Tunisia, Africa
Tunis, Bizerte, le Kef, Beja, Gabes, Sfax, Hammam Lif...
Took advantage of some very cheap flights and spent two weeks in Tunisia in April. Stayes away from the resorts and headed to the more unexplored regions. Bizerte is an amazing old port with great empty beaches, Beja and le Kef interesting old towns on hilltops, Sfax a fascinating medina with very few tourists…but maybe the biggest surprise was Tunis. Coach tours bring holidaymakers from the beach “ghettos” and drag them through a souvenir market or two, before whisking them off to a museum and Sidi Bou Said, but the rest of the city is left untouched…it is a great city to walk around with a huge medina and a few old suburbs, and the coastal suburbs are very easy to reach too. i’d heard many bad things about Tunisia from those on package tours, but I saw a completely different side to the country…would love to go back and explore some more.
