Sitting on Africa’s north-eastern coast, Tunisia has long been a tourist trap thanks to its balmy Mediterranean climate, white-washed buildings cascading down to tropical sands, and sparkling azure waters. It’s a prime destination for people wanting a ‘sunbathing and swimming in the sea’ sort of holiday, but Tunisia has much more to offer…
Cultural gems include the UNESCO World Heritage-protected Medina – a sprawling labyrinth of ancient streets and alleyways where you’ll find souks selling everything from colourful spices to shisha pipes. Or take a trip to the Bardo Museum, which has one of the biggest Roman mosaic collections in the world. To experience true relaxation, visit an authentic hammam (also known as a Turkish bath), and enjoy a centuries-old wellness ritual that combines steam and massage.
