English courses in Tunisia

Steeped in history and filled with palm-fringed beaches, the small North African nation of Tunisia packs a big punch. It's not just a place loved by holiday-seekers – anyone wanting to take Arabic courses in Tunisia will fall head over heels too. Conquered by Phoenicians, Ottomans, Romans, Spanish, French, Germans, and Arabs, Tunisia is a melting pot of cultures, all of which have left their mark on the country. The capital city of Tunis has a fascinating medina, or old town, with an entangled web of souqs, mosques, streets and palaces. While Arabic flavors are king here, European dishes and pastries made here can be just as delicious. Outside the city limits, across Lake Tunis, rests the great Roman ruins of Carthage and a perfect starting point for Tunisian history. To see more picturesque parts of Tunisia, head south from the capital to the coastal area of Hammamet and Sousse. Flanked by rows of citrus groves and rolling green hills, the soft sand beaches remain supreme. Further south, the enchanting city of Mahdia has it all, from port to fort to ancient ruins. If the seaside views get mundane, the eastern desert provides an excellent alternative. Check out Douz and Touzeur to commence on a Berber experience, complete with camel ride, camping and nomadic culture. Or head north to verdant forests and lakes teeming with pink flamingos. Whether you prefer desert or beach, city or tent, attending Arabic school in Tunisia is a fulfilling and satisfying experience for all.
