Tunisia

Just across the border from Libya, Tunisia packs a remarkable variety into a small country: long sandy beaches on the Mediterranean, lively medinas, some of the best-preserved Roman sites in North Africa and the golden dunes of the Sahara.

A destination for every kind of trip

Families come for the seaside resorts of Hammamet, Sousse, Monastir and Djerba, with their hotels, water parks and calm beaches. History lovers explore Carthage, the amphitheatre of El Jem and the holy city of Kairouan, while the south invites you to discover the oases of Tozeur and Douz and the troglodyte houses of Matmata.

Easy to reach from Libya

Tunisia can be reached by road through the Ras Ajdir and Dehiba border crossings, or by air to Tunis-Carthage and Djerba-Zarzis airports. Our team arranges your hotel, transfers and tours so you can travel with peace of mind.
