Holidays in Mahdia (Tunisia): tours from Almaty

we went to Mahdia and it was the best desicion! the sea is warm, not too many people and the hotel food was such that I gained a couple extra kilos but at least I tried everything from squid to local flatbreads they bake right in front of you and there was also a cat that slept on a sun lounger and wasn't afraid of anyone anyway I came back happy and even miss the morning coffee on the terrace a bit.

I went to the agency just to pick out a tour for the May holidays, and in the end I took Tunisia, in Mahdia. I was flying with a child, so I was afraid it would be hard, but everything went smoothly: check-in was fast, the sea is warm, and even the hairdryer in the room worked, though I brought my own just in case (it stayed in the suitcase the whole time). I came back tanned, happy and already thinking, maybe I should head back there in the autumn.

took a tour to mahdia because i just needed to get away from work somewhere, and the travel agency happened to be on my way home and this destination was just hanging there... so i decided i had nothing to lose. the hotel was okay, food was decent, though i ate like six local flatbreads on the first day and then walked around all evening like a boiled potato) fish was fresh but the coffee at the bar is just awful, i only drank it in the morning and even then forced myself. on the beach the sand is fine like flour, nice to walk on barefoot, and in the evening when everything quiets down i'd go out to the water and sit there until the mosquitoes started biting . came back tanned and happy, even though at home it's all the same again

The trip turned out fine, but with nuances. The manager promised a hotel by the sea and didn't lie, only the balcony faced the neighboring wall, but the water was close — two steps and you're in the waves, and that really saved it. Came back happy, even though the return transfer was delayed by an hour and I had to pass the time with local coffee that smelled of cardamom.

took a tour to Tunisia, Mahdia. hotel was ok, but the AC hummed like a tractor at night. food was decent, though after three days I got tired of fish. sea was clean, I went in the mornings before the heat hit. took a separate excursion to Carthage.. waited forty minutes for the bus in the sun, that's a minus. but the city really impressed me, those old stones, columns, I even touched one. came back tired but happy. still a four.

I'll say right away: I went to Mahdia through an agency and almost didn't regret it. The hotel is decent, the sea is clean, but I had to grab a lounger by the pool early in the morning, otherwise it's all taken by the Germans. Overall for the money it's a great option, I'd come back again, only I'd take a room farther from the elevator.

Іске байланысты бір апта бос уақыт тауып, дәл сол кезде Туниске, Махдияға баруды шештім, өйткені теңіз де, дәмді тағам да, бағасы да көңілімнен шықты. Жергілікті базардан сатып алған зәйтүн майы мен құрма әлі күнге дейін үйде тұр, ал жағажайдағы бір кішкентай кофеханада ішкен кофенің дәмі есімде қалыпты. Қайтарда чемоданым ауыр болып қалғанын қоспағанда, демалыс өте жақсы өтті, бес балл қоямын.

went to Tunisia on a whim, actually I was flying to Moscow for work, but a friend sent me a link to an agency and I went in just to have a look, and came out with a booking for Mahdia. I was choosing between Egypt and Turkey to be honest, but there everything somehow came out expensive for my dates, and here there's the sea, and a decent hotel, and seems not too crowded... Warm sea in July is a whole other story — the water is like fresh milk, I didn't get out of it for hours, though usually I cool off to swimming quickly. The food. They fed us fine, but those flatbreads of theirs at breakfast I just didn't get, they seem fresh but taste like paper, though the local dates are really sweet, I grabbed a kilo to take home, ate half of it back in the room. The staff at the hotel are friendly, though a couple of people looked at me like I owed them something, well whatever, that's small stuff compared to everything else. . We walked around the old town, there are narrow streets and someone was constantly offering to buy ceramics or spices, I fell for a painted plate, now it stands in the kitchen and reminds me. I came back burnt but crazy happy and already thinking where to head next autumn, though I still need to save up money of course

Nuzhen byl otpusk posle sdelki, a biuro popalos po puti, tuda i obraschalsya za Tunnis, Mahdia, hotel nebolshoy. Tur vybral potomu chto deshevo i more ryadom, uspel do otbora bumag, potom dolgo zhdal samolyot v gazete chital. Vse norm, more teploe, shtorm ne byl, vernulsya i postavil by 5 iz 5.

Went to Mahdia and I still remember the smell of jasmine at the hotel entrance, though the building itself, honestly, is a bit shabby. Liked everything — the sea warm like fresh milk, they fed us till we couldn't move, and one time I sat on the pier half the night, just listening to the water hitting the concrete, and even the mosquitoes didn't bother me — came back tanned and happy, five stars.

booked through an agency in Almaty, price was ok, hotel in Mahdia simple but sea nearby. The manager got everything done fast in half an hour, no running around. food was samey to be honest, but staff friendly and wifi worked even by the pool. came back tanned, happy, four stars

treated myself to a last-minute package because everything at work turned upside down and I urgently needed to put my two weeks of vacation somewhere. I needed Tunisia specifically Mahdia, didn't consider anything else — wanted the sea, but without the crowds and without five hours on a bus from the airport. The manager sorted everything out in one evening, even managed to warn me about the visa (though what visa, it was all inclusive). The hotel is decent, though the air conditioner rattled like a tractor and I had to turn it off at night... slept with the balcony open, but at least I could hear the sea, it was worth it. They fed us rice and fish, I'm used to that, but my wife would definitely have grumbled that there's no proper buckwheat. . went to the market for olive soap and ceramics, haggled for pennies, didn't even understand how and more importantly why I ended up with so much soap. The staff at the hotel are calm, don't push animation every five minutes and that's a huge plus. Came back tanned, angry that the vacation is over and with a firm intention to come back here again in a year

The trip to Mahdia turned out exactly what was needed, the sea from the balcony, warm wind, seagull cries in the mornings, went to the market for olives and accidentally bought a ceramic bowl with a camel there, though I didn't seem to need a camel... but they took away a bottle of olive oil from me at the airport security because of some milliliters, and my friend still laughs that I carry souvenirs home in my belly

the trip to Mahdia turned out great, the hotel was right by the sea, every evening i walked along the water's edge, collected shells - small, sharp, one even cut my finger, but at home now they sit in a jar on the shelf. The manager arranged everything quickly, without the hassle, and got a convenient transfer, though on the first day i got a little lost in the hotel looking for my building. the food in the restaurant is ok, though the coffee in the mornings is a bit watery, but that's minor, the sun, the air and all that stuff more than makes up for it

took the tour in almaty, price is normal. hotel right by the sea, went out in the morning – water freezing, but in an hour it's fine, swam for a long time. food was monotonous, but the flatbreads are hot and honey in comb, never seen that before. took the sahara excursion separately, the bus shook so hard my teeth were chattering.. dunes are of course something else, but the funniest part – a camel licked my hand, walked around all slobbery after that. in mahdia the town is tiny, a couple of streets and a market where they foisted some ceramics on me, put it on a shelf at home, it's sitting there. the hotel staff are pushy, every evening the same thing – come to the show, I brushed them off as best I could. overall the trip was great, would go back once more

went to Mahdia because I wanted to close the gestalt with the sea before that hell at work starts, booked everything through an agency in Almaty, the manager picked a hotel almost blind based on my budget and didn't miss, though honestly I doubted until the very end. The flight is long, but when I got off the bus and breathed in that air with salt and something sweet from the jasmine in the hotel courtyard all my doubts went somewhere. The sea in March is brisk, honestly, the first couple of days I only went in up to my knee and cursed through my teeth, but then I got used to it and swam like a good boy. walked around the medina, touched those ceramic plates at the market with my hands — the seller kept trying to push five on me, but I held out, took one with a blue pattern. The food was good, though their coffee everywhere is kind of strange, not that it's bad but not ours, but the hot flatbread with honey is just a song. Came back tanned, happy, and if I want the sea again at the start of the year — I'll go there again without thinking

The plane landed in Enfidha, got out — heat like from a hairdryer. Thought that's it, the end, I'll melt right on the gangway.. but no, the bus was waiting, got to Mahdia fine. Took a small hotel, not a chain one, and it turned out to be just my thing — quiet, pine trees, seven minutes on foot to the sea through an alley with cats. In the morning the water was still bracing, swam alone, then people started showing up. Breakfasts, honestly, are monotonous, but I ate flatbread with butter and honey every morning and didn't get tired of it) In the evenings I went to the medina for ceramics, haggled for a plate — still proud of it. On the way back I was tired but with this... pleasant feeling that everything was real. And the hotel staff turned out to be inattentive

Bought the tour spontaneously, didn't really choose the hotel — and didn't regret a single minute. The sea in Mahdia was warm, even in the evening I didn't want to get out. The only thing, the air conditioner in the room hummed like a tractor, but that's a small thing, everything else was wonderful.

Tunisia and Mahdia — it was not bad. The sea is warm, but the wind kept throwing sand in my face so much that my eyes stung. I went on an excursion to the ruins, the guide told it interestingly, but the bus shook mercilessly. At the hotel the food was okay, though the coffee at the bar — a real nasty swill, like they brewed chicory. A well-deserved four, however I wouldn't stay in a first-floor room again — you can hear every rustle from the lobby.

To Tunisia, to Mahdia, I flew for the sun, but got more — the sea in February is cool, but the air is +20, I walked along the white streets, drank mint tea and stuffed myself with mandarins from the market. The hotel had a lazy elevator and a creaky door, but those are trifles, because I came back happy. 5 out of 5.

Potomu chto u menya bila komandirovka v Tunisia i ya reshil dobavit paru dney otdyha, tuda i poehali v Mahdiu. Ostalsya dovolen, more i eda normalnie, hotel ne roskoshniy no mne hvatalo.

Қызымның тісі ауырды, дәрігерге бару керек болды, сондықтан бір апта демалыс іздедім, әдеттегідей менеджерге қоңырау шалдым, ол бізге Махдияны ұсынды. Бардық. Жүзуді ұнатамын, ал жергілікті тағамдар мынадай дәмді, әсіресе балық, лимон, зәйтүн майы. Қонақ үй жағажайда орналасқан, бөлме таза, бірақ кондиционер қатты шуылдады, түнде ұйықтай алмадым. Базардағы сатушыларға күлімсіреп қарадым, олар маған зәйтүн берді, дәмдедім, тұзды болды. Балаларға арналған анимация нашар болды, бірақ мен бұған көңіл бөлмедім. Қайтарда чемоданымды жинап үлгермедім, ұшаққа асығып жүгірдім

we went to Mahdia because we needed a break from work, and the travel agency happened to be on the way home, we walked in almost without an appointment and bought a tour like five days before departure, without thinking too long.. at the hotel there was a seawater pool, the water in it was warm like tea, but near the sunbeds someone was always reserving spots with towels from the very morning - you had to get up at the crack of dawn to grab a decent sunbed and then even then someone would sit down next to you and turn on music on their phone, which was a bit annoying, but the sea is clean, you walk in and your legs just carry you. came back tanned and with a magnet on the fridge, rating five and no questions

әйелім түркияда бірдеңе жасады, жоқ түркияда емес... жалпы магдияда болдық, қонақүй жақсы, бірақ кондиционер түні бойы гуілдеді, тағы мына масалар, мен өзім жөндедім, өйткені ешкім сағаттап келмеді, ресепшндегі жігіт шапшаң сияқты еді. теңіз таза, күнде таңертең барып шомылдым, әсіресе жел жоқта керемет, ал күндіз жел құмды көтеріп, шезлонгта панирде жатқандай жатырсың.. қызметкерлер жымияды, бірақ шайды ұзақ әкелді, егер мына сүлгі оқиғасы болмаса бес қойар едім, оны екі күн қатарынан ауыстырмады

we came with my husband to choose where to fly on vacation, we wanted Egypt but it's windy there, and we were advised Mahdia they said it's calm there and the sea is warm so we decided. the only thing that stressed us out was the morning transfer from the hotel to the airport, the bus came an hour and a half late and we almost missed the flight, but the manager quickly sorted everything out over the phone and we made it, so five stars desrved!!.

Went with the family to Tunisia, or more precisely to Mahdia—just needed to switch off from work, I was sitting there on remote with almost no days off. Chose this agency in almaty because a friend booked Egypt through them and seemed fine. The hotel was ok, but there was a problem with the food——the wife was grumbling, and I somehow didn't notice at first. The sea is clean, warm, in November it's just great, I didn't even expect the air to be so soft. went on a tour of various museums and stuff, and also went into the old town, but most of the time we just lay by the pool. A couple of things annoyed me—the air conditioner in the room rattled like a tractor, had to ask them to change it, and one more day the guide was an hour late. Overall I'm happy, but four stars because for that kind of money I'd want it without these little nerve-wreckers. The local wine by the way is pleasant, I bought a bottle at the shop around the corner and sat on the balcony in the evening. We did decide we'll come back again in spring, maybe we'll try a differnt hotel on the right. But that's not certain yet, work has worn me out I've got no strenght left

Booked it myself on Booking to choose the hotel — in Kazakhstan travel agencies all push Egypt, but I wanted Mahdia. The manager sorted everything out in a couple of days, even though at first I bombarded her with questions about transfer and food. Came back tanned, with a kilo of dates and a jar of olive oil in my suitcase, the oil, by the way, turned out a bit bitter, but that's minor — 5 out of 5.

The trip to Mahdia was great. Went to the beach, went on excursions, though the bed in the hotel creeaked a bit, but that's minor. Came back rested and happy.

Poehal v Mahdiyu cherez kazahstanskoe agentstvo potomu chto hotel na more a vibor u nih bil normalniy. More teploe, no v sele na odnom plyazhe pesok bil kak krupnaya krupka i nochyu v nom bila kakaya to suhaya trava kotoraya kololas kogda hazhil bosikom, no ya vse ravno vernulsya dovolniy.

Mahdia is something else. I walked around the market there, bought a ceramic plate painted in blue — it's still on the shelf, and I still remember the smell of their coffee. The manager told me a place where the locals get fish, and after that I ran there every evening. The sea was cool, windy, but at least few people and the sunsets were such that I forgot to take out my phone. Came back happy, even though the suitcase got a couple kilos heavier from the olive oil.
