Tunisia is one of those resort countries where the visa is not required to enter Russian citizens. This fact works for itself: it is not necessary to undergo bureaucratic procedures, perform additional spending, languishing waiting, when suitcases are already collected, and all thoughts are at sea. The influx of tourists here is not so big, as in the promoted directions, and the trips here are much cheaper. But the most important thing that attracts holidaymakers from all over the world is thalassotherapy. The legacy of the French in cosmetology and spa procedures, complemented by the national flavor, will allow to return from the weekend to the rampant and taut. Read more about this, as well as the most interesting places for visiting and resorts, read below.
Geography
I am washing the Mediterranean Sea from the North and East, Tunisia has a coastline of 1298 km long. He divides the territorial borders with Algeria in the West and Libya in the south-east. Sugar desert is a third of the country (in the south), nomadic tribes of Berbers live here. In the north of the Tunisian Republic (exactly the official name of Tunisia) are the fathers of the Atlas Mountains.
From Russia, Tunisia is not as far as the exotic islands somewhere in Asia or Australia. The flight time will take from 4.5 to 6 hours, depending on the direct flight or with transfers.
2) Climate Tunisia
In Tunisia, it is hot, but due to dry air, the heat is moved easier. Especially refreshing you will be the light sea breeze, so the unbearable heat will not spoil the overall picture of the rest. In the resort area in the north of the country, the climate is subtropical Mediterranean, and in the center, which is occupied by sugar - desert tropical.
In the summer the temperature reaches +33 - + 38⁰S. You can swim from May to November. If you eat here in the peak season in September and October, then take warm clothes. Evenings at this time there are already cool.
Visa to visit Tunisia
Since 2014 between Russia and Tunisia visa-free regime. All you need to cross the border - a passport, which has "left" for another 3 months of action. Do not forget to drop in before leaving a notary's office to issue an export permit for the child, if you eat without the other parent.
The main resorts of Tunisia
Tunisia has long been at the crossroads of important trade routes between East and West. Therefore, apart from the eastern hospitality, sweets and coloring, resorts in the country can offer you a European pace of life, clubs and bars, as well as two to three times thalassotherapy treatments at a price lower than in France, where it originates. Each of the maritime city is attractive in its own way.
Sousse
Sousse - this is the place where you can come off at full speed, but do not spend all of their savings in the first two days. Clubs, discos, bars work here until dawn. Girls walking in the open dresses, and young men - lose their heads by permissiveness. Arabs here apply to all the above condescendingly, not, as one might have expected in the "old town". The medina in this form is better not to show up! Hotels presented very different categories: three-, four- and five-star. But "five", to put it mildly, are not up to this five stars, so it's best to choose between "three" and "four". Another argument in their favor - insane and unbelievable animations that will not get bored absolutely anyone. Sousse equidistant from favorite places for touristsAnd so here it is convenient to make excursions.
Pay attention to the following locations in Sousse:
- old Town ( "Medina");
- mosque Ribat built in 780 g .;
- tourist complex of Port El Kantaoui.
Hammamet
Hammamet as a high-level resort appreciated at all times. Here we found peace and privacy of the "Strong World of this world" Roosevelt and Marshal Romel, the famous artists Sophie Lauren and Franco Dzeffirelli returned here more than once to relax the body and soul. By the way, now there is a summer residence of the President of the Tunisia Republic. This fact serves as the best indicator where the most equipped, developed and "high-quality" resort is located in Tunisia. European and Arab motives finely intertwined in the architecture of the city, which is manifested in the multi-line hotels in Yasminin (city district) and snow-white Arab villas with round domes. Natural beauty is not inferior to man-made: jasmine, orange, cypress, lemon gardens create not only the unique fragrance, but also stunning views. Who wants to find a confusion, will be able to find it in the centers of thalassotherapy. The same one who craves new acquaintances and a fun time is worth visiting local discos and bars.
Djerba
The most southern resort and the only island in Tunisia is called Djerba. From here you can admire the sunset, which is hidden in the waters of the Mediterranean Sea (the only place where such marine landscapes are opened). From the island of the hand to Sugara, if you want to watch the endless sands and nomadic cities of Berberov. Here always for a couple of degrees warmer than the whole Tunisia. On the island of Djerba love to relax families with children because of sandy beaches with brown vegetation and gentle descent in the sea, a small depth of his depth.
Do not miss the opportunity to get to Jerbe in:
- the oldest synagogue of the Africa El Mushroom (for more than 2,000 years), in which the oldest instance of the Torah is stored;
- fort Burge El Kubir;
- gellala Place, where pottery workshops are located.
Tunisia
It is impossible not to remember the capital of this state - the city of Tunisia. Even if yours hotel It will be placed in this city, highlight the day and visit it with the excursion group. After all, it is on its territory that Carthage is the city that is older than Rome for 60 years. It is precisely the one relative to which the phrase was pronounced by the commander Caton: "And yet, the Carthage must be destroyed!". Today, Carthage Ruins are the outskirts of Tunisia - the center of tourist pilgrimage. The Roman amphitheater at this place in which the boots of gladiators used to be considered the most surviving worldwide. A certain value is the terms of Antonin - the resort complex in which the emperors' health "corrected". The most controversial place in the territory of the ancient city - toffee, which is an altar for sacrifices.
But Carthage is not the only sight of. You will be doing something and after you visit it. In Tunisia, each tourist should do the following:
- to visit the Zitun mosque - a religious symbol of Tunisia;
- go to the Catholic Cathedral;
- take pictures against the background of Tunisian "Big Ben";
- visit the National Bardo Museum;
- pray in the Russian Orthodox Church of the Nativity of Christ;
- to affect the "airstarts" architecture of the National Drama Theater.
Kitchen
The most important highlight in Tunisian cuisine is a tuna. It is added anywhere: in the first, second and even - dessert in the form of baking! There is a version on which the country received its name from the word "tuna". In addition to dishes with a tuna, you must taste Couscus. This is an Arabic dish of wheat cereals and "filling" in the form of vegetables, meat, fish, seafood reminds of something more familiar to us. Interesting and method of its preparation - all the ingredients are languishing in the total chane for a long time. Keep in mind that all the dishes are laying a lot of spices and seasonings. Tunisians are familiar to acute food, so we practically do not notice the sharpness of dishes, but you will have to be designed with a decanter with water during the first sample of their national cuisine.
In addition to Arabic cuisine, French is represented in Tunisia, since the country has been a long-time colony of France. A delicious latte with an air croissant is the classic of the French genre, in Tunisian cafes is no longer inferior to the original.
