Travel to Tunisia
From the Atlas Mountains to the Sahara Desert, Tunisia is a country that perfectly reflects the culture and opportunities that are present within the Mediterranean Basin. It was a major mercantile power during the Roman years, has Berber influences throughout, and there are also Ottoman and French cultures intertwined to make this nation a unique place to explore on the African continent.
Many of the tourism opportunities center around Tunis and Carthage, but this jewel of the Mediterranean offers much more than antiquities and ruins to explore. Sun-drenched beaches with gentle waters offer you a unique opportunity to relax in your own way. The shopping experiences offer a unique way to embrace the local culture while still enjoying modern amenities.
Monastir is another unique opportunity for visitors to encounter the authentic Tunisia. It’s one of the most ancient cities in the nation and it combines golfing and scuba diving with the opportunity to explore Forte El Ribat, which will cause your camera to beg you to begin taking pictures. You can also visit famous film locations in this nation, from Star Wars to Monty Python if you are a fan of cinema.
Tunisia offers the opportunity to enjoy a warm climate and golden beaches with luxury accommodations. It also offers the chance for those who love to pursue history to encounter something new and exciting. Whether it is intrigue or basic relaxation that you pursue, Tunisia has an answer waiting for you.
