from the UK, Tunisia offers an array of holidays for travelers, whether it’s shopping in a local market, exploring an ancient building, experiencing an olfactory cornucopia in a aromatic spice stall, haggling for a colorful rug in the open air market or just sitting poolside. Tunisia, home to an eclectic and diverse landscape, is home to many resorts or
spas offering amenities found in countries often considered more cosmopolitan than Tunisia.
40 km south of
Tunis lays the seaside resort town
Hammamet (the name of the town is believed to be derived from the Arabian word al-hammamat meaning “the baths”), home to a number of resorts and spas offering travelers exciting medina, mineral baths present since the Roman times, a breath-taking expanse of beach and five-star hotels galore. Once a small fishing village, Hammamet was “discovered” in the 1920’s by the crème de la crème of American and European society and became a playground to the rich and famous. Since it’s primarily a resort town located on the water, most resorts offer to their guests a variety of water sports such as snorkeling, deep sea diving, water skiing and jet skiing; one of the most popular choices for tourists is a boat ride to the bay to view the dolphins as they play. However, for those less aquatically designed, there is also hiking, horseback riding, golf, tennis and exploration from the back of a camel. The Tunisian coastline is dotted with cities and towns like Hammamet, all offering similar amenities; cities such as Carthage and Tunis, to name but two.
Further inland are resorts and spas offering not aquatic recreation but a drier holiday in the form of the Sofitel Palm Beach located in Tozeur, a mere five minute drive from the Tozeur-North Airport. Though Tozeur is home to numerous resorts and spas, one of its premier resorts could be the Sofitel Palm Beach. Residing next to a mountain, situated on an oasis, the Sofitel offers to its visitors 121 rooms and seven suites as well as lush gardens for strolling. With one restaurant in the
hotel and a café poolside, travelers are able to dine on lighter fare as well as international cuisine alongside traditional Tunisian gastronomy. Also in the
hotel, catering to the comfort of its residents, the Sofitel provides a fitness center, a spa Accor thalassa, a Turkish bath and a sauna and Jacuzzi. Those wishing to venture into the city Tozeur will not be disappointed in that the city proffers nightclubs, though they are generally open only until midnight, a grove of palm trees thousands strong due to an approximately 11 km large oasis, and an open-air market selling the finest wares Tunisia’s people can present.
Tunisia gives so many choices for travelers planning a
cheap holiday. If you’re looking for a sunny
beach holiday, Tunisia has it; if it’s a desert locale you desire,
Tunisia has that too. Tunisia also has for its visitors a mountainous region for hiking, higher altitudes and cooler temperatures. So it’s easy to see Tunisia has it all for those planning a cheap holiday in Tunisia, no matter what environment you’re looking for.
