Tunisia Hotels

Tunisia's accommodation options range from basic hostelries surrounded by medieval ramparts to luxury beachside resorts that pamper guests at a fraction of the cost of Europe properties. Although not widespread, there are also a few uniquely Tunisian boutique hotels. Anything under $150 per night falls into the budget category, while on the high end, hotel rooms go for $250 and up.
