Family activities in Tunisia

If you’re in Tunisia’s number-one beach town Hammemet, admire the walls of its famous medina with a group horseback ride along its 10-kilometre stretch of golden sand, or opt for something a little different with a camel ride instead. That’s not the only place you can ride these authentic animals, thanks to the closeness of the Saharan sands there’s plenty of desert safari trips available. Here you and the kids can venture into the ginormous sand pit, taking in views of the Salt Lake of Chott El Jerid and pyramid-like sand dunes along the way.
