And how far to this land of infinite
possibilities? You don’t need a magic carpet of a genial genie
to transport you to its thousand-and-one pleasures. Just a two-and-
three-quarter hour flight from the UK.
Tunisia may be another world but it’s
user-friendly. People from all around the Mediterranean have settled
here (not surprisingly) making it the most European of the desert
states. Resorts are cosmopolitan, with unlimited watersports, great
tennis and golf. Hotels offer up-to-the-minute facilities and in
some cases drop-dead luxury. Food can be international, spicy and
Tunisian, sophisticated French or hamburgers with french fries.
Take your pick. The seafood is fresh, vegetables and fruit are home-grown
and Tunisian wines are palatable and good value.
English is spoken in most of the
resorts and a bit of French will take you anywhere (it’s the
most widely used although Arabic is the official language).
The only problem is choosing which
aspect of Tunisia you’re going to go for. A holiday that’s
long, short, stay-put or touring around? Do you want beach scenes
or desert backdrops, city sights or Roman ruins? Or all of these
combined? Whatever, we can arrange it. You can have Tunisia ready-made
in a simple package or tailor-made to suit your own individual preferences.
Just turn the pages of this brochure and discover the tantalizing
range of options.
From April to November, temperatures
don’t drop below 70F (21C). They soar in July and August. Winter
is cooler but bright. The ideal time to go touring is any time from
September to June. The chart shows average daily maximum temperatures
in °F and °C plus the average daily hours of sunshine. Jerba
and the south are generally a few degrees higher. (See
