Climate - Weather

Tunisia is a land of constant sunshine and warm water. The height of summer is a little too hot for most tastes, so July and August are regarded as ‘off-season’. Between October and May is a more comfortable time to visit, with temperatures ranging between 54 and 82°F (12 and 28°C). Springtime (March to May) brings displays of wild flowers throughout the countryside.

Welcome to Tunisia

"Soft, sandy beaches that are perfect for sunbathing and swimming, plus modern hotels set right on the beach, offering excellent value for money."

Beyond its sun-soaked shores and sandy beaches, Tunisia is an exotic land of desert oases, Roman ruins, exquisite mosques and intriguing walled 'medinas'. Although an Arab country, it has a distinct Mediterranean character about it, moulded in part by a century of French colonial rule. Combining miles of pristine beaches with the mysterious atmosphere of North Africa, Tunisia is a fascinating mix of the ancient and modern.

Beaches

Tunisia combines Africa's tropical climate with the warm, gently lapping waters of the Mediterranean. Miles of golden, sun-kissed sands, blown in from the Sahara, stretch for as far as the eye can see along a glittering coastline. Most hotels have their own private beaches so you shouldn't have trouble finding a spot to lay out your towel and bask beneath the sunshine. Simply grab your sunglasses and relax with a cocktail in one hand and a good book in the other.

Local Specialties

The food here is heavily influenced by Arabic and Turkish cuisine and the Tunisians take pride in their sophisticated taste buds. Lamb, houmous, olive oil and an array of spices regularly play a part whether in a stew, as part of a kebab or in a wrap. Seafood is another mainstay of the Tunisian diet with 'rouget', red mullet, being particularly popular. Much of your food will be provided by your hotel but there are plenty of cafes and restaurants lining the streets if you fancy sampling some of the local ambience.
