Tunis, Tunisia (From La Goulette)

Exotic Arab culture, spicy North African flavours and cool French style…Tunisia is as colourful and vibrant as its handwoven carpets.

Think of La Goulette as a springboard that flips you straight into Tunisia’s hot spots. Visit nearby Tunis and explore the medieval Medina bursting with bargains and the place to bag intricate jewellery or curly-toed slippers for someone back home. For a dose of culture try the Bardo Museum or crumbling Carthage with its ancient Roman remains, or stroll round scenic Sidi Bou Said and sip a glass of mint tea in a shady café overlooking the sea.
