Top Tunisian Getaways: Dar el Said – Hot Toddies Unlimited

Tunisia.

The name alone conjures up dreamy images of endless swathes of soft golden sand, sparkling blue seas, soaring temples and magnificent historic ruins.

Many holidaymakers head straight for the likes of Skanes or Port El Kantaoui for a reassuring blend of sizzling sunshine, fantastic beaches and top-notch all inclusive hotels. But if you fancy somewhere a little different, why not try Dar el Said holidays?

This lovely resort is part of the Sousse Governorate, a sun-baked coastal province in North-Eastern Tunisia with the lively city of Sousse as its capital. Thanks to
its position on the coast, holidays to Dar el Said have a distinctly Mediterranean flavour – complete with azure seas, soft silky sands and magnificent scenery – yet are steeped in local Tunisian traditions.

Enjoya rich cultural heritage, a warm welcome and plenty of delicious local fare. Tuck into hearty stews, spicy sausages and fresh zingy salads, all washed down with a glass of locally-produce wine or followed up with a powerful espresso. A trip to Dar el Said is certainly not your average vacation to Greece, and that’s what makes this resort so special. You won’t find hoards of sun-seekers or crowded beaches, and most visitors come here to experience a quiet getaway, to dip their toes into Tunisian culture or get out to explore the lesser-known side of this fascinating country.

But despite this, getting here is still pretty easy – thanks to the various tour operators that make it their business to introduce tourists to new and exciting locations. You can find and book holidays here as part of a package holiday which takes the stress out of organising your own flights, accommodation and local transfers. With most packages you’ll also get the added benefit of a nearby representative, who can offer advice and provide details of trips or excursions to help you get the most out of your holiday.

Enjoy!
