La Marsa, Tunisia – A suite to remember

This was a first to remember!

I remember being a little girl and whenever we would stay at a hotel with my family, we (the kids) always wanted to go to the top floor “just to see” where the presidential suite or penthouse was located.  I remember the feeling going up the elevator and thinking, wow, this is exciting.  I would wonder who you needed to be to actually stay in these large rooms.  I thought only celebrities, royalty and presidents stayed in these rooms.

So when we were looking for places to stay on our recent trip to Tunisia, Kais wanted to surprise me and book something luxurious.  Well it did not disappoint, it was grand, traditional and oh so beautiful that you never wanted to leave.  When he said that he had negotiated (he always loves a good deal) the rooftop Presidential suite for one week, I was throughly excited!  It reminded me of my childhood.  My favourite part was that it had an outdoor pool opened 24 hours, the breakfast was served near our room, we were on the rooftop and the breakfast selection was absolutely delicious!

Traveling to Tunisia: Tozeur, the Mountain Oasis & Chebika

One of the things that Kais was very adament in showing me was the South of Tunisia, more specifically a part of their desert.  My only part was “yes” or “no” when he would ask me: “would you like to visit this or this?”  However, I kept having this feeling that maybe it would not be a great idea going knowing that I was pregnant.  After all, 38-40 degrees weather, honestly, this girl from the northern part of Canada was not great in handling very hot destinations….especially pregnant.  However, in the end I gave in to my curiosity and we drove 6 hours South of Sousse to the city of Tozeur.

What is interesting about Tunisia is you have different landscapes, while the North is colder and the East Coast borders the Sea, the South is where the desert lies.

Traveling to Tunisia: Monastir

Before meeting my partner Kais, whom is originally from Tunisia, I had never heard, let alone showed any interest in visiting this country.  Let’s be honest, it isn’t the most advertised country.  So for the next few blog posts, I wanted to let you discover through my photos more of this beautiful country.

Let me just start by saying that if you do not know anyone in Tunisia that can be your tour guide through the city or if you do not speak the language which is arabic (a tunisian dialect), then I would definitely recommend exploring this country with organized tours.  Thankfully, I had Kais who had family and friends giving us recommendations and renting a car made it incredibly easier for us to visit on our own.

Tunisia has little gems located throughout the country for tourist to discover it’s beauty.
