Located on the northern coast of Africa, Tunisia is bordered by Libya, Algeria and the Mediterranean Sea. The country is split by the Atlas Mountains: the north is green and lush and contains the Kroumirie Forest and the Medjerda River Valley; and the south is more arid containing a central plateau, a desert area and the Medjerda Mountains.

Holidays in Tunisia offer 750 miles of Mediterranean coastline with golden-sand beaches and deep blue waters. A few of the most popular seaside resorts include Sousse, Monastir, Hammamet and Nabeul - all complete with a good selection of accommodation and water sports. These resorts are particularly popular with package holidaymakers, especially families. Those seeking a little more adventure can take a trip in to the Sahara desert, and even visit the location of the Star Wars films.

Just a three-hour flight from the UK, holidays in Tunisia offer a fusion of Mediterranean holidays, with golden-sand beaches and modern amenities, and North African culture, with bustling bazaars, walled medinas, and ancient souks and mosques. The country boasts a rich historic past with hundreds of well-preserved sites spanning back centuries. The Spanish, French and Romans all contributed to the country's magnificent architecture and archaeological sites. One of the most well known is the famous Roman ruins of Carthage and El-Jem.
