Located on the northernmost tip of Africa, Tunisia is a popular holiday destination. Since the country is located on a mountainous region and comprises the Sahara desert, a holiday in Tunisia naturally entails mountaineering, rock-climbing and desert adventures.
A holiday to Tunisia usually begins at either of the country’s two main airports; Monastir, which serves as the main tourist airport and Tunis which caters to commercial and international flights.
Monastir airport is located in the central eastern part of Tunisia on the Mediterranean coast, while the Tunis airport is located about 7 kilometres to the north-east of Tunis the capital of Tunisia.
While on holiday in Tunisia, you’ll have many choices in terms of accommodation and interesting activities to choose from. A trek through the great Atlas Mountains on northern Tunisia will allow you to appreciate many rivers, lakes, gorges and waterfalls that await to be explored.
A holiday in Tunisia would not be complete without a tour to El Diem – the historical site featuring a Roman Colosseum. In addition, a trip to Ksour in southern Tunisia will give you a chance to visit the hilltop granaries made from mud, and a dip in one of the Hammans or Turkish baths will bring you in close contact with the locals.
During your Tunisia holidays, you can find accommodation in the country’s many resorts, the popular ones being the Hammamet (for lovers of ancient culture), Yasmine Hammamet (for the wealthy and fashionable), Sousse (for enjoying the hustle and bustle of shops, bars and restaurants) and the Skanes and Monastir resorts for budget accommodation near the airport.
With a cocktail of sand, sun and an incredibly rich history to learn about, Tunisia is a perfect holiday destination in the northern Africa. A holiday in Tunisia guarantees you a new appreciation of the vast African continent.
