This north-African country which is also known as the ‘land of Pharaohs’ or the ‘land of pyramids’, has evolved as a favourite tourism hotspot over the years. While it still preserves its historic treasures as well-preserved as they should be, its world-class coral reefs ideal for scuba diving in the Red Sea and serene sails over the Nile add up to the real fun of a trip to Egypt. But a spectacle that steals the show in the country is the iconic Pyramids of Giza which are considered to be one of the dearest locations here. Apart from these, there are several temples and tombs, swathes of a blazing desert, the ancient cities of Luxor and Cairo and some absolutely amazing attractions like the southern town of Aswan and Siwa oasis. Don’t be disheartened if you are a beach baby as Egypt has got you covered too! Watch out for the awesomeness you will be accessible to as here, unlike the other paradisiacal beach destinations, you can combine the historic sightseeing along with the scuba diving to reefs and wrecks or lounging under the sun.

3. Tunisia:
Sitting as it is on the Mediterranean Sea, Tunisia is majorly regarded as a beach destination in North Africa. Since it has a long coastline that stretches for kilometres, Tunisia has some of the best beaches in the region with clear waters and shimmering sands along with options for various activities for the people to indulge in. And the best part is that Tunisia being a little underrated has the advantage of offering seclusion in abundance. While here, you should definitely hit the fantastic beaches of Djerba, Monastir, Sousse, Hammamet, Bizerte and Kelibia. Moving beyond the water-based adventure, Tunisia is also packed with ancient ruins, beautiful Muslim architecture along stunning cities and busy souks that are too good to miss. The sites not to miss here include the ancient Tunis Medina, Bardo National Museum, the UNESCO-listed Carthage, Roman amphitheatre of El Djem dwarf and more alike. Go a little offbeat and travel through the unspoiled white villages located along the coast, enjoy a private outing near the deserted coastline or take a walk in the barren lands of a salt pan. Whatever interests you, Tunisia will surely tick off most experiences on your North Africa Tour bucket list.
4. Algeria:
Despite being the biggest country in Africa, Algeria, another underrated gem in northern Africa doesn’t get the attention it deserves. This country is undoubtedly beautiful- the mishmash of a stunning 1200 km Mediterranean coastline, spectacular Roman architecture and lush green landscapes make it a destination worth visiting. Here, you will find a surprising mix of the best beaches, large swathes of desert and even the snow-topped mountains along with a dash of culture and art that make Algeria even more attractive. While here, you can explore the city of Algiers which is the capital of Algeria and a key tourist magnet.
