Located on the Mediterranean Sea, Tunisia offers a perfect blend of fantastic sandy beaches and history from ancient ruins. Here are things you should know if you’re considering making the trip.
Security
There have been terrorist attacks in this area, but there are helpful resources that help you navigate to safer parts of the country. Though this factor is off-putting, it’s, unfortunately, the world we live it, with France being an example of the changing security dynamic globally. As a primary guide, avoid areas near the Libyan or Algerian border. You can also opt for regions with less tourist destination. Doing so could be a blessing in disguise- you’ll end up discovering hidden gems. The resorts are however safe that you can be assured of.
Stunning beaches
Mediterranean beaches are gorgeous by default. Stretching for over a thousand kilometers, overcrowding is not a problem you’ll face when flying to this holiday destination. Beaches are long, meaning, some extending for as long as 50 kilometers. Far from the city, most resorts can maintain a quiet and serene atmosphere as well as remain unpolluted. There are also private beaches if you’re looking to be secluded and have seashore all to yourself and practice wellness PR.
Historical and archaeological sites
For most of the places you visit, you’ll feel as though you stepped into a different century. The architecture read something off Aladdin and other Arabian themed cartoons you may have grown up watching. You can take tours around and enjoy the country’s heritage. The official language is Arabic so you’d expect to learn a lot about their culture in that regard. You’ll, however, be surprised to learn of the existence of Roman ruins- Tunisia has a long, rich history worth getting to know about.
Sahara desert
Just on the country’s backyard is the world’s largest desert. Whether you’re looking for a desert safari or enjoy the stars at night, head over to the southern region of the country for the experience. You can also visit the salt lakes or even oasis. There are also plenty of historical sites in this desert region.
Sunshine all year round
The fantastic Mediterranean climate means that there are sunshine and warmth all year round. That means that you don’t have to be restricted to certain months of the year. January is, however, the coldest with temperatures as low as 12 degrees Celsius, and July and August is 40 degrees Celsius due to the hot desert air. On average, however, the temps are a delightful 27 degrees.
Conclusion
As you’d expect, getting around is quite easy. What’s even better is the unique cuisine the country has to offer. If you enjoy foreign cuisine, your taste buds will be delighted with the seafood variety.
