Tunisia Holidays


If you fancy somewhere different to the mainstream Mediterranean resorts but still only a short flight from the UK, offering great beaches, an excellent range of hotels and friendly locals, look no further than a holiday in Tunisia.

Tunisia is a fantastic country of contrasts, from the fertile Med in the north to the Sahara desert in the south. Tunisia is a great place to enjoy the warm Mediterranean sunshine and have a relaxing holiday. Hotels range from basic to luxury 5* beachfront properties and there is something for all budgets. All the resorts have fantastic golden sandy beaches and are ideal for anyone who loves the beach. Most of the resorts have low key nightlife and evenings are spent in the hotel, many of which offer entertainment. However the popular resorts of Port El Kantaoui and Yasmine Hammamet have a selection of bars and restaurants as well as a disco or two!

Holidays in Tunisia do not need to be just confined to the beach, there is lots of history including the historical city of Carthage that was founded by the Phoenicians and later became a powerful city under the Roman Empire. There are many other impressive sites such as the ampitheatre of El Djem is worth a visit and the museum of Bardo. As well as the historic sites the famous film set of Star Wars or the English Paitent are popular days out. Whatever you feel like doing in Tunisia, it does offer more than just a beach holiday.

Eating and drinking out offer excellent value for money thanks to the good exchange rate for the pound against the Dinar. Tunisia produces it's own wine and alcohol is freely available in bars and restaurants. Most hotels serve western style food however local specialities are worth trying with the seafood dishes very tasty. Couscous is the national dishes and served with lamb, chicken, fish and lots of vegetables and widely available.

Tunisia holidays are available all year round from many UK airports and as it is only a three hour flight offers a great alternative to the hustle and bustle of larger resorts. For a great deal on a Tunisia holiday see our website today!
