April is the best time to relax, so prepare for a terrific flight! The choice between “cold” and “warm” countries in the late winter is often resolved in favor of the latter, if you are not an avid skier or snowboarder. So we offer three different countries where you can relax from the long-standing winter.
Tunisia, Sousse
Tunisian resort of Hammamet is considered to be an ideal travel destination. However, the tourist capital shares this honor with Sousse–the “Pearl of the plains.” In the recent past, near the city the Tunisians built one of the resorts of Sousse–the complex of Port El Kantaun with an artificial harbor. About 300 yachts and marine craft can moor there at the same time.
You will find a spot for driving around, since the beaches of Sousse are among the best ones in Tunisia, and, according to eyewitnesses, outperform in this regard even the traditional Hammamet.
Tunisia is famous for its thalassotherapy center, which compares favorably to the same services in other countries, having lower price and higher quality. Those who enjoy soul therapy will find all of 33 ways of doing so. This place hosts artificial Marina Bay and Botanical Gardens “Oasis Park El Kantaoui.” It compiles a vast collection (about 25,000) of rare, aromatic and medicinal plants.
If you don’t want to waste your time at the hotel, the most famous discos–Bonapart, Marokkana, Rediguana–located in the heart of the resort, will be at your service. Besides, you can also go for bowling, or wave a stick at the golf club. Not far from Sousse, in the entertainment complex Hergla Park you will find karting race for both children and adults (each at their own racetrack).
History lovers will be able to walk to the medieval fortress of Rabat and its famous catacombs. It is known that the length of the underground galleries is more than five kilometers. Here you can stand about the early Christian burials, and wander around the ancient Medina of the city wall.
Ibid you will have fun visiting good souvenir shops, restaurants and cafes. There are many good cafes for the fans of classical Arab East. It is there that you get attached to the oriental culture. You can smoke hookah and drink a local drink. A huge number of restaurants and cafes are located in Port El Kantaoui. Beer lovers will be able to enjoy the most popular pub in the county–Brau, which is also located there.
The average temperature in April is 22 C.
China, Hainan Island
If you are bored by African exotica, you can visit one of the best resorts in Asia–the island of Hainan. It is called “Island south of the sea” and is located in southern China. Today it is a huge tropical resort. 300 sunny days a year, providing air temperature of 24 C and + 26 C water temperature.
If you want to rest on the “first class,” you need to book a room in the southern part of the island. There is a year-round resort town of Sanya. It is there that the most famous centers of traditional Chinese medicine, and the most fashionable hotels are located. Most hotels spread out on two bays–Yalunvan (“Dragon Asia) and Donghai (“Great Eastern Sea “). The first bay is located 30 kilometers away from Sanya and is considered the most environmentally friendly one.
For some people Hainan with its thermal and radon sources and Guantan Sinlug is the center of traditional Chinese medicine on the sea. Others can find some active recreation there–grandiose landscape parks, an ancient volcano, the island of monkeys, the valley of butterflies and the museum of pearls are just some of the places you can visit there. And don’t forget to visit the Ma Al ethnographic villages of Li and Miao nationalities.
You will also enjoy the Hainan beaches that stretch for tens of kilometers. Children will be especially pleased with the visit to Middle Kingdom. It is the largest aquarium in Asia with a large collection of exotic fish and marine animals. Even extremals will not remain idle on the island. Everything is available here: rafting, scuba diving, fishing and safari.
The average temperature in April is 24 C
Morocco, Agadir
Morocco is also known as “The Far Sunset Country.” Agadir, the “white city,” is the pearl of the country. Agadir is widely known as a famous spa town, rich with luxury hotels and almost complete absence of the traditional Islamic austerity. Casinos, restaurants and half-naked girls–that’s the main component of this jewel. Smoking nargila here is pretty common, so if you are looking for extra experience then Shiazo Steam Stones that you were doing back home, traditional nargial smoking is another attraction.
Nevertheless, the main attraction of the “white city” are the golden beaches that stretch almost 10 kilometers. Among green eucalyptus, pines and tamarisk you will find more than 40 hotels, which are on a par with European level service.
The resort is located in one of the most picturesque corners of the African Atlantic coast. From the hot desert you get protected by the mountain Atlaskie protects you from the hot desert. The sun warms it 300 days a year. Even in December, it is rarely below +22 C. In summer, the debilitating heat is getting knocked by the cool Canary Current, and therefore the weather is much calmer.
Despite the “Muslim,” the city itself is quite modern. A devastating earthquake literally swept if off the face of the earth in 1960, so there is nothing to look with antique oriental flavor. The traditional “east” came to anti-seismic technology, which brought the game of golf and tennis, fishing for sharks and thalassotherapy, nightclubs and discos, pop concerts and different shows. The most famous nightclubs are Atlas Club at the Sheraton 5 *, Papagayo Hotel Tikida Beach 4 * and Paradesco at Argana. Typically, the entry fee to the nightclubs in Agadir is about 10 dollars, but girls can enter for free.
Like any resort town there, Agadir has an Arbat. This is a tourist area, located between the Boulevard Mohammed V and the sea. It is full of amusing little shops, cafés and chic boutiques. Here, in cafes and restaurants, you can easily get hooked on a fish diet: shrimp, lobster and crayfish, freshly caught sardines and tuna. The lovers of French, Japanese and even Chinese food will probably like the local cuisine, and the lovers of meat and various spices will also find something to their taste. The only obstacle to tourists coming to rest on the “full program” could be perhaps the ban to sell alcohol after 20:00. Traditional Moroccan tea is also an indispensable attribute of any meal in Morocco.
Agadir is the best place to start your trip in the south of Morocco. You can take a one-day jeep safari, a city tour, or a trip to one of the ancient capitals–Marrakech. If you want something exotic, perhaps you should take a trip to one of the most beautiful ports and castles of Essaouira. It became famous in 60-70s of the past century as a place of pilgrimage for hippies from around the world.
The average temperature in April is +23-25 C.
