- Discover the Roman-era hot springs at Hamman Mellegue and the space-age sets of Star Wars expanding your holiday in Tunisia to far more than just a beaches.
The best time to take any holidays in North Africa are from October to March, as temperatures can reach well above 100F in the summer months and become stiflingly hot even for sun lovers.
Tourism remains very low-key throughout much of the area (with the exceptions being Egypt and Morocco), t and holidays in North Africa are explorations of exotic lands. However, many of the coastal Mediterranean areas do provide a lively, beach resprt atmosphere for those who want the best of both worlds.
With our unparalleled range of choice and regional expertise, AITO operators can help you find and organise perfect holidays in North Africa, whenever and wherever you want to go.
