Desert explorations, splash-ready pools and ancient cities are on the cards with a family holiday to Tunisia.
Beach days
Tunisia is home to a cocktail of family-ready beaches. Hammamet’s stretches of white sands are great for kids, plus the warm waters and marine life make it a great spot for scuba diving and snorkelling. Or, treat the brood to a beach day in Monastir, which can be explored by boat, surfboard, or – if you’re feeling fancy – horseback.
Tasty Tunisian cuisine
You can’t go to Tunisia without sampling the local fare. Drawing on the country’s rich history, the food here mixes up North African spice with a dash of French influence. Adults will love the complex flavours, but if you’re treating the kids to a snack, we recommend trying brik a l'oeuf – a thin sheet of pastry, filled with an egg yolk, folded into a triangular shape and deep fried.
Desert exploring
If you’re travelling with older kids in tow, why not plan an adventure trip into the Sahara Desert? Bundle into a 4x4 to explore a timeless landscape. Tours can take you to the amphitheatre in El Djem – one of the biggest and best-preserved Roman amphitheatres in the world – and even to see the shooting locations of the Star Wars movies.
Family-ready resorts
Tunisia’s not short on family-friendly resorts. Take your pick from hotels that offer child-friendly facilities like kids’ clubs and sports activities. Plus, most of them are close to the beach, with top pool scenes to boot.
