Tourism.
Modern infrastructure, exceptional natural conditions and the hospitality of the locals contribute to an unforgettable holiday in Tunisia, both for lovers of peace and fans of endless entertainment.

These resorts win the hearts of their visitors by their beauty and tourists are eager to visit them whatever it takes to get here. They do not even have a clue that they have settled near less glamorous and interesting resorts, such as Mehdia, Ghar el-Mel, Bizerte and Nabeul, which have a smaller of visitors and can be more comfortable because of that.
