Tunisia is a beautiful country, with many lovely people. Many British tourists visit Tunisia every year
for the sunshine and the beaches, but there is a lot more to the country than summer sunshine.
We travel to the heart of the country, an area visited mainly by back-packers and 4x4 drivers
that go for the scenery and to meet the people that live in the towns and villages those
who live in the areas that have not developed as the rich tourist areas have.
These people still live the simple life, they still herd goats and sheep, the
children do go to school and they live in simple houses. Many houses
have only cold running water, hot water has to be heated in a pot
over the fire, sanitation is basic, but adequate, and daily life
is very much preparing for the next day. None of the
people that I know from these areas class themselves
as poor, they are very pleased with what they have.

Hello, and welcome to 4x4-travel.co.uk. This is my own website about the travels of my family and I.
I started the site following our first rip to Tunisia from December 2004 to January 2005 as a way
of recording our experience, for both my enjoyment and to encourage others that would
like to travel, to do so, hopefully you will find some inspiration from our experiences.
At the time of starting this site we never considered that we would return to
Tunisia the following year, due to the cost of the first trip, however, this Is
no longer a major issue as with research we have managed to reduce
the cost to no more than any other family holiday for four people.

Inside you will find a photo gallery of some of my favourite
pictures, a page of links with other sites that will help
you with planning your own trip and reports of our
own trips to date, a forum where you can share
your info or ask questions and lots more.
