~Tantalizing Tunisia!~

Tunisia is very naturally diverse. There is much to see and do there, visit the Atlas Mountains, Sahara Desert, Salt Lakes and the warm, palm edged beaches of the north & east of the country.

Tunisia is rich in places of natural, historical & cultural interests. The Romans were here in their hay day & left the impressive Amphiteatre at El Djem as well as other sites around the country.

It is a Muslim country, but Christian influences can be seen from French colonial days gone by in the impressive cathedral at Tunis.

Last visit to Tunisia: Feb 1990

Tunisia is a wonderful place, but, I think I need a guide like you for me to be motivated to go. Thanks for sharing.
