Tunisia is a country situated on the Mediterranean
coast of North Africa. It is the northernmost
African country and the smallest of the nations
situated along the Atlas mountain range, bordering
Algeria, to the west, and Libya to the south east.
Around forty percent of the country is composed of
the Sahara desert, with much of the remainder
consisting of particularly fertile soil, and a
1300-km coastline. Both played a prominent role in
ancient times, first with the famous Phoenician city
of Carthage, and later, as the Africa Province,
which became known as the bread basket of the Roman
Empire.
Tunisia, a melting-pot of different civilizations,
has always had a rich cultural activity, as
testified by its prestigious museums and cultural
institutions and by the various international
festivals held throughout the year.
Well known seaside resort areas - Sousse, Monastir,
Hammamet and Nabeul, Djerba and Tabarka offer their
visitors the finest sand beaches and crystalline
water along with a dizzying choice of waterfront
hotels featuring sun and sea sports as windsurfing
and sailing, underwater sightseeing, fishing and of
course horseback riding. Hotels are built with the
visitor's comfort and enjoyment in mind and their
restaurants feature both international as well as
Tunisian Cuisine. During the peak summer season no
effort is spared to provide the maximum of
activities at the hotel and throughout the region.
Summer festivals held nearby invite you join in with
your Tunisian hosts to celebrate Father Neptune,
share their local folklore, enjoy a concert or or
just have fun.
Feeling guilty about the long lazy days spent in
delicious idleness bronzing on the beach? Often an
hours drive from these modern resorts will bring you
to another Tunisia, one of ancient Roman, Arab,
Berber or Phoenician sites. Reminders of this rich
historical past abound and visitors will return
again and again captivated by the diversity of this
Mediterranean land. |
