Tunisia is a truly unique and unexplored destination for Latvian travelers. Some tourists enjoy the expanses of the desert, others enjoy hiking in the mountains, others enjoy the waters of the Mediterranean Sea, and still others enjoy resorts, ancient history, fragrant cuisine, markets, or any other thing from an endless list of entertainment.
Mediterranean Sea
One of the main treasures of Tunisia is its clear and clean water, as well as magnificent beaches that attract tourists from all over the world. The Mediterranean coast, with a length of about 1300 kilometers, offers its guests a wide range of entertainment.
Beach holidays: Tunisia is known for its beautiful sandy beaches. Tourists can relax, sunbathe and swim in the warm waters of popular destinations such as Hammamet, Soussa, Skanes and Mahdia.
Swimming and diving: The underwater world of Tunisia is a real storehouse for lovers of swimming and diving. In coastal towns there are diving centers and clubs that offer dives for both beginners and experienced divers. And if you really want to, then you can explore underwater caves, reefs and even sunken ships, as well as meet colorful fish and coral reefs.
Water skiing: Many beach resorts and coastal towns in Tunisia offer a variety of water activities, including water skiing and jet skis. Visitors can rent jet skis or join organized tours for exciting rides on the waves.
Kitesurfing: Tunisia is considered by many to be a paradise for kitesurfers. Especially famous is the island of Djerba, which is considered the capital of this exciting sport, which attracts both hardened wave conquerors and those who just want to try water activities.
Sailing: Tunisian harbours, including the prestigious Port of Yasmine in Hammamet, welcome sailing enthusiasts. A sailboat or yacht trip will allow you to explore the stunning coastline and nearby islands at your own pace.
Boat trips: Boat trips are available all along the coast, ranging from short trips to full day excursions. These trips often include swimming, snorkelling, and sightseeing, during which you will see hidden coves, sea caves, and picturesque coastlines.
Sahara Desert
The Sahara Desert in Tunisia occupies almost a quarter of the country’s territory – of course, the south. In this unique and mesmerizing place, you can choose entertainment for every taste.
Excursions: One of the safest ways to explore the wilderness is on a guided tour. Multi-day tours are offered, including camel trekking, visits to oasis towns such as Douz and Tozeur, and overnight stays in traditional Bedouin camps.
Camel Trekking: Experience the majesty of the Sahara Desert and cross the sand dunes in peace by riding a camel.
Desert Safari 4×4: For adrenaline lovers, a 4×4 jeep safari is a good option for adventure. Experienced drivers will drive along the sand dunes and show the beauty of the surrounding landscape, which changes with every kilometer of the way.
Sandboarding: Like snowboarding, riding the sand dunes on a specially designed board is not only a fun pastime, but also an unusual way to get to know the wilderness.
Stargazing: One of the best destinations for stargazers is the Sahara desert. In the dark sky, you can see a huge number of stars and constellations that are not so easy to see in cities.
Desert Camping: Spending the night under the desert’s starry skies is an unforgettable experience that allows you to enjoy the peace and beauty of the surrounding nature. This pleasure can be shared by staying overnight in a Bedouin-style tent or in the open air.
Mountains
The northwest of Tunisia is a mountainous region, part of the mighty Atlas Mountains, where there are not only breathtaking scenery, but also plenty of entertainment.
Hiking: The mountainous regions of Tunisia are punctuated by hiking trails of varying difficulty, passing through picturesque landscapes, forests and valleys. There is a route for both experienced hikers and those who just want to enjoy the mountains on foot.
Mountain biking: The mountainous terrain of Tunisia creates ideal conditions for mountain biking. Tourists can rent a mountain bike and ride at their own pace or join guided tours.
Climbing: On the mountain ranges you can test your endurance and agility in rock climbing. It is important to have the right equipment and be confident or arrange with a knowledgeable guide who will help and advise where necessary.
Jump from a height: Those who like extreme sensations can test themselves and plan a jump with a rope. This will be the most unforgettable moment of your vacation.
The Mediterranean Sea, the Sahara Desert and the Atlas Mountains are an amazing crossroads of Arabic and French cultures, where nature, people and the rhythm of life come together, creating a special magic that is irresistible for all tourists.
Holidays in Tunisia are great weather, comfortable hotels, a variety of entertainment, cultural traditions dating back thousands of years, and unforgettable, excellent memories.
