Editorial : Visit Tunisia - Fly from most UK main airports.

Monastir / Enfidha area enjoys a dry Mediterranean climate with hot summers, extremely mild winters, lots of sunshine and low rainfall year round. It is much hotter than the Mediterranean resorts on the European coast, but much milder than inland areas of Tunisia, forty percent of which is part of the Sahara. Summer, from June till September, is absolutely sweltering. If you spend too long outside you’ll find yourself melted to the spot or wilting in the shade. While humidity is low, the soaring heat can still be hard to handle. The average high temperature of 29°C in June skips past the 30°C mark in the middle of the month and climbs up to 33°C for July and August. The best time to visit is March to May. Spring sees a return of the warmth and the sun. The average high temperature climbs 19°C in March, to 22°C in April and 25°C in May. This is a great time to holiday in Hammamet, Port el Kantouai, Sousse and Skanes though spring nights can be cool, 10°C in March, 12°C in April, 15°C in May, and the sea does not get above 17°C till the end of the season. However, it is slightly drier than autumn.Check out Tunisia and with flying times from 2.5 to 3.5 hours from the UK it is just a short hop to a great holiday. We will be visiting this month.

Just an update on our planned educational trip. We need to learn more so that we can tell you more. Our stay will be at the Golf Residence Hotel in Port el Kantouai. This is a 3 star family hotel and with conflicting reports we need to know why. We will also visit several other 3 and 4 star hotels locally and we are there to check out some local experiences. Look out for our new editorial feature when we get back and all the changes we are making to the site to keep you better informed.
