Paradise denatured Tunisia? Far from it! Because she has so many other wonders to offer… And who leaves his discovery must expect to see this imaginary postcard imaginary and these clichés that stick him so much with the skin. Meet with a rich heritage where people, calm and proud as the landscape, have preserved what history has offered them. A land of contrasts, of Islam, influenced by the West, where tradition and modernity defy and embrace each other. A spoiled child, you will be, perhaps sipping ice cocktails on the edge of a swimming pool or beach, trampling the desert at small steps, enjoying thalasso care and burning jasmine and flourishing bougainvillea. But don't forget that, under the slabs of the concrete monsters, the comfortable hotel complexes, they sleep in unexplored treasures, another cocktail to savor, warm like the ashes of Elyssa.
Sometimes unknown cultural wealth
It is this Tunisia that reveals the space of a voyage. Authentic, welcoming, full of mysteries and villages still preserved. Like the top of Djebel Abiod, near Kelibia, which will make you smile face to face Sicily like a triumphant Hamilcar on Rome. Punique, Roman, vandals, Byzantine, aghlabide, tiring, Hafside, Turkish, Husseinite and then French before being independent… It's a Tunisia with great values, proud and free that awaits you. For Tunisia bears the mark of a rich, powerful and turbulent past. There are vestiges of these brilliant civilizations throughout the country. Tunisia's archeological heritage is particularly remarkable and the research continues to reveal new secrets today. Lovers of old stones, history and museums will be filled. Contemporary culture also has a say, with a myriad of festivals scheduled as early as April, mainly summer and until December. Music, folk art, tradition, theater, cinema, heritage, sport, etc.; Tunisia is a generous offer for all tastes.
A wide variety of landscapes
Tunisia, five times smaller than France, offers the opportunity to enjoy an exceptional variety of landscapes and sites in very short time. Only 500 km away from the wild beauty of the north of the country and the Cape Bon Peninsula, drawn from steep coves and isolated beaches, to the vastness of dune that is emerging in Ksar Ghilane. Berber villages, ancient sites, port towns, mountains and oasis, Tunisia is a land of contrasts that are not tired of traveling through its quality road network.
And we find charming accommodation…
Despite the proliferation of broken prices in recent years, we can find charming addresses. From Tunis to Nefta through Djerba, more and more establishments of this kind flourish. The Tunisian habitats (palace, menzels, houch, etc.) are restored and tastefully furnished and refined to delight lovers of charm, personalized service and delicacy. Tunisia, long caricatured as a destination of «all-inclusive», opens up to another type of tourism and now shows you another face, much more charming and authentic.
Spa or fancy, small-price activities
Going on holiday with little money in Tunisia is possible. Plane tickets are not excessive and life on site three times cheaper than in France. In Tunisia, palm trees and white sandy beaches tend to give us their arms, they even seem to call us… Cultural tourism, sports, seaside, Saharan, well-being and even business… Tunisia and its panel of activities, landscapes and sites fill all the desires. The Far South calls the adventurer, from the shy to the most passionate, to cross his bromdary dunes. The beaches of Djerba, Sousse and Hammamet invite you without any further delay. The medinas of Tunis, Kairouan, or Monastir, the ancient sites of El Jem, of Chemtou or Dougga, reveal themselves to the lovers of history, culture and old stones. The thalasso, balneo, spa and other cures are offering more and more possibilities for travelers seeking relaxation. Depending on whether you just want to require a body tired by a year of work, or more seriously to find treatment adapted to more disturbing health problems, we will always find appropriate therapy. Internationally recognized for the quality of its care and infrastructure, and for its still affordable rates, Tunisia is among the most attractive destinations in the register.
