Tunisia: Updates & Travel

Travel in Tunisia?

The land where Berbers have intermingled with Arabs and where French influences have not gone unnoticed. Tunisia's 1,200 km-long beach coast is the base for visits to oases and inland desert areas. In winter, temperatures are sometimes very low. Try skiing or sandboarding off a sand hill in the desert.
Imagine yourself in Roman times. In Bulla Regia there are still almost intact rooms and underground vaults. In Dougga, much of the old Roman city of 10,000 inhabitants is still standing. But most imposing is the colosseum in El Jem (also on the UNESCO World Heritage List) where 30,000 men once enjoyed games.
Chott el Jerid. Vast lakes in winter and dry landscape in summer.
Take a tour of the Sahara Desert. You can also dune-ski!
Lake Ichkeul with beautiful birds and swamp.
Take a steam bath at the Hammam.
Djerba. A fairytale island with white palm beaches and small towns.
Kairouan. A holy city for Muslims seen by many Muslims as the most important pilgrimage site in North Africa. With beautiful mosques and a busy medina (old buildings and many stores).
Tunis, the capital, is a hodgepodge of different architectural styles. There are buildings still reminiscent of Ottoman empire, of the Arabs and there is also a lot of modern architecture.
The unrest and problems at the Libyan border.
