Tunis

Tunis, the capital of Tunisia, is a city that beautifully blends the old and the new. The city's heart, the Medina, is a UNESCO World Heritage site, a labyrinth of narrow alleyways filled with colourful markets, or souks, selling everything from spices to traditional crafts. It's a sensory overload, with the scent of exotic spices in the air, the sound of vendors haggling, and the sight of beautifully crafted ceramics and textiles.

But Tunis is not just about the old. The city also boasts a modern side, with all-inclusive hotels offering a luxurious retreat, which is where we ended up. These hotels are a world unto themselves, with every amenity you could wish for at your fingertips. From sumptuous buffets serving a variety of international and local cuisine, to swimming pools and wellness centres for relaxation, these hotels offer a haven of comfort and luxury. Whether you're exploring the bustling markets or relaxing in the comfort of your all-inclusive hotel, Tunis offers a unique blend of experiences that make it a must-visit destination.

Our hotel wasn’t really like this, but it captures the spirit of the memory.
