Tunisia Holidays
Tunisia is a stunning place to visit whatever your reasons, but the country is a must for those with an interest in the history of our world. Whether you plan on travelling to the historic ruins of Carthage, the Mosque of Uqba or the National Museum of Bardo, there is plenty to discover about the North of Africa’s past.
Tunisia holidays attract all sorts of different people however – it isn’t just the history buffs that should start packing. If you know where to looks (Towns like Sousse come well recommended from young clubbers visiting the towns, although as a rule you should make sure the club is one of a good reputation, as like all places with a good nightlife scene, there are seedier places that one can stumble into.
The best time to visit Tunisia is during their spring (March to May), as in the summer months, not only is accommodation at a premium but the weather is often stiflingly hot.
Visas and documentation should pose no problem to most – citizens of most western countries can stay for three months with no Visa, although Australian and New Zealand citizens are only granted two weeks upon entry. Extensions to these allowances aren’t difficult to get, but you should be aware that they can take two weeks to be issued. Also, it should be noted that Israeli citizens are not allowed access to the country.
Healthcare, however, is something that can catch people out. Tunisia does not have a reciprocal healthcare agreement with the UK, and as such your travel insurance policy will need to be up to date before you travel. Waterborne viruses are more common than other countries, so precautions should be taken (Only drinking boiled or bottled water, for example). If you are taken seriously ill in Tunisia there is a chance you will be taken to Italy by air for treatment, as their healthcare is far more advanced than Tunisia’s.
These things should not spoil your enjoyment of a wonderful country however, with miles of beautiful coast, awe-inspiring places to see and a great culture, Tunisia is a perfect holiday for just about anyone.
