DESTINATIONS · Tunisia
So close to Europe, yet already unmistakably African.
Tunisia often begins in Tunis, among the city’s boulevards, the old medina and the ruins of Carthage, with blue-and-white Sidi Bou Saïd overlooking the Mediterranean just nearby. Further south, the coast changes the scenery: Hammamet, Sousse and Port El Kantaoui bring beaches and an easy holiday rhythm, while Monastir, between the sea and the walls of its Ribat, reveals another side of Tunisia.
So close to Europe, yet already unmistakably African.
Further on, Djerba moves at its own pace, between beaches, whitewashed villages, Houmt Souk and a rich multicultural heritage. Leave the coast behind and you reach the Roman amphitheatre of El Jem, the oases of Tozeur, Berber villages, salt lakes and, eventually, the Sahara — a Tunisia that feels much farther away than the few hours separating it from Europe.
You come for beaches and sunshine, thalassotherapy and spa, for medinas and ancient sites, gastronomy, the desert and adventure, or simply for a few days when you don’t have to do very much at all. But Tunisia becomes even more interesting when you combine them: Mediterranean and Sahara, Tunis and Djerba, history and beach, hammam and adventure — in a country close enough for an easy escape and different enough to make you feel you have truly travelled.

“The French call it Le Pays Proche — the nearby country. Perhaps that says it best: close in distance, surprisingly far away in atmosphere.”
