You may even find a few other water sports to take part in, such as surfing, windsurfing, kitesurfing, boating, canoeing, scuba diving, and snorkeling.

 

Amazing Weather

Tunisia is known for its fantastic weather. Therefore, you can be sure that you will experience a good deal of sunny days while you are there.  You can expect a Mediterranean atmosphere in the northern mountainous territory with mild, rainy winters and hot, dry summers. The southern section has a hot, arid, and semiarid environment while the eastern coastal border has barren weather.

Golfing in Tunisia is a great experience. But you can encounter much more while there. You may want to experience some of the other sights. Tunisia is full of natural beauty, culture, and architecture.   Go on a hot air balloon ride, visit the Ruins of Carthage, explore one of the many museums of Tunisia, or go to Old Medina in Tunis.
