Description:

Occupying a gorgeous slice of the Mediterranean coast of North Africa, Tunisia is a perennial favorite for unhurried beach holidays, though there’s certainly more to the country once you scratch beneath the surface.

While splendid beach resort towns lining the northern and eastern sides of the country provide a place to warm yourself under the intense sun, there are buzzing cities, expansive desert terrain, and UNESCO World Heritage Sites with ruins stretching back as far as 250 BCE.

Head to the medinas in urban centers like Tunis and Sfax to wander through thronged souks and haggle for an array of goods. Or opt for adventure in Jebil National Park, where the sand undulates in a mesmerizing golden hue. Open your heart to Tunisia and you’ll be richly rewarded!
