Where would you rather be, locked inside watching TV and waiting for the rain to end, or outside sailing, surfing, golfing in 20C sunshine?

Well with Tunisa only 3 hours from London it is now easier to reach than a trip to say the Lake District.

Tunisia has so much to offer, a warm mediterranean hospitality with a touch of urban sophistication. There is something for all the family.

For the Sport enthusiasts there are several golf courses close at hand. You can visit the school of windsurfing and sailing at the port of Sidi Bou Said, 12km from Tunis.

Chic boutiques, top notch restaurants and designer stores line the promenades of Tunis and create an exclusive, cosmopolitan atmosphere which would not be out of place in the most exclusive cities of Europe.

For the kids there are many attractions including the 36 hectare Friguia animal park just off the From Sousse to Tunis motorway, home to over 500 animals from 60 different species.

And for everyone there is of course the endless pristine sandy beaches.
