From one to three hours flying time of various European gateways, Tunisia is visited by nearly four million tourists annually. While the majority of these tourists are Europeans seeking sun, sea and sand, Tunisia offers the sophisticated traveler many more enticing attractions.

As the breadbasket for the Roman Empire, the northern part of Tunisia is filled with wonderful antiquity sites, with many still to be excavated. These are often in portions of the country that have thus far, been spared the mass tourist development found in many coastal resorts. In addition, the south of Tunisia offers exotic desert landscapes, dotted with oases and architecture of a style that has changed little throughout the centuries.

Tunisia is a reflection of the many cultures that have inhabited it, from its indigenous Berbers, to Phoenicians, Romans, Arabs, Ottomans and the French, to name a few. In addition, the warmth of the people is found throughout the country.
