Tunisia Holidays

With its ancient cities, forgotten villages, mosques and hammams, Tunisia dishes up an XXL side order of history with all of its holidays. When you’re not starfishing on its crumble-coloured beaches, you could be discovering the secrets of Sousse, a Medieval town with a treasure-packed medina, or Kairouan – North Africa’s holiest city.

Golden beaches in all shapes and sizes daisy chain along the coast, adding up to a whopping 1,200kilometres of good-looking shoreline. The best beaches can be found in Hammamet, which also counts top-notch fish restaurants and three golf courses among its finest features. Other ace stretches of sand include Boujaffar Beach in Sousse, and Monastir City Beach.

Tunisia’s major landmarks don’t end with historical buildings. Desert safari adventures are sorted, thanks to the fact the vast Sahara Desert’s on the doorstep. Bag yourself a seat in a 4x4 and you can see the sand dunes and traditional Bedouin camps for yourself. Star Wars fans, meanwhile, can get their kicks at Matmata, a village on the edge of the Sahara where the opening scenes of the first movie were filmed.
