Is Tunisia...?

Q: Is Tunisia a nice place for a holiday? Thanks! :0)

A: Tunisia is gorgeous for holiday: It really depends on where you want to go and what you are expecting to do. Situated on the Mediterranean Sea, it is the northernmost African country, and the smallest of the nations situated along the Atlas mountain range, bordering Algeria, to the west, and Libya to the south east. I love Tunisia very much! The country is so full of history (has been under the rule of Phoenicians, Romans, Arabs, Berbers, Ottomans, Beys, and French; played a significat part in WWII, was the center of the ancient world with Carthage as the capitol, etc) and it has so many beatiful places to visit! It is unlike any other Arab country in that is has a lot of greenery. There are also many historical ruins in just about every part of the country you go to. The mountain region is breathtaking! There are fantastic views and an the atmosphere is reminiscent of an old town in Switzerland. Absolutely gorgeous! The coast is marvelous. The Sea is clear and picturesque. The midland and south are terrific because they offer you the chance to peek into a forgetten society - one that holds fast to tradition. I have been all over Tunisia and have visited most cities and have loved everyone because they each have their own special charm. The people are so warm and hospitable. They instantly welcome you as one of their own and treat you like family. Tunisia is also a very safe place. There are not many places in this world where a women can walk the streets alone in the middle of the night without fear. Yet I often take late night walks and have never had any problems and have never felt fearful. If you tell me what city or cities you are thinking of going on vacation to, I can tell you some interesting and fun things to do there, as well as share some of my pictures that I have taken of those cities. Since I live here I have been to almost every city in Tunisia and they ALL have a special charm about them! Feel free to contact me with any further questions or if I can be of more assistance.
