There are no shortage of temples and ruins to visit in Malta, and there's plenty of World Heritage sites in Tunisia. Some of the highlights of Tunisia are Kairouan, Medina of Sousse, and Dougga/Thugga. There are plenty of excellent Tunisia hotels to choose from; click here for accommodation options.
There's lots to do in Tunisia, such as a trip to the well-known site of Carthage. Carthage was founded in 814 BC, and was a major trading hub for the Mediterranean. The Romans destroyed the original Carthage in 146 BC, and established their own civilisation directly over the remains of the old one. The Amphitheatre of El Jem is another must-see; the beautiful ruins of the 3rd century amphitheatre superbly highlight the power and reach of Imperial Rome.
Another World Heritage Site is Ichkeul National Park, which includes Lake Ichkeul and Jebel Ichkeul mountains. Many birds migrate over here from Europe during the colder months, including geese, storks, and flamingos. You could even spot a mongoose or porcupine on one of the park's many and excellent nature trails.
The remains of Punic Town of Kerkouane and its Necropolis are interesting as they are the only remains in this city, and unveil some surprisingly advanced ideas on town planning. There are many all inclusive hotels in the area, a good option after a busy day; try Hotels4U for examples.
If you're into religion, Tas Silq will be an interesting trip for you. Its last known function was as an Arab mosque back in the 9th century. Before being used as a place of worship for the goddess of fertility, it was a temple for goddesses in the megalithic phase. It was also used by the Romans as a place of worship for the goddess of Juno, and before this it was used as a shrine of Astarte-Tanit by the neo-Punic natives. Consider booking one of these sites from the Malta hotels nearby; click for more information.
