Taking account of this North African country's recent political and social flux, and covering each of the nation's 24 governorates, the book's listings for hotels, restaurants and activities cater for all types of travellers and budgets. Complemented by 80 detailed maps and advice on navigating bureaucracy, this guide provides all the practical information you need to visit or explore here. The birthplace of the Arab Spring in 2010, Tunisia is readily accessible from European cities. From relaxing on Mediterranean beaches to camel-trekking or quad-biking in the Sahara Desert and marvelling at the moonscapes of Chott el Djerid salt lake, this fascinating nation crams much excitement and interest into a small area. In the 2,000-year-old capital of Tunis, originally a Berber settlement, you can haggle in the ancient Medina, browse artefacts at the Bardo National Museum or enjoy fresh seafood at waterfront restaurants. Archaeology afficionados will hardly know where to begin in Africa's fourth-richest country for UNESCO World Heritage Sites: the remnants of Ancient Carthage, perhaps, or superbly preserved Roman ruins, such as the world's second-largest amphitheatre of El Jem?  Djerba, where Berbers, Muslims and the world's oldest Jewish community have co-existed for centuries, is a world-renowned kitesurfer's paradise. Sunseekers have over 1,000km of coastline on which to bask - why not sip cocktails at the upmarket resort of Gammarth, just north of Tunis - while hedonists can party at a mammoth 30-hour rave in the desert at Ong Jmal. Meanwhile, film buffs can make pilgrimages to sets used in the Star Wars movies or explore canyons used by Steven Spielberg' for an Indiana Jones film, and culture vultures can visit Islamic sites such as the Ribat of Monastir fort or 7th-century city of Kairouan.  With a language appendix covering Tunisian Arabic and French, detailed context that helps visitors travel with awareness and sensitivity, and in-depth travel information, Bradt's Tunisia is an indispensable practical companion to exploring this exciting country.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49519150563601,"sku":"GOR013600387","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49746494161169,"sku":"NGR9781784777517","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50784702431505,"sku":"GOR014070709","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51052251218193,"sku":"NIN9781784777517","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52188983165201,"sku":"CIN178477751XVG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53024518242577,"sku":"CIN178477751XG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/178477751X.jpg?v=1751378456"},{"product_id":"equatorial-guinea-book-oscar-scafidi-9781841629254","title":"Equatorial Guinea","description":"Equatorial Guinea Travel Guide - Holiday advice and travel tips including Malabo and Bioko island highlights and hotels, natural history, wildlife and birdwatching.

Paddling and carrying a forty-year-old collapsible wooden kayak, they embarked on a journey of 1,300km in support of The HALO Trust, the oldest and largest humanitarian landmine clearance organisation in the world.  Over thirty-two days the pair kayaked, hiked and waded towards the Atlantic Ocean, meeting a whole host of interesting people – from security forces, to diamond miners, to farmers and fishermen. Things didn’t always go smoothly. They were attacked by hippos and bitten by insects. They sank in rapids, picked up nasty injuries, and were arrested then threatened with deportation.  Oscar and Alfy’s expedition raised $25,000 for The HALO Trust. The documentary film they made of the journey was aired in film festivals in the UK, the USA, Canada, Australia and Cyprus, and their journey is currently being reviewed by Guinness World Records. This is the story of how they did it.  The author will be donating 25% of this book’s profits to The HALO Trust, to help make Angola landmine free by 2025.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50011810660625,"sku":"GOR010832463","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53445672632593,"sku":"GOR014923959","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1789650127.jpg?v=1750898148"},{"product_id":"kayak-the-mangoky-book-oscar-scafidi-9781919318707","title":"Kayak The Mangoky","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52859237466385,"sku":"NIN9781919318707","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781919318707.jpg?v=1765137148"},{"product_id":"angola-book-oscar-scafidi-9781804693599","title":"Angola","description":"The new fourth edition of Bradt's Angola remains the only dedicated, full-length English-language guide to this increasingly popular and now readily accessible southern African nation, which offers a heady combination of wildlife-rich rainforests, world-class surfing and beaches, remote deserts and richly diverse human culture.  Luanda is a capital of contrasts, offering everything from colonial Portuguese ruins to $100-a-plate sushi bars, a vibrant carnival to sophisticated nightclubs, and landscaped waterfronts to grand public buildings. Venture beyond the urban bustle, perhaps on the recently rehabilitated Benguela railway, and you can discover attractions ranging from frontier diamond towns to relaxed beach resorts, excellent sea-fishing to some of the world's most enthralling surfing (at Cabo Ledo).   The country's Atlantic coast stretches through landscapes as varied as tropical rainforest in the north and desert in the south, and includes over 1,000 km of unspoilt sands. In eight ever-improving national parks, large mammals lost to poaching are being reintroduced. African Parks-run Iona is the jewel in the crown, while Luando remains one of the only places left to spot the critically endangered giant sable antelope, Angola's national symbol.   Elsewhere, visitors can discover Africa's third-highest waterfall (Kalandula), numerous highly regarded birding spots and a rich human culture that binds together more than 40 ethnic identities. Unmissable attractions include the 20,000-year-old rock paintings at Tchitundo-Hulo, and M'banza Congo, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that was formerly the centre of power for the Kilukeni dynasty, who founded the stone city a century before the Portuguese colonisers arrived.  Across 19 chapters, Bradt's Angola offers full practical and background information, and incisive coverage of the whole country. This fourth edition has been thoroughly updated to reflect Angola's rapid rate of change, notably the reinvigoration of the tourist industry - including through a new international airport, lower flight costs, high-quality roads and now-straightforward visa processes - as a key plank in Angola's plan for economic diversity and sustainable development. Bradt's Angola is ideal for everyone keen to unveil the secrets of this vast, intriguing country - from surfers visiting independently to birdwatchers on organised tours, adventurous travellers to fishing enthusiasts, and overlanders to NGO workers.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":53143020372241,"sku":"NGR9781804693599","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781804693599.jpg?v=1771543438"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/de-ch\/collections\/autor-buecher-von-oscar-scafidi.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
