Tunisia is a good choice for those seeking a
first trip to North Africa. It has enough of
all the essential ingredients - ancient cities,
long sandy beaches, camel rides, miles of
desert, etc - but at a more reasonable cost
than Egypt, and generally better standard
accommodation and facilities than Morocco.
It’s a land that mixes both familiar & exotic,
with top quality restaurants overlooking the
Mediterranean, and centuries old rock-hewn
accommodation from where you can watch
the sun rise over the Sahara.
Modern golf courses & water sports centres
abound for the energetic. Windsurfing and
diving are widely available, as are the more
traditional camel treks into the desert.
For those with a sense of history ancient
cities such as Sousse, & the capital Tunis,
have plenty to explore, with relics dating
back to pre-Roman times.
The hustle and bustle of the medina’s is a
daunting experience to begin with, and the
art of bartering is an acquired talent, but
both are to be savoured as a true feeling of
North African life.
Above all, its the warmth and friendliness of
the Tunisian people that helps maintain this
small country’s popularity above that of it’s
neighbours, and keeps visitors coming back.
