My Dream Vacation Place Tunisia hotels

There are no shortage of temples and ruins to visit in Malta, and there's plenty of World Heritage sites in Tunisia. Some of the highlights of Tunisia are Kairouan, Medina of Sousse, and Dougga/Thugga. Be sure to book accommodation before you go, as there are plenty of Tunisia hotels available.

There's plenty to do in Tunisia, such as a trip to the well-known site of Carthage. The site of Carthage was founded in 814 BC and was the hub of trading throughout the Mediterranean. Romans decimated Carthage in 146 BC and built their own new civilisation over the remains of the old one. The Amphitheatre of El Jem is another must-see; they are beautiful ruins of the 3rd century amphitheatre, superbly showcasing the power of Imperial Rome.

Ichekul National Park is a World Heritage Site, and consists of Lake Ichkeul and Jebel Ichkeul mountains. Many birds migrate over here from Europe during the colder months, including geese, storks, and flamingos. You may even spot a mongoose, jackal, water buffalo, or porcupine on one of the park's many hiking trails. The remains of the Punic Town of Kerkouane and its Necropolis are also well worth a visit and are relatively fascinating, if for no other reason than they shed a light on surprisingly advanced notions of town planning. There are also lots of excellent all inclusive hotels in the area, which offer an excellent option after a long day of sightseeing.

If you're interested in religion, Tas Silq might be an interesting trip for you. Its last known use was as an Arab mosque back in the 9th century. Before being used as a place of worship for the goddess of fertility, it was a temple for goddesses in the megalithic phase. It was also used by the Romans to worship the goddess of Juno, before this it was used as a shrine of Astarte-Tanit by the neo-Punic natives. Consider a trip to one of these sites from your local Malta hotels.
