10 things to do in Tunisia

What are you usually looking for in your vacation? Sunbathing, sightseeing, souvenirs. And that's nice, but your trip would be much more fascinating and memorable if you do the following:

Get rid of the stereotypes

Give your drink a fresh thought. In Tunisia you should try all kinds of freshly squeezed juices, beside the usual orange there is melon, strawberry, apricot, kiwi fruit, peach, pear and even more during the high season.

Take a golf class in one of the Tunisian great first class golf clubs and learn that it is in no way a boring game. While playing a game you can not only enjoy the classy atmosphere of the club but also meet the right people. Golf clubs are well-known as a perfect place for making useful acquaintances because simply being there speaks enough of a person.

Forget about the stereotype that yachts are for movie stars and billionaires only. Missing a romantic evening on a shiny fast yacht is absolutely not acceptable. You can do anything you like on board: sunbathe on the stern, dive, dance - And don't forget to make pictures for your friends who would miss all the fun because of not knowing that in Tunisia most of the tourists can afford pleasures for the rich like yachting.

Be simple

Forget all about your expensive suntan preparations for a day and get yourself a 1 dinar tan lotion based on olive oil and lemon extract. By the evening you'll have a really fabulous tan. Have dinner at a local Arab restaurant, the one that Tunisians themselves prefer. You'll get a hearty welcome and a delicious meal which will cost only 7-8 dinars. And the next day you will definitely decide to be simple again - till the very end of your vacation now.

Change the pattern

Tunisia is the best place to do something you've never done before. Order fish even if you never have fish at home. Or try genuine coffee with additives. And if you are a coffee lover than have a cup of mint tea with nuts. Whatever you try is going to taste wonderful.

Be bad

Forget about dieting and counting calories. Tunisian pastries are beyond praise. Bakeries will amaze you with various European desserts and oriental sweets. In every cafe you can ask for pancakes with any stuffing imaginable. And between 15-20 sorts of ice-cream there is always a dietary one.

Choose the right souvenirs

A perfect present from North Africa is a bottle of marvelous red dry Vieux Magon or date liqueur Thibarine. Or just some of the premium quality dates, but remember not to put them in your luggage for the temperature drop is bad for them. If you are looking for useful present you can always get olive oil but it is better to buy one in a shop that locals prefer. In a coffee shop they will grind coffee in your present and add the spices you like, cinnamon, cardamom or cloves.

Socialize

The best night clubs of Hammamet and the capital are in no way inferior to the European ones. Plus there is absolutely no dress code to follow. The clubs offer a great choice of good alcoholic beverages, popular DJs and fabulous people to meet. We especially recommend a disco street in Hammamet, where it's always cheerful, loud and 100% safe.

Enjoy true art

The Coliseum in El Deem is not just a stop in a usual Tunisia tour but also a great concert hall. The impressive 35000 seats amphitheatre is only a little bit smaller then the Roman Coliseum. The acoustics in this stadium is so good that even from the upper row one can hear the sound of coins hitting the ground. La Scala theatre and Russian National Orchestra have their concerts there, various jazz and symphonic festivals occur and even pop-stars are honored to perform in the Coliseum.

Choose your own rout

Want to feel like a VIP? Then choose an individual tour instead of traveling with a group of familiar or unfamiliar people. You can fulfill your every wish, visit the places you want to see and spend there as much time as you want. Professional tour guide and a comfortable car will make your trip the most pleasant.

Invest $500

The best thing to invest money in is your own health and beauty. Spend a few days in a Thalassotherapy center. Only a week of pleasurable procedures there will guarantee you perfect health for the next six month. You will forget about stress and insomnia and enjoy your well deserved right for a life free of depressions and illnesses.

Buy a house

Foreigners are allowed to purchase any property in Tunisia: apartments, houses, building land. Even though today's prices are still reasonable the land in the coastal region is getting more and more expensive every day.
