Holidays in Tunisia in July 2021 - weather, sea, reviews

Holidays in Tunisia in July may seem exotic to someone. After all, usually in the diary for this time, tourists en masse have the entry "Turkey or Cyprus". And Africa is often associated with the Third World - but we assure you that this is not about Tunisia.

Is it possible to go to Tunisia now?

- From the side of Tunisia officially Yes, the country is waiting for all tourists on the condition that they pass a PCR test 72 hours before departure and another one upon arrival.
- From the Russian side, apparently, No, because air traffic is still closed and they are not going to restore it yet.

But bans are bored with all the order, and therefore some tour operators use a loophole. Since April, they have put tours on sale and - believe it not - they actually send tourists to the resorts of Tunisia by charter flights from Moscow and St. Petersburg! True, by cargo-passenger flights, which are not intended for tourist purposes and therefore are not entirely official, but the fact is that people fly and relax.

You can view the range of such offers on aggregators:

• Travelata
• Level.Travel
• Onlinetours

According to tourists' reviews, there have been no cancellations yet - but keep in mind that this is the main risk of such "bypass" tours.

Beach holidays at the sea in Tunisia - rating of resorts

Tunisia in July will not be much different from June. Only the sun will add sparkle and, accordingly, the vouchers will rise in price. We have already described all the delights of the popular resorts of this country, and nevertheless, for hunters to pamper on the shore, we will add a "dossier":

• Hammamet - the most popular abode of tourists. For some, it's mostly hotel life, clear sea (especially in the Yasmine-Hammamet area, which is more suitable for families with children) and fruit. For others, relaxation here begins at nightfall, decorated with party and bar lights.
• Sousse is a horizontal relaxation combined with active evening entertainment in the form of discos and even carnivals. There is a water park, a water scooter, and scuba diving. And the modest check for relaxation in Sousse will also impress (all the details in the article by the link).
• Near Monastir shallow, to the deep sea to walk 20-25 meters, and then the boats are driven. But there is a minus, even two: water blooms and jellyfish attack. Plus: here for thalasso therapy, and hotels usually cost 25-40% lower than in Hammamet.
• IN Mahdia some of the best beaches and the sea (no seaweed in swimming trunks). There are still not so many Russians here, but Tunisians prefer to sunbathe in this resort - you must admit, this can be a kind of quality mark.
• Island in the Mediterranean Djerba popular with tourists. The snow-white sandy coast and olive groves will definitely brighten up a romantic trip.

Which one to choose - Turkey or Tunisia?

Let's just say, if you've already walked around and explored Turkey far and wide, it's time to change the scenery and fly to the country of coffee and spicy cuisine.

Despite the fact that a tour to Tunisia in July 2021 will cost significantly more than Turkey, the climate here is drier and there is no sweltering humidity, especially in early July.

Almost every more or less large city here is full of historical monuments, museums, temples and other points. In Hammamet, there are the Pupput ruins and Carthageland Park, and on Djerba, there is a flamingo lagoon and a crocodile farm. And in order to "intermarry" with the locals, be sure to check out the capital's Medina (a bustling Arab quarter with a market). By the way, here and for souvenirs.

And also Tunisia is replete with sightseeing tours. We have highlighted our top list:

• The title "must-see" belongs to a two-day safari or excursion "Sahara" in the southern part of the country. Here you will come face to face with the Roman amphitheater in El Jem, the city of the Berbers of Matmata and, in fact, with the desert itself.

  Two currencies are accepted as payment for excursions: the dollar and the Tunisian dinar (1 TND = 27 RUB)how convenient.
• The ruins of the thermae of Antonina Pius and the Capitol (once an amphitheater) of the "Carthage - Sidi Bou Said - Museum of Bardo" guide will cost $ 45, for little ones - $ 25 (prices are from).
• A trip to the city of Dugga will captivate those who are not indifferent to the history of the country during the Roman era. Check: $ 60 / $ 30, respectively.
• It is worth going to El Jem for a meeting with the Colosseum. From parents - $ 28, from children - $ 14.
• Excursions to the Phrygia Safari Park ($ 55 / $ 27) and Sea Walk ($ 25 / $ 15) will liven up your summer vacation.

Interested in entertainment? Please take it - I don’t want to. Diving is best found in the locations of Tabarka and Djerba. Free diving on the high seas costs $ 18 as standard. Tourists can ride a yacht and be carried away by fishing (for some, this is still the same excitement).

But the star of the program in Tunisia will be thalassotherapy (Charcot's shower, body wraps, massage). A complex of 4 procedures will cost a pretty penny ($ 100), but you can stop at just one. So, you can go to the hamam for only $ 3- $ 4.

Reviews of the trip to Tunisia in July

Let's not be cunning, Tunisia left diametrically opposite reviews in July. Someone comes back here for the third time for "high-quality, uninterrupted" sun, while someone is afraid of Tunisian jellyfish like fire (this is the question of whether it is possible to swim in July).

Judging by the impressions, we conclude that the African country is a kind of "mixture" of Turkey and Egypt. The sea there is "Turkish", and the hotels and furnishings (cities, houses, a small chaos on the streets) are almost Egyptian.
