Tunisia Travel Guide

Diverse enough to cater equally for sun-seekers, historians and adventure travel nuts, Tunisia is a heady hotchpotch of all the things that make North Africa so enticing. From broad beaches to millennia-old ruins and from mazy medinas to rolling desert, it’s a destination that balances a natural serenity with a pulse-quickening – at times turbulent – energy.

Tunisia is traditionally seen as being Arabia at its most laid-back: women’s rights are good, alcohol is freely available and the state and its religion are treated as two separate entities. That’s not to say it lacks the fascinating rhythms of the Islamic world, of course – if you’re looking for an evocative taste of this part of the globe, you’re in the right place.

Explore the coast, delve into the Sahara, visit otherworldly landscapes, sample colonial cities or just immerse yourself in the spice-scented allure of the Maghreb. The only problem is deciding what to do next.
