Why Tunisia Should Be Your Next 2025 Travel Destination : 6 Compelling Reasons

I grew up between Europe and Tunisia. However, for the past 10 years, I have been primarily based in Europe.

My diverse international background has heightened my appreciation for the unique treasures present in my home country. Consequently, during each visit to Tunisia, I make a conscious effort to embrace and take advantage of the following 6 cherished gems it offers:

Sandy Beaches

With a coastline stretching nearly 1200 km, Tunisia undoubtedly boasts spectacular views of the Mediterranean Sea.

The favorite pastime for many Tunisians is going to the beach, swimming and reclining under a parasol. Personally, I find joy in sports or delving into a good book whenever I go to the "bhar" (beach in Tunisian Arabic).

History

Tunisia boasts a rich history spanning over 3000 years, having been integral to the Phoenician, Roman, Arab, and Ottoman empires. It also functioned as a French protectorate until gaining independence in 1956.

Currently, seven Tunisian sites have earned recognition as World Heritage Sites:

• Amphitheatre of El Jem

• Archaeological Site of Carthage

• Dougga

• Kairouan

• Medina of Sousse

• Medina of Tunis

• Punic Town of Kerkouane and its Necropolis

These sites collectively reflect Tunisia's historical and cultural significance, drawing visitors from around the globe.

Slow living

I struggle to find the perfect description, but Tunisia, especially Djerba, serves as my stress antidote.

The feeling of the warm wind gently touching my face, the limited intrusion of technology into people's lives, the absence of towering buildings at every turn, and the enveloping presence of palm trees and water—these elements effortlessly rejuvenate me.

Most Beautiful Sunsets & Sunrises

Tunisia’s sunrises and sunsets are breathtaking, thanks to its clear skies, unobstructed horizons, and diverse landscapes. The crisp, pollution-free air allows vibrant colors to paint the sky, while the lack of high-rise buildings ensures uninterrupted views.

What makes Tunisia even more unique is its geography. Along the Mediterranean coast, the sun reflects beautifully on the sea, while in the Sahara Desert, light dances over the golden dunes, creating a magical scene.

Whether by the sea or in the desert, Tunisia’s sunrises and sunsets offer a daily spectacle of natural beauty. Check the gallery below

Art

Djerbahood in Erriadh is an open-air museum and a vibrant celebration of street art and art galleries. Located on the island of Djerba, this historic village has been transformed by over 150 artists from around the world, who have adorned its whitewashed walls with colorful murals.

Renowned names like El Seed, Inti, and ROA, alongside talented emerging artists, have contributed their unique styles and visions. Their works reflect a mix of global and local influences, blending traditional Tunisian culture with modern creativity.

Strolling through its narrow streets feels like stepping into a living gallery, making Djerbahood a must-visit destination for art lovers and cultural explorers alike.

Healthy, Tasty & Affordable Dishes

Yes! The majority of your grocery store or market purchases in Tunisia are bio and cheap!

Moreover, if you order fish at a restaurant, it's highly likely to be wild-caught rather than farm-raised.

Should you visit Tunisia soon, I challenge you to indulge in local delights such as "Slata Mechwya", "Brick", "couscous", and "Mloukhya."

See you in Tunisia !
