Tunis is truly unique and very attractive country. In November, the beach season in this region of North Africa officially closes, but this does not mean at all that you cannot go here for new experiences and a whole host of spa treatments. Just because the temperature in November in Tunisia drops very much compared to the summer months, prices are reduced for everything from plane tickets to wellness treatments and meals. Therefore, now we will consider in detail what can be done in this late autumn period in this exotic Arab country.
Briefly about Tunisia itself
Tunisia is a small state located in North Africa, between Libya and Algeria. During the existence and prosperity of the Roman Empire, Carthage, a city-state that waged constant wars with the Romans, referred to in the history of the Punic, was located on these lands. Later, in the 19th century, after an Arab ethnic group with its traditions, religion and other characteristics had already formed on the territory of this power, the French came here. For a long time, these European people ruled here, due to which the traditions of East and West are tightly mixed. Today, thanks to all these historical events, on the territory of the state you can find both unique ancient mosques and colonial buildings made in a purely European spirit, both the long golden dunes of the local deserts and the ruins of the terms that the Romans and Carthaginians erected here.
