Tunisia

While 40 percent of this North African nation is swathed in arid Sahara desert, the remainder is blanketed by fertile soil and hemmed in by over 600 miles of While 40 percent of this North African nation is swathed in arid SaharaMediterranean coastline. No wonder it garnered alot of (often unwanted) attention over the centuries from some of the world’s greatest civilizations. See what all the fuss was about next year, by visiting the ruins of the ancient Phoenician city of Carthage and historic sites like the coliseum at El Jem (arguably the finest example of its kind outside of Rome). When not taking in archaeological gems, you can relax and rejuvenate at one of several beach resorts; venture through the Sahara on camelback or 4x4; or opt to camp out in the desert in luxurious air-conditioned linen tents at properties like the Pansea Ksar Ghilane (www.pansea.com), which also boasts mirage-in-the-desert amenities like massage treatments, a swimming pool. Indeed, if there's one place on our list that packs the ultimate vacation into its borders – what with culture, beaches, adventure travel, and luxury camping – this is it.
