TUNIS… AND ITS BEACHES

With an immediate coastline of more than twenty kilometers of beaches, picturesque villages and a host of activities, Tunis has everything for the lover of sun and sand. From la Goulette to Raoued, the coast is a veritable open-air museum, a scenic wonder… La Goulette, with its 16th century fortress, its restaurants and their grilled fish specialities, where the tables spill out onto the pavements during the summer months.
Salammbo, immortalised by Flaubert and surrounded by the Punic Ports. Here and there one catches a glimpse of snow white villas hidden in perfumed gardens. The Oceanographic Museum includes an interesting collection of marine wild life.
Sidi Bou Said, a haven of peace in a typical Mediterranean ambiance. This village has a quite extraordinary charm. It is built around the minaret of the central mosque and on the sides of steep scarlet hued cliffs.
La Marsa, the ancient Summer Palace of the Beys of Tunis. The great local attraction is the Cafe Saf- Saf with its malouf music.
Raoued, miles of open beaches ,with excellent facilities.
