Tunisia - Neil Wilson

"The Berlitz Pocket Guide to Tunisia" focuses on Tunis, the north coast, the Cap Bon Peninsula, Sahel, Djerba and Southern Tunisia. It covers all the main sights, area by area, in an easily navigable format. Descriptions of tourist attractions include Tunis' kasbah, the holy city of Kairouan, Roman and Carthage ruins, fascinating Ksar villages, as well as the sand dunes and oasis towns of the Sahara and coastal resorts of Hammamet, Sousse and Monastir. Background historical information, advice on shopping and entertainment and the low-down on eating out is all included in this fact-packed book. There is an A-Z of practical information, listings of recommended hotels and restaurants and useful expressions in French. You can read features on a variety of topics, from Roman gladiators to the art of perfumery and oases to the pirates of the Barbary Coast. Maps show Northern and Southern Tunisia and Tunis, and there are dozens of full-colour photographs throughout.
