Mahdia is an idyllic coastal town located on the eastern shoreline of Tunisia, exuding a charm that encapsulates the essence of tranquil Mediterranean life. Known for its rich heritage and beautiful landscapes, Mahdia is renowned for its historic influences of Roman, Byzantine, and Islamic cultures which are mirrored in its architecture, particularly the stunning 10th-century Fatimid Mosque and the ancient Borj El Kebir fortress offering panoramic sea views. Its pristine golden beaches that overlook calm turquoise waters, traditional fish market, and the famed Mahdia lighthouse, make it a captivating destination attracting travellers wishing to immerse themselves in authentic Tunisian culture. Moreover, Mahdia is recognized as a hub for hand-weaving traditional 'chechia' caps and silk making, offering insightful craftwork experiences to its visitors.

Tunisia, an idyllic blend of Mediterranean beachfronts and Arabic culture, is perched on the northernmost point of Africa. Known for its stunning landscapes, this country offers a variety in its geography; from the sun-drenched coasts of Hammamet and Sousse, to the arid yet beautiful Sahara Desert, and not forgetting the verdant, mountainous regions of the North-West. Tunisia's long history, influenced by many civilizations is evident in its diverse architecture, from the impressive Roman amphitheater in El Jem, to the Islamic landmarks in its bustling capital, Tunis. Enthusiasts of the Star Wars franchise also frequently visit the country to travel to the sandy dunes of Tataouine, an original filming location of the famous series. Moreover, the intriguing labyrinthine souks, rich aroma of spices, and the world-class craftsmanship on display make Tunisia a perfect destination for culture and history lovers.

All travelers planning a trip to Tunisia should exercise a high degree of caution due to the threat of terrorism. Be aware of your surroundings at all times and take extra care in areas with an increased risk of danger. Always stay informed about potential civil unrest or terrorist attacks. Familiarize yourself with local customs and laws to stay safe throughout your trip. It's advised to verify with your respective national embassy or consulate about travel updates and to register your travel plans in case of emergency.

I stayed in Iberostar Royal El Mansour. It was amazing. The whole hotel grounds are secure, staff is very friendly and welcoming and the food was amazing. There was literally everything. I highly recommend the hotel spa as well. There were so many programs as well for example horse riding, caravana (camel riding), watching dolphins in the sea, quad riding, pirate ship trip and you could even rent a small plane but you had to do it with the help of your guide. I mostly used taxis to get around since it was the easiest way but i have to warn you they drive like crazy! (There was also a two day trip around Tunisia and Sahara that we were supposed to attend but couldn’t in the end due to health issues)
