Resorts And Beaches
Resorts such as Hammamet, Sousse, Monastir and Djerba are main seaside resorts for package holidays. Long sandy beaches go along much of the coast and many hotels are close to the sea. Holidaymakers can book cheap or upmarket hotels and many hotels are all inclusive. Daytime is for the pool, watersports on the sea and fun for kids and families. Nightlife, cafes, clubs and restaurants in the main resort take over after daytime.
History And Heritage
A Tunisia holiday can also include time in towns and cities with rich history and heritage. Tunis has shops and street life with African and Mediterranean influences. Close to Tunis, Carthage has archaeological ruins from Roman times and many history travellers visit. Kairouan has mosques and Islamic history and many visitors come here each year. Tunis, Carthage and Kairouan have ancient and modern life side by side in Tunisia.
Sahara Desert and Adventure
In the south of Tunisia, the Sahara Desert is a dramatic change from the coast. Resorts and towns such as Douz are places for desert treks and 4×4 journeys over sand dunes. Holidaymakers can take trips by 4×4 or camel and have time at an oasis. The desert is unforgiving and summer temperatures can be very high by day. For many travellers, this part of a Tunisia holiday is a remarkable escape from life at home.
Food And Nightlife
Tunisian food has Mediterranean and Arabic influences and many visitors like local meals. Lamb, merguez sausages, seafood and salad are common in a hotel buffet or restaurant. In the main resorts, cafes and restaurants serve snacks and drinks through the day for holidaymakers. Nightlife in the resort is hotel entertainment, beach clubs and cafes. Sunny weather, friendly staff and local food help to keep Tunisia popular with holidaymakers.
