Mahdia, Tunisia Holiday Review
Submitted by: Brian
Date of travel: 01-June-2007
Mahdia has a perfect balance of a little bit of everything that you want from a holiday. There are hundreds of miles of clean beaches and some of the clearest waters you will ever see making water activities very enticing. There is a decent nightlife around the hotels where there are lots of bars and clubs. The food is quality I practically lived on Couscous while I was there, even though there where plenty of other great traditional dishes available to try. I would recommend that you try a little bit everything and not make the same mistake as I did.
