Port El Kantaoui is a purpose built Holiday Resort on the Northern Coast of Tunisia in North Africa. It is situated just a few kilometres North of Sousse, Tunisia's second largest City after the Capital Tunis.
It was built in 1979 with a modern 300 Yacht capacity Marina as its focal point. In recent years this Marina has become a popular mooring location for the rich and famous undertaking their Mediterranean Cruises and the Marina here is said to rival those long established Marinas of Nice and Marbella on the Southern Coast of Europe. It is now also Tunisia's most popular Holiday Resort.
I stayed in Port El Kantaoui between the 2nd and 9th July 2006 and found the experience to be a rather interesting one. Since it was my first visit to Tunisia I was a little unsure of what to expect and as my Holiday approached I began to hear ...

This review is about my holiday at the El Paso Hotel, Port Aventura, Spain in October 2008.
My holiday was booked through First Choice Holidays and for my husband, myself and our 12 year old son for a weeks half board stay with unlimited access to the park, the cost, including flights and transfers was £1200.

If you have ever been to Disneyland at Halloween - Port Aventura do it ...
Advantages: lots to do Disadvantages: comes alive more by sunset
While in Marrakech, I stuck to my top 10 guide as everyone seemed to have this book on them but it was definitely necessary as I wasn't sure of major attractions here. One of the main things listed to see if of course the Djemaa El Fna which translates to Assembly of the Dead. It is almost like the town centre as it is the main square where all of the things happen. In the day time this square is not the best place to be as there is no shade with it being a wide open square with the Moroccan sun hitting down on it.
The square is where a lot of locals come as well as a lot of tourists. In the daytime the main things you will come across here are the orange juice stalls which is one of the unusual things about Marrakech they charge about 5 Dirham's a glass which is if you're lucky 50p but it is freshly squeezed and in the heat there is ...
