Introduction
Tunisia is a sun worshippers dream, with sparkling white sand
beaches, turquoise waters, and plenty of comfortable resorts next to the
sea. However, outside the resort the vast Sahara desert, fascinating
historical towns, and unique natural sights are waiting for intrepid
travellers on Tunisia holidays. Tunisia is just a 2 to 3 hour flight
from London, and there is no time difference except during daylight
savings time when Tunisia is one hour behind the UK. The currency in
Tunisia is the Tunisian dinar.
Regions
Tunisia is a great destination for Europeans looking for affordable package deals. The coastal regions in the north and the east of the country are especially popular with people of all ages. Visitors can stay on the island of Djerba and rent a bicycle to tour the quiet roads that make their way past beaches, colourful markets, and peaceful meadows. Sousse and Monastri are also popular with tourists for their stunning beaches, laid-back atmospheres, and historic architecture.
Travellers who want to get off the beaten path can head outside of
the resort towns to see incredible natural beauty. Matmata is an
interesting town in the south of Tunisia with homes and hotels carved
out of the rocks and in caves. El Kef is a small mountainside town with
many ancient fortresses and authentic North African culture. The large
mesa of Jugurtha’s Table is a short drive away from Ell Kef, and it
makes for an interesting day trip for its bizarre rock formations. Douz
is a great jumping off point for desert treks in the Sahara. Visitors
can arrange camel rides, motorbike tours, or 4×4 trips from here.
Weather
Tunisia is generally very sunny and warm. Summers can be quite dry
and hot, and winters are mild and wet. January and December are the
wettest months. The south of Tunisia marks the beginning of the Saharan
Desert, so it is very hot and arid. Average temperature in the north
range between 32 degrees in the summer and 7 degrees in the winter.
