Tunisia is a diverse and fascinating place, where the charm of the Orient is intertwined with ancient ruins, paradisiacal beaches and stunning cities, all surrounded by the turquoise sea.
A must-see for those who like scenic views is the Tunis district with its blue-and-white houses – Sidi Bu Said. 17 km from Tunis is Carthage, where during the time of the Roman Empire there were then the largest thermae in the world.
The northern part of Tunisia lies in a Mediterranean climate with hot and dry summers. In holiday resorts, the high temperatures are cooled by sea breezes.
Tunisian beaches are wide and sandy. They have golden, fine sand and a gentle descent into the warm sea.
Tunisian cuisine is mainly fresh fish and seafood, couscous groats, vegetables, as well as meat – lamb and mutton and fresh and aromatic spices. One can notice the influence of Mediterranean, French or Turkish cuisine.
