Redefining Luxury Travel in Tunisia and Beyond

In the world of luxury travel, it takes vision, passion, and a deep understanding of culture to create experiences that transcend the ordinary. Sabri Oueslati, founder and CEO of Dar To Dar, embodies all these qualities and more. A Belgian-Tunisian entrepreneur with an unshakable connection to his roots, Sabri has reimagined Tunisia’s travel landscape, positioning it as a high-end destination for those seeking bespoke, cultural, and luxurious experiences.

From Brussels to Tunisia: A Visionary Journey

Born and raised in Brussels, Sabri always maintained a deep bond with Tunisia, the country of his ancestry. His entrepreneurial journey in Tunisia began in 2009 with the creation of Dar Sabri, a luxurious guest house nestled in the heart of Nabeul’s Medina. Combining traditional oriental elegance with contemporary design, Dar Sabri was Sabri’s first step toward showcasing Tunisia’s untapped potential for high-end tourism.

However, it was Tunisia’s Revolution in 2011 that marked a turning point for Sabri. Motivated by the socio-political changes and inspired by the resilience of the Tunisian people, he relocated to Tunisia full-time, determined to be part of the country’s historic transformation. During this time, Sabri noticed a significant gap in the local travel industry: the absence of a travel agency offering tailor-made, luxury travel experiences with a fresh perspective on Tunisia’s rich cultural and historical heritage.

This realization led to the birth of Dar To Dar, a bespoke Destination Management Company (DMC) specializing in high-end, tailor-made journeys that go beyond the conventional.

The Dar To Dar Philosophy: More Than Travel

For Sabri, Dar To Dar is not just about organizing trips; it’s about curating unforgettable experiences. What sets the agency apart is its unparalleled focus on personalization and its commitment to showcasing the hidden gems of Tunisia. “Tunisia is still misunderstood,” Sabri explains. “People don’t realize the sophistication of its way of life, the luxury of its accommodations, the professionalism of its spas, or the richness of its cultural heritage. Dar To Dar is about revealing all of this to the world through an exclusive and bespoke approach.”

The agency’s philosophy revolves around deep local expertise and an exceptional network of guides and storytellers. Travelers might explore the Medina of Tunis with a celebrated historian, or experience Djerba through the eyes of a painter. Every journey is meticulously tailored to reflect the client’s interests, whether it’s architecture, gastronomy, archaeology, or simply a desire to escape and recharge.

A Cultural Advocate and Innovator

Beyond his role as a travel entrepreneur, Sabri is deeply committed to promoting Tunisia’s cultural and tourism industries. As the president of the Edhiafa association, which supports Tunisia’s guest houses, and a founding member of Dar Tunisia, a network of the country’s most exquisite accommodations, Sabri works tirelessly to elevate Tunisia’s profile as a world-class destination.

His passion for cultural preservation and innovation is also evident in his advocacy for Tunisian craftsmanship. From the contemporary designs of Rock The Kasbah to the artisanal work of Sadika Keskes, Sabri champions the artisans and designers redefining Tunisia’s creative identity. “Tunisia has undergone a renaissance in craftsmanship,” he says. “It’s about taking traditional textures and materials and making them relevant for today.”

Sabri’s Favorite Destinations and Inspirations

Sabri’s love for Tunisia is reflected in his personal favorites. He speaks fondly of Erriadh, a small town on the island of Djerba known for its harmonious coexistence of Jewish, Muslim, and Christian communities. He also highlights Nefta, a town in south-west Tunisia with a mesmerizing palm grove that transports him to another era every time he visits.

When it comes to food, Sabri’s recommendations span the diverse spectrum of Tunisia’s culinary scene—from the seafood delights of Barberousse in Hammamet to the refined traditional dishes at Fondouk El Attarine in Tunis. He also celebrates Tunisia’s growing wine culture, particularly the Kurubis estate, and its unique regional products like Ksar’s orange-blossom honey and fig jam.

A Vision for the Future

Sabri’s ambition for Dar To Dar extends beyond Tunisia. With plans to expand operations into Algeria and Libya, Sabri envisions a network of bespoke travel experiences across North Africa. By connecting travelers with the region’s breathtaking landscapes, rich histories, and vibrant cultures, Dar To Dar aims to redefine how the world experiences this part of the globe.

Conclusion: The Man Behind the Vision

Sabri Oueslati is more than the founder of Dar To Dar—he is a cultural ambassador, a creative innovator, and a passionate advocate for Tunisia’s potential as a luxury travel destination. His vision, rooted in authenticity and excellence, has brought Tunisia’s hidden gems to the forefront of high-end tourism. For Sabri, travel is not just about visiting places; it’s about creating meaningful connections with people, history, and culture.

Through Dar To Dar, Sabri invites the world to discover a side of Tunisia that few have seen, crafting journeys that are as unique and extraordinary as the man behind them.
