To Tunisia with a 2 year old child. Holidays in Tunisia with a child - reviews from tourists, features and interesting facts. What you need to know when going on holiday to Tunisia
Tunisia is a great place to holiday with children. It has everything you need to have a great vacation. Parents were able to relax as much as possible and the children, captivated by what was around them, did not distract their fathers and mothers much.
Advantages of holidays with children in Tunisia.
1. The flight takes only 4 hours. Any child, even the most capricious and restless, can withstand such travel time.
2. No visa. To visit Tunisia there is no need to collect a package of documents, this can be especially tedious when traveling with children, but here you do not need to spend a lot of time collecting and copying documents. A visa is not required for tourists to this country.
3. Wonderful sandy beaches with good access to the water. Any parent will agree that the quality of the beaches is very important when you go to the sea with your children. In Tunisia, what resort town doesn’t have excellent beaches with sand from which you can easily sculpt castles and build Easter cakes.
4. All inclusive meal plan. Most hotels offer this concept to their guests. Undoubtedly, this type of nutrition is very suitable for children.
5. Availability of children's infrastructure in hotels. Of course, you shouldn’t expect the same huge infrastructure for children as in Turkish hotels; few can compete with it. However, many hotels in Tunisia offer their little guests: a playground, water slides, animation, babysitting services, children's menus, children's pools.
6. Attractive prices for tours. Go with the whole family for two weeks in the middle of summer season It can be quite expensive, especially if there are two or three children flying. Türkiye Lately raised prices for its services very high, and Egypt, with its turbulent situation in the country, is also not the best the best option. Tunisia is accessible to any budget; you can fly here for very little money.
7. Availability of entertainment for children outside hotels. Tunisia has several water parks, amusement parks with attractions, and zoos. Also, if the child is over 8 years old, you can take him with you on an excursion to the Sahara Desert. Also, the country is rich in exotic animals; camel riding and close acquaintance with ostriches will not leave any child indifferent.
8. The locals love children very much.
9. Mediterranean Sea. Who knows, this is one of those seas that has practically no underwater cold currents. The water here heats up very quickly, which is ideal for swimming with children of any age.

Disadvantages of holidays with children in Tunisia.
1. Specific food, both in hotels and outside. You will probably face a small problem with what to feed your baby. Not all children's tummies are ready to handle local food. Tunisians like to add a lot of spices to their dishes, which even adults are not ready to digest, so it is better to choose a hotel that has a children's menu.
2. Poor quality of local water. There is a similar problem in Egypt. You need to monitor your child and not let him drink tap water, and also avoid drinks where ice was thrown. Otherwise, you can catch some kind of intestinal virus.
3. Lack of juices as such. In Tunisia it is difficult to find regular packaged juices, they are all usually powder type- Jupi. Therefore, it is better to take a couple of bags with you if the child is used to them. I would not recommend giving the local chemical mixture to children.
The best time to visit Tunisia with children is June and July. It gets very hot in August, don't forget that this is Africa. But, whenever you go here on vacation, be sure to remember that the sun in Tunisia is very active, a hat and sunscreen should be best friends for your child, otherwise you can get burned in an instant without noticing it.

A quarter to a third of the items on the buffet will be spicy. You will have to try the dishes yourself before giving them to your child.
Dairy products in Tunisia
Milk in Tunisia is no different from Russian. Milk is almost always on the buffet, and you can buy it in stores. By the way, milk in Tunisia is even cheaper than in Russia.
But dairy products in Tunisia are very different from ours. For the taste of most tourists, Tunisian yoghurts, cottage cheese and cheese are not very edible. Here other enzymes are used to produce fermented milk products.
If you are flying to Tunisia with a very small child, then you must take dairy food, because milk is an important source of calcium, a guarantee good growth bones, joints and teeth of the baby.
There is no point in taking children's kefir and curds with you; they will simply go bad while waiting for the flight, the flight and the trip to the hotel. We talked about the flight time in the “” review, and the transfer time to the hotels was given in the “” article.
In addition, hotel mini-fridges are chronically faulty. In Tunisia there is a big problem with repair of all equipment.
There are alternatives to perishable cottage cheese and kefir. Firstly, this is fresh milk in Tunisia or “long-lasting” children’s milk from Russia (). The second option is a mixture of puree with cottage cheese () or cream ().
Baby food
For a long time there was no baby food in Tunisia, but everything more women they work and have no time to cook. Over the past 5 years, the baby food market in Tunisia has been growing at a tremendous pace.
Now (note: this article was published in 2018) baby food is on the shelves in big stores, but not in all. That is, we cannot guarantee that there will be a supermarket at your holiday resort. In addition, Tunisian or French baby food may be suitable for small child unusual.
For these reasons, we currently recommend taking full set baby food with you from Russia. You need about 1 kg per day, that is, for a 7-day vacation you need to take 7 kg of weight. Typically, on flights, you can take 23 kg as luggage per person. Agree, allocating 7 kilograms in luggage is a meager price to pay for the baby’s health.
By the way, the weight of baby food can be reduced. Do not take puree in a glass container, take it in soft packaging (see photo next to it, click on photo to enlarge), the weight is clearly less. Vegetable purees in soft packaging are rare, but you can find them (if you want to).
Meat purees are almost always sold in glass jars, but they are also found in tin jars, for example, under the Tyoma brand (). A metal can weighs less and will not break.
At the factory, dry cereals are packed into bags, and then into carton boxes. Throw away boxes, take only bags with you, this will save space in your suitcases.

For some parents, the idea of traveling with their child to a sultry African country for a vacation will seem crazy. “There’s no baby food there, they have no idea what diapers are!” - they will exclaim. But all these fears are generated by myths about the elitism of Europe and the “underdevelopment” of countries on other continents. In this article we will try to cover as fully as possible a holiday in Tunisia with a child. Reviews from parents who were not afraid to travel to this African country with their child served as an information base for us. Which resort should you choose for your holiday? Are there any hotels in Tunisia that specialize in welcoming young and very young travelers? When is the best time to travel to this country? What to do with your child when he gets bored with the beach and sea? We will try to answer these questions in our article.
Pros and cons of Tunisia
The absence of visas for short-term stays, a short flight, kilometers of wide sandy beaches, a long holiday season - all this makes the country in northwest Africa very attractive for family holidays. But, if we compare Tunisia with such leaders in the tourism industry as Egypt and Turkey, then this state has some disadvantages. The Mediterranean Sea off the coast of northwestern Africa, although warm, is not abundant in species of underwater inhabitants. Divers may find it boring there. And turbulent waters often throw algae ashore. Egypt with its Red Sea is far ahead of Turkey and Tunisia. The latter country is taking its first steps in the tourism business. There are fewer hotels with children's animation in Tunisia than in Turkey. But nothing compares to the amazing Barbary exotica. It is present everywhere in Tunisia. And this is why the country’s resorts are so different from the impersonal Turkish and Egyptian Antalya and Marmaris, Hurghada and Sharm el-Sheikh.
When to go to Tunisia with a child?
The climate of this country is similar to the Anatolian Riviera in Turkey. Therefore, the beach season there lasts from April to November. But this is for adults. The deep Mediterranean Sea is still cold in April, and seasoned people dare to dive into its waters. In November the water remains warm, but the mornings and evenings are quite fresh. And the winds - a sign of the approaching winter - begin to chill to the bones. In July-August, it is in principle possible to travel to Tunisia with a small child. Reviews claim that the sea warms up to temperatures that are very comfortable for a child’s delicate body - +26-28 degrees. But in the summer months, tourists recommend bringing your child to the beach in the morning and evening. The period from eleven to sixteen hours should be spent, if not in an air-conditioned room, then at least in deep shade. But if you want your baby to splash around in the sea to his heart’s content and be able to freely build sand castles from morning to evening, then you need to wisely choose the time when to go on vacation with your child to Tunisia. The best time for children the periods are from May to mid-June and September-October. But even then, do not forget to use sunscreen with a high SPF level at home.
Choosing a resort
A place to relax is of paramount importance. In Tunisia, unlike Turkey, there are no youth resorts or quiet seaside villages intended exclusively for families with children. In every town of this African country you can find hotels that specialize in welcoming young tourists. Reviews about holidays in Tunisia with children recommend choosing a resort based on the time of vacation and the age of the child. For example, if your child is still too young to be interested in excursions, go to Djerba. This island is the warmest place in Tunisia. You can bathe your child in the sea here from the second half of April. Clean sand and smooth entry into the water are also available in Mahdia. But if your child has grown up, is no longer satisfied with sculpting Easter cakes from sand and craves other entertainment, do not take him to resorts such as Nabeul, Tabarka or Gammarth. There is absolutely no entertainment for children outside of hotels.
How to choose a hotel for families with children in Tunisia?
Hotels in this country have long mastered “narrow specialization.” And if there are no “children’s” resorts in Tunisia, then there are hotels for family holidays. But when choosing a hotel based on this parameter, you should clarify several important points. Firstly, the mini club. They are available in all hotels that specialize in children's holidays. But Tunisia is a favorite holiday destination for the French, British, Germans and Dutch. Therefore, some mini-clubs will not accept a child if he does not speak English or another European language. And the nannies in such hotels do not speak Russian.
Other mini-clubs have a strict age limit, and you will be forced to take care of your three-year-old or 13-year-old yourself. But there is a choice: you need to contact Russian tour operators that cooperate with hotels in Tunisia. For families with children (reviews mention this more than once), such hotels attract Russian-speaking teachers and animators. You should also make sure that the hotel has a large green area with a shallow pool. It would also be nice to have well-shaded playgrounds. You should not choose a city hotel on the third or fourth line, so that trips to the sea do not turn into complete torture for your child.
Tunisia, holidays with children, best hotels: reviews
Particularly scrupulous parents who do not trust African exotica should think about booking a chain hotel. In this case, you always know what level of hotel services awaits you. Of the five-star hotels, reviews recommend the Iberostar Royal, which is located in Mansoura. This hotel even has a children's menu, which is rare in Tunisia. Of the “fours”, “Palm Azur 4” is ahead of all. This hotel specializes in children's holidays. Not only that: it has Russian-speaking animators in the mini-club. Reviews claim that the All Inclusive system at this hotel provides excellent food. Freshly squeezed fruit juices are served for breakfast. Palm Azur 4 has a large area with a well-shaded garden. What should those tourists do who cannot afford a five- or four-star holiday in Tunisia with a child? Reviews recommend choosing the Dar Khayam hotel. Guests of this three-star hotel are allowed to use the entire infrastructure of the neighboring, more expensive one. "Dar Khayyam" is located on the first line from the sea and has a very good and clean beach, which is praised by many tourists. There are three swimming pools on the perfectly landscaped hotel grounds. It works according to the All Inclusive system.
Nutrition
There is no need to worry about this point when going on holiday in Tunisia with a child. Reviews claim that National cuisine This country is replete with fruits and desserts. Main courses can be spicy for a child's delicate stomach. But in hotels in Tunisia, which have long been accepting tourists with children from Western Europe, ready to serve boiled rice for the little guests, mashed potatoes, pasta, chicken breast or fish fillet. Even in three-star hotels you can choose dishes for your child. For breakfast they serve pancakes, yoghurt and muesli. If your child is very young, you should not take a bunch of jars of baby food with you on the road. Pharmacies in Tunisia sell local or French analogues, which are many times higher in quality than Russian ones.
Entertainment for children. Hammamet
Every parent wants to make their holiday in Tunisia with their child more emotional. Reviews assure that Hammamet has plenty of such entertainment for both schoolchildren and very young children. You can plunge into the atmosphere of ancient Carthage and at the same time ride 18 water slides at the Carthage Land water park. This place has a worthy competitor. Flipper Water Park has 13 adult and six children's water attractions. At the Friger Park Zoo, visitors will see various animals that seem to have stepped out of the pages of the fairy tale about Doctor Aibolit. And then you can go to the children's amusement park "Fabiland". There is also a skating rink with real ice in Hammamet.
From all countries African continent Tunisia is best suited for holidays with children of all ages. Kids will love the white sand and wide beaches, older children will love the local water parks and boat trips. pirate ships. Well, it will be very interesting for teenagers who will be interested in riding camels, quad bikes and visiting the Sahara. And for parents, the main advantage is that the trip is budget-friendly.
The low cost of tours here is determined by two factors: the low level of prices (and living) in the country and the hot climate, thanks to which it is best to vacation here not during the peak season, but at its beginning and in the fall. But let's talk about everything in order.
Best time to travel with children
You can go to a Muslim country, whose territory has a subtropical Mediterranean climate in the north and a desert climate in the south, at any time of the year, but it is better to relax with children from mid-September to late October And at the end of June.
At this time, the air temperature is no longer as high as in July-August, when it becomes unbearably hot. The water at the resorts warms up quite slowly, but by the end of June it reaches a comfortable level of +23°C. At this time, you can not only sunbathe, but also comfortably travel around the country, sightseeing.
Air temperature by month At the height of summer (July-August), the country finds itself at the mercy of the desert, which brings hot air masses. heat that does not pass even at night. These months are not recommended for traveling around Tunisia, especially for visiting the desert, and especially with children.
Water temperature Winter months and the end of autumn is chosen for health improvement - after all, Tunisia is famous for its balneological resorts and thalassotherapy centers. They are open all year round, however, in the off-season less people and prices are lower.
What to look for when choosing a resort
A lot depends on the age of the child and his interests.
Hammamet Perfect for active school-aged children. There is all the necessary infrastructure for children's entertainment, which includes attractions and water parks. In addition, leading thalassotherapy centers are located here, which will appeal to parents.
Sousse although it is considered a “noisy and party” place, it is nevertheless in demand among family tourists due to its more low prices. Wonderful beaches and interesting attractions allow it to compete with Hammamet, but in terms of entertainment this resort is noticeably inferior.
Monastir choose for a quiet and relaxing holiday with babies. Despite the fact that there is an international airport here, the resort lives a measured life and the entertainment here is the same. The southern analogue of this resort will be Mahdia.
Djerba Island It has a warmer climate, so it is often chosen for a beach holiday. If you and your child are interested in the beach and the sea, then you can choose a good hotel with developed children's infrastructure and enjoy your vacation.
Beaches of Tunisia: what are they like?
As our survey showed, the presence of a sandy beach and a gentle entrance to the sea are the main criteria for parents when choosing a resort. In this regard, Tunisia stands out favorably against its competitors.
All beaches in the country are sandy. The widest strip of sand is distinguished by Hammamet beaches, from 50 to 100 m. There are only two of them: the beach of old Hammamet and Yasmina beach. The sand here is fine and the descent into the water is smooth, which is very convenient for children. Both are equipped with changing cabins, toilets and sun loungers. While children make sand cakes on the beach, adults can ride a camel, ride a jet ski, go water skiing or windsurf.
Before those who choose to relax Sousse There is a choice of 4 beaches:
- wide white sand Bu Jafar
- narrower Las Vegas
- Long Port El Kantaoui
- and practically undeveloped in the port of Sousse.
The first two are popular with families with children due to the full range of services provided, unlike the latter, where there are not even sun loungers and umbrellas. In addition, during the season the beaches are not ideally clean.
And in Monastir There are 10 beaches, but only a few are suitable for families with children. The best of them is the central beach - Kariaa, which is not so wide - only 20 m, but stretches for 700 m. It is very clean and has a smooth descent into the water, in addition, it is distinguished by a calm sea without waves, so children can safely splash around the shore. Here you can rent sun loungers and umbrellas. In addition, kids should enjoy Eddhill, Skines and Marina Beach.
Considered one of the best in Tunisia Mahdia beach. This is a 10 km long beach with white sand, numerous cafes and water activities. It is ideal for children due to its gradual decrease in depth and calm sea.
Those who choose to live on the island of Djerba will not regret it either. In the northeast there is the best Lalla Hadria beach, in the west of the island there are Sidi Mahrez, Sidi Jimour and Seguia, which also have everything you need for a children's holiday.
Where to go with a child in the resorts of Tunisia
Not the last point when choosing a resort for families with children will be the entertainment infrastructure. Holidays with children involve fun leisure. What to do at the resorts, besides visiting the beaches and sightseeing, which restless children do not always like?
Children's club on site
Waterpark CarthageLand near Sousse
Tourists who choose Hammamet will not have to think long about the entertainment program. At their service:
- Phrygia Zoo, where exotic predators live in their natural environment, and there is also a dolphinarium
- amusement park "Carthage Land".
- Those who are not yet tired of water can spend time at the Flippers water park.
Fans of active recreation will find something to their liking: golf, horse riding, ice skating or paintball.
It won't be boring in Sousse either. Here the kids are waiting:
- Children's amusement park and botanical garden
- aquapark
- "House of Ice Cream"
- horse shows and entertainment center with rides and karting 25 km from the city
- the laser show offered here is considered the best in the world.
- Not forgotten either leisure: golf, bowling and much more.
Those staying in Monastir will also find something to do. Tourists here will find an amusement park and karting, a riding school, diving and golf courses of international level.
It will be less interesting in Mahdia, where, apart from beach activities and ATV rides, there is almost nothing to surprise guests.
But about. In addition to traditional diving and golf, Djerba offers you to visit a crocodile farm or be transported to the Star Wars movie, ending up in the village of Ajim. The Djerba Explore theme park invites you to get acquainted with the Ibadi culture.
What to consider when choosing a hotel
Hotels in Tunisia meet the international classification, so there will be no surprises for tourists here. For family accommodation, it is better to choose large hotels from 4* and above, since you will spend most of your time on the hotel premises. Due to the crisis that came after the war and the terrorist attacks of 2015, many hotel chains were forced to leave the market, which is why there is now a certain shortage of quality hotels. But each of the resorts still has its own decent accommodation options.
Most resort hotels are located on the seashore and have sufficient territory. Of course, we are not talking about the most budget ones, but even ordinary 3rd category hotels have a swimming pool, a children's playground and a garden.
Tunisian hotels typically have boarding-type meals (breakfast and dinner). Does not use the all-inclusive system special demand. Such wide choice There is no public catering, as in Spain or Greece, in Tunisia, so we still recommend choosing a hotel with 2-3 meals a day. Since it is undesirable to look for acceptable options outside the hotel territory.
In addition to playgrounds and children's pools, many hotels have mini-clubs where children can study all day long. If you plan to leave your child in such a “kindergarten”, it is worth checking whether there are Russian-speaking staff. Almost all hotels provide babysitting services, but often they do not speak Russian, so be sure in advance.
