The Red Sea is, of course, a fairy tale, but for the sake of it it is already worth a trip to Egypt. Take hotels where there are reefs nearby, you will get real pleasure watching the fish
The Mediterranean Sea in Tunisia is gentle, clean, but of course it cannot be compared with the Red.

Beaches.
Here the palm should be given to Tunisia. The white sand beaches that stretch along the entire coast are undoubtedly better than those of Egypt.

Sousse in Tunisia is certainly more interesting in terms of "what to see" than Hurghada and Sharm, but the pyramids and the Sphinx are only in Egypt. First go to Egypt, admire the beauties of the Red Sea, go on excursions to Cairo Giza, to Luxor, look at the Karnak temple, and next time to Tunis, Sousse is an interesting city, half an hour by local train from the city of Monastir. Another half hour by train and you are in Mahdia, the former state of pirates. Also in Sousse is the famous resort of Port El Kantaoui, where you can take a walk and have a good time.
Egypt can be relaxing in autumn, winter and spring, summer is too hot. In Tunisia, you can relax in spring, summer and autumn, in winter it is too cool for swimming. So these countries compete with each other only in the spring and autumn periods.

We were in Egypt once, I just want to know the difference between these two countries.

What's the price difference?
аватар irishka82
as for me - the sea. I am from Odessa, I can’t be scared by the sea, except for the Black Sea, I was near the Mediterranean, Marble, Aegean, on the Atlantic coast, but I fell in love with the Red Sea.

The cost of an approximately equivalent two-week tour to Tunisia is more expensive than to Egypt, but when we start counting the money spent for the entire vacation, the amounts are equalized. Of course, if you spend your entire vacation in a hotel without going on excursions, then an Egyptian vacation will be cheaper. We are a curious people, and we cannot stand more than two days in a row on the beach.

True, the service in Tunisia is better, but personally I don’t pay much attention to such moments (up to a certain limit, of course.))

I like Egypt more than Tunisia.
This, given that Tunisia did not live up to my expectations at all and made me regret the wasted time and money.
аватар irishka82
I also like Egypt more, I remember with warmth the time spent on excursions, I will go with pleasure sometime again. And maybe more than once)))

Yes, and do not believe the stories about kilometer-long white beaches - ordinary gray sand, like a river, the beaches themselves are public, walkable, this is not Egypt, locals can hang out next to vacationers, merchants go around. The sea is muddy, with algae and jellyfish.
This is all about perhaps the best Tunisian resort - Mahdia.

Monastir. Skanes beach. The sand is like in the Maldives. White and pleasant. And you were not lucky with the sea, you can see it was stormy the day before.
аватар irishka82
In Mahdia - the waves knock down, the sand is ordinary - not "white-white". In Hammamet and Monastir, the sea is gentle, the sand is normal, there are almost no jellyfish there - they are somehow carried by the current ...
аватар Pachok
"And you were unlucky with the sea, you can see it was stormy the day before."
All 12 days? :))) But there were no waves just ...
In general, I liked the cuisine in Tunisia, and the hotel was good.

White Maldivian sand - coral. Where can he be in a Mediterranean resort? :)
аватар irishka82
In terms of service, yes. If 4 * you get 4 * and not 3 with a stretch.
аватар irishka82
Well, comparing Tunisian sand with Maldivian sand, I turned it down, it is different in origin. I mean it's not grey. By the way, gray and some kind of dusty sand on the famous Turkish Ituzu beach, for some reason adored by Europeans.

And I was in Egypt once, so the next time, if I have a choice, like yours, I will go to Tunisia. But depending, of course, what you expect from the rest. Personally, I decided to go to a new country every time.
