From the Mediterranean beaches to the Sahara Desert, sand dunes to palm tree oases, underground houses, to space age sets of Star Wars, Islamic architecture to Roman ruins - Tunisia has the lot. The six National Parks, desert oases like Zaafrane, Tozeur and Kebili with hot pools, the 9th century Great Mosque of Kairouan are some of its highlights.
If history tires you, walk along miles of sparkling beaches, or or just sun-bathe. Dune skiing, land yachting and camel trekking gives an authentic desert experience. Silk headscarves and scented oils make great souvenirs.
