Tunisia is North Africa made easy. This relaxed Arab country offers much more than instant sunshine. The Romans made it their second home, leaving colossal ruins that are a wonder to explore, while Tunis, the capital, has an atmospheric medina that is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The huge city ruins of Dougga and the monumental amphitheatre of El Jem are among the many archaeological sites in Tunisia.Oasis towns like Douz, Tozeur and Nefta on the fringes of the Sahara are full of atmosphere with their camels, hot springs and plantations of date palms. Holidays in Tunisia are big business and the quality of Tunisia’s resorts has been steadily rising. Some, like Port El Kantaoui and Yasmine Hammamet, have been purpose-built while others are integrated with historic towns. With welcoming people, miles of sandy beaches and warm Mediterranean waters, Tunisia is a deservedly popular holiday choice whether you want to laze by the pool or have a stimulating adventure.
