While in Tunisia, I stayed in the Riu el Kabir, which is a beautiful resort out the outskirts of Hammamet. I purposely chose this spot, as I was with my girlfriend and just wanted a relaxing getaway. We even went as far as doing an all inclusive (which is not something that we normally do) seeing as the price was so cheap!
The resort itself was stunning, but the idea of this review is to give you an idea of what Tunisia is like as a holiday destination. The people were extremely helpful, from those that worked at the resort, to the people minding the tours, to the cab drivers. We spend a day in Hammamet going through the markets, which was both an amazing and yet overwhelming experience. Most of the tunisians are able to speak five or six different languages and they are not shy about getting in your face to try and sell their products. They will say hello, how are you? in each different language until you react to find out where you are from. We were approached with beautiful turqouise jewellery, to toys, to someone trying to sell a turtle. I can see how this might not be for everyone, but I, personally enjoyed going to Tunisiafor these types of cultural experiences. On top of that, the beaches themselves were absolutely stunning without any pebbles or seaweed in site and your really felt like you were at the most relaxing location. highly recommend tryingt Tunisia out. It is cost-effective, and I'd be happy to answer any questions/comments.
