Discover Tunisia
Tunisia's beautiful beaches and historical
treasures attract millions of tourists each
year from all over the world. A ferry
operates daily between Marseille and Tunis
port with the operator SNCM. Sailing
duration is 24 hours.
Visitors to Tunisia can sunbathe, dive,
sail, and fish along the vast stretches of
glistening, white sandy Mediterranean
beaches covering a 810- mile coast. Beach
resorts include Tabarka, Hammamet, Sousse
and Jerba. Between October and May the
average temperature ranges from 12-28° C.
From June through September expect the peak
of the Mediterranean summer heat.
French colonial past has a far-reaching
influence - most obviously in its cuisine
that blends sophisticated French styles with
Arab spice. Despite its location, edging the
Sahara, Tunisia is a surprisingly fertile
land and has six national parks. Football is
the big national sport and Tunisian players
compete in some of the big European leagues.
Travel in Tunisia
Regular trains (run by SNCFT) connect Tunis
with major towns. The main route is between
Tunis and Gabès, via Sousse, Sfax and Gafsa.
By car, there is an extensive road network.
In case of breakdown, the Garde Nationale
(National Guard) will assist free of charge
and put you in touch with the nearest
garage. Traffic drives on the right and main
roads are quick and fairly un-congested.

Things to see
Tunisia hosts a wealth of Roman
archaeological sites including the
famous Carthage. There is also the
second century Roman temple in
Dougga, the Phoenician port of
Utica, Sbeitla's Roman temples and
arches, Bulla Regia's Roman villas
and El Jem's Coliseum, which is
second only to Rome. The Bardo
Museum, near Tunis, boasts the
largest collection of Roman mosaics
in the world.
A special attraction is the unusual
Matmata where the ground is
pockmarked with craters. This is
where scenes from the original Star
Wars movie were filmed. Chott El
Jerid is an area with 2,000 sq.
miles salt-flats - making it a big
sand-yachting destination.
