'm definetly going to try borzgen and rose water in my coffee soon :D
Maybe it was orange blossom?! But I'm sure it was rose
