El Mouradi El Menzah

The Capital

by Malecka

Well, I spent most of the time in Tunis, the capital, since we had an acommodation there (cannot add tips on that one since we were lucky to get some help from a great tunisian guy who found a room for us).
I loved the city - there is a certain mixture of styles - what I consider arabic and Mediterranean (the white houses you can find in Andalucia, or the greek islands)...

The nice neighbourhoods are the rich ones El Manar and El Menzah - nice architecture, and also cafes, shops, restaurants. Cool to spend a day at.
And one more thing... the coast outside the capital is lovely too especially the beach of Hotel KARIM, so-called KARIM beach. Very nice. Getting there with a taxi costed us around 5$. Every single walk through the city!

Elegant but crowded

Hammamet is clearly among North Africa's finest beach resorts allowing you to sunbathe and watch the sea at the same time.

"Plenty of beaches"

Hammamet's beaches go on for km & km and there is virtually no point along the coast that doesn't allow swimming.
Despite the fact that many tourists coming here, Hammamet's beaches rarely becomes very crowded. And they are clean and inviting too

"The tiny medina"

The medina dates back to around 1500, when the Hafsids erected the present walls, allowing safe living and trade here.
Its condition is excellent, but few streets offer much authentic experience, since souvenir stalls fill most streets. But yet, there are some areas without, especially in the southern residential district.
