going on hoilday to tunisia in august...?

Q: whats is like weather, places, nightlife, men etc..

A: 1.) Weather will be HOT!! Wear clothes that are lightweight and light in color to help you stay cool. Also be sure to bring a hat and sunscreen. You could check this site as it gets closer to your arrival day for up to date info: http://weather.yahoo.com/regional/TSXX.html. You can click to see temperatures in Celsius or Fahrenheit. Since you didn't specify a city, I gave you the link for the whole country. Weather Underground will search historical database for weather conditions in past years. The results will help you plan accordingly telling you how hot, cold, wet or windy it will be. http://www.wunderground.com/tripplanner/index.asp Another fun site to view is: http://www.weather2travel.com/climate-guides/index.php?country=tunisia It gives the averages on different things from outside temperature to Sea temperature to hours of sunlight and more for different parts of Tunisia. Temperatures are listed in Celsius, but to view them in Fahrenheit, just hover your mouse over the temperature you would like to see. Again, I gave you the link for the whole country since you did not specify a city you will visit. 2.) Places to go will depend on what city you are in. Here is a short description of the most popular tourist destinations: The Isle of Djerba is popular because of it's seclusion from the mainland, it's quiet and calm atmosphere, and the fact that one of the Star Wars set is on the island. Definitely a favorite for those who want to escape the hustle and bustle of busy life and enjoy peace, quiet, great beaches, and nature. Hammamet & Yassmine Hammamet (same city, but divided into two parts) is popular because it is calm, quiet, yet has a great nightlife and wonderful beaches. Sousse (a lot of people think of Port el Kantaoui) is great because it offers lovely beaches but is still very much a bustling city with lots of shopping, food, and fun. The famous authentic medina is a UNESCO site Monastir is another popular destination because the city is very calm and quiet with gorgeous beaches, a few good restaurants, and is only 30mins from Sousse. It is particularly nice for those who want peace and quiet during the day but want to be close to good nightlife. The Ribat was used in filming Monty Pythons Life Of Brian, and the Italian Life of Christ. It is also the hometown of the first Tunisian president Habib Bourguiba. Tunis- is the ancient ruins of the great historical city of Carthage. Tunis is also home to the North Africa American Cemetery. The medina is probably the most visited place in Tunis. It is marvelously preserved still enclosed by ramparts with gates for communication with the exterior. Toezeur- you reach the Sahara desert. It is famous for the yellow bricks, and the palm tree forest in the middle of the desert. Parts of The English Patient was filmed here. Some popular places to visit/take excursions to are: Matmata- Is a UNESCO site - the houses are all underground! It is also one of the filming sites for the original Star Wars El Jem- is the biggest and most in tact Roman coliseum in the world, and Gladiator was filmed there. Oang Jamel- it is out in the middle of the desert, but it is here that one of the most famous Star Wars sets still stands. You can only reach this area with a 4x4 because of the washboard road, but more importantly because the winds blow the Sahara sands onto the roads and will get anything less stuck. Kerkouane- UNESCO has placed this site on its list because it is the only Punic settlement not to have been built over by subsequent civilizations. Kairouan- It is the most important Muslim city in North Africa. The most visited monument in Kairouan is the Great Mosque. It was first built in 670 by the famous conqueror, Okba ibn Nafaa under whom Kairouan became the capital of Arab-Muslim Ifryqia and the holy city of Islam. Kairouan is also known as the capital of carpet weaving in Tunisia. Dougga- When archaeologists began the excavation in this town they were surprised to discover such a vast town buried under modern villages. The site contains temple and shrines, public squares, public bath and theater, private homes and funerary monuments of different rites. Sidi Bou Said- Beautiful seaside town of white houses with blue doors and shutters. This town is situated on top of a cliff that overlooks the Bey of Tunis. Here is a link to a question I answered that talks about things to do in select cities: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AodWXBzTi1xdf0RHEzTVaMMH7RR.;_ylv=3?qid=20080327151055AAfcpn3 3.) Again, this depends on what city you go to. Most hotels have a disco inside, and some have more than one. The major tourist cities also have discos that you can go to, and some have movie theaters, bowling, etc. 4.) The answer to this is kinda long, so I will give you a link to a question I answered that deals with this topic exclusively: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Av3XSxHSVmLavcHxCCslIPAH7RR.;_ylv=3?qid=20080530092351AAJfaKA Hope this helped you.
