Arguably the Arab worlds most forward-looking state, Tunisia is the subject of a high-spending publicity campaign as its Tourist Board seeks to attract more foreign visitors to this lesser-known Mediterranean destination. Thoroughly revised and updated, Footprint Tunisia Handbook is packed with essential tips for enjoying a trip to the sun, sea, and sand capital of North Africa, along with stunning full-color photographs showing the countrys key features.

From the remote beaches of the northern coast to the dunes and oases of the deep south, the book suggests itineraries for finding hidden spots most tourists dont know about. It gives the complete lowdown on desert adventure excursions, from climatic conditions to transportation options. It also explores attractions beyond the beaches and dunes, from vibrant souks to spectacular Roman ruins.
