Tunisia is a lively and culturally diverse destination with a topography that varies from lush oases and interior woodlands, to the remarkable lunar landscapes which featured in the Star Wars films.

The ruins at Carthage are some of the most extensive and least visited Roman remains in the world, while the fine Tunisian coastline is home to some of the best beaches in the Mediterranean.

Summer is the most popular time for a visit, though autumn days are pleasantly warm and in the spring the countryside is in full bloom after the winter rains.

Tunisia is North Africa’s smallest country, making it easy for the traveller to experience the full range of its cultural variety during a relatively short stay. It is also an ideal short-haul destination for sunseekers.
