Tunisia - One Of Africa's Best Holiday Destinations

Fashion trends seem to dictate popular tourist destinations to the point that as soon as a celebrity is spotted on a yacht or outside a nightclub in a particular area, it instantly becomes the next holiday destination for the masses. Though why are the celebrities there in the first place? What or who told them to go there for a holiday? Did they pick up the latest issue of OK magazine and see another celebrity there? Maybe it is down to the appeal that the area offers?

There are many destinations that are always popular with tourists due to their ability to offer the best of one or two factors - the south of France, Spain, the Mediterranean islands and Switzerland's mountainous ski slopes to name but a few. However, some places are popular due to their ability to combine a number of factors, plus a certain mystical appeal. Tunisia is such a place, but what is it specifically about Tunisia that makes it so special?

Tunisia is the most northerly country in the continent of Africa and sits on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea, close to Sicily. With a population of nearly ten and a half million people it is certainly not the most populated of African countries, though it can boast an extremely high relative percentage of coastline, with a total of approximately eight hundred and ten miles. Tunisia is bordered by Libya to the south-east and Algeria, to the west.

As expected with such a huge coastline, Tunisia is famous for its beaches, of which the most popular are Hammamet and Port el-Kantaoui. Port el-Kantaoui was modeled on Port Grimaud, situated on the French Riviera. Also at the beach, tourists like to indulge themselves in scuba diving which is extremely popular for good reason in Tunisia. With spectacularly clear waters and some fantastic coral beds the two places to go are Port el-Kantaoui and Monastir.

Tunisia has also become famous as the location in which a number of extremely high grossing movies have been filmed. The English Patient and Raiders of the Lost Ark were both filmed there, along with two Star Wars films; A New Hope and The Phantom Menace. One specific location for the movie Star Wars:A New Hope, specifically the lead characters childhood home, has now been turned into a hotel where visitors can come to stay in subterranean rooms and eat dinner surrounded by sci-fi props. Whereas the hotel previously mentioned (the Sidi Driss hotel in Matmata) is not that difficult to locate on a map, finding the different locations in which other blockbusters were filmed may prove a little more difficult without a prior internet search or a guide.
