Tunisia

All the years, since 8 ages I travel whit my family (my mother, my father and my brother), to now different countries or places. One of the better travels that I have been was to Tunisia, 4 years ago.

The first feeling I have when I arrive was the high humidity of the country. Tunisia is a country of contrast, because you can be enjoying the beach, and also you can wake up in the desert. Also the appearance of the building is very different in each of these areas, since the former is more Western, while the south is less developed.

I was 6 days and visited the most typical towns and village of the country, like Hanmamet, a touristic, western and marine city. The most striking of these, were the women, when they are on the beach, since they carry a swimsuit that will clog the whole body. For us is very strange to see people on the beach covered.

Other city when I was is Tozeur, in the desert. Is like an oasis in the desert, full of palm trees. The people of these area is principally engaged in the collection of dates, and is impressive as scale the palms barefoot. I love the dates, since I ate it in Tunisia. Also I visited some Berber village, with their typically houses, and turbans hanging between the trees, giving a lot of color to the place. On the other hand, couldn`t visited Tunisia without camel riding, although it was a bad experience, because I almost fell from the camel!.

I visited Kairouan, the holy city of Tunisia. The mosque is impressive, has a great patio, and several rooms for prayer, and that women and men must be separated. It is a magical place, full of silence where you can hear the murmur of the prayer. Even the most beautiful city I visited was Sidi Bou Said, a town where all the houses are white with blue doors and windows, with the sea as background.

Other thing to note of Tunisia is her smell, because there are a lot of jasmine plants of the street, and women selling sprigs.

In conclusion, Tunisia is a country to visit, since it has many facets and different cities to show that make it a unique country.
