Tunisia is full of surprises, delights and the most amazing contrasts.
One moment you could be relaxing on the warm golden sands of a Mediterranean beach, the next you could be camel trekking in the Sahara.
From luxurious thalassotherapy sessions to some of the world’s finest surviving Roman ruins, there’s so much more to Tunisia.

From Tunisia's list of attractions you would expect a country many times its size. It offers superb beaches, spectacular desert scenery and a wealth of historical sites dating back nearly 3,000 years to when the ancient city of Carthage dominated the entire western Mediterranean.
The combination of Islamic culture and European approach makes Tunisia a very popular North African holiday destination. With a climate that rarely dips under 20 degrees, it's a real hot spot all year round.
Beaches
Where a turquoise sea meets an azure sky
From the delightfully secluded beaches of the ruggedly picturesque northern coast, like Raf Raf and Sidi Ali El Mekki, to stunning palm-fringed sands that slope gently into the warm waters of the Mediterranean around the idyllic Isle of Djerba, Tunisia’s beaches are some of the most beautiful in the Mediterranean.
Perfectly safe and perfectly suited for a variety of exciting water sports, or simply stretching out and soaking up the splendid year-round sun.
The Sahara isn't all shifting sands and endless dunes. Feel the exhilaration of sand-yachting, 4x4 adventures, camel treks or horse riding. Climb aboard the Red Lizard train passing through the canyons and over brooks before watching the seductive sunset in the mystifying backdrop.
If you love to haggle, you'll adore the souks. The medinas or old towns, which are home to the souks, are real living places where craftsmen can still be found practising their trade on the streets, and where each street represents a different craft. The nobler trades, such as jewelers, silk merchants, perfumers and booksellers are normally located centrally around the mosque, and the practical trades, such as pottery, can be found towards the outskirts of the town. The best way to shop in this entertaining maze is to wander aimlessly and stumble across whatever takes your fancy.
A land of surprising contrasts, Tunisia’s regions and cities vary as wildly in their landscape as their culture.
To explore magical forests, enchanting mountains and fertile plains, visit the north and northwest; to marvel at the historic Roman and Arabic remains, travel to the center of the country; to give in to the seductive charms of some of the Mediterranean’s most beautiful beaches, head for the east coast and Djerba, the Sahel and Cap Bon peninsula; and for exhilarating adventures in the Sahara, make your way to the south.
Tunisia has a variety of hotels ranging from Dars and boutique hotel properties, to five star hotels, nearly 40 of which offer Thalassotherapy centres.
With a choice ranging from top quality European-style restaurants to street-side stalls offering traditional Tunisian cuisine, the food in Tunisia is excellent. And there is a good number of ‘3 Fourchette’ (five star quality) restaurants in and around each resort and region.
There can be more to a Tunisian holiday than simply a beach vacation – you and your family can look forward to exciting activities such as jet skiing or cycling, nature lovers will enjoy the range of National Parks on offer, while thrill-seekers will find adventure at the water and theme parks.
And if that is not enough, there’s always Tunisia’s family friendly and popular beach destinations such as Tabarka, Raf Raf, Djerba and Hammamet to unwind in.
Once the heartland of Roman Africa, it’s no surprise that Tunisia is home to some of the world’s finest Roman sites and ruins.
Today, evidence of Tunisia’s rich heritage can be seen in the fascinating sites of Phoenician and Roman Carthage, the ruins of the Punic town of Kerkouane and the medinas of Tunis and Sousse, both UNESCO World Heritage Sites and home of magnificent Islamic architecture.
