Reiseführer Tunesien

Tunisia is considered the birthplace of the Arab Spring. In 2011, the people of this North African state overthrew a dictator and regained control. The country flourished – also in terms of tourism. Small private guesthouses sprang up everywhere, making travel to the hinterlands of traditional beach resorts like Hammamet much more charming. Young Tunisians are passionately working to harness the rich potential of their country: hiking trails lead through parched, deep canyons on the edge of the desert, the historic sites of Carthage can be explored along stunning coastal routes by rental bikes, and climbers, kitesurfers, and divers are discovering new opportunities. Author Simon Kremer goes beyond common clichés in his travel guide to Tunisia and delves deep into the culture of this country bordering the Mediterranean and the Sahara, which surprises with its diversity: Who would think of camping in mist-soaked cork oak forests, enjoying wild boar roast by a crackling fireplace in a chalet, or a wine tradition that dates back to antiquity when thinking of Tunisia? Each chapter of the travel guide begins with a double page introducing the contents with highlights and page references. Additionally, the guide contains tried-and-true practical tips on travel questions from A to Z. The introduction includes an annual overview of festivals and events, suggested itineraries, and special tips from the author. Many more pieces of information, such as travel details and various activity options, serve as helpful planning aids.
