Tunisia or Cape Verde Islands

Evening all!

The wife and I are thinking about an all inclusive trip in Novemeber and have seen some great deals to Tunisia but note that the top temps seem to be around 21C with higher rainfall. However Cape Verde Islands seems to be around 26C with little rainfall but is 40% more expensive and a little further away .

Any guidance on either of these or indeed anywhere else good in November for a week AI? :D

Thanking you all in advance for your immense wisdom ):

Tunisia. Not a great fan . Travelled there once (many years ago) with GB Airways via Tunis. I hated it so much I tried to get a flight home the following day/s to no avail.
It was warm (it was October) and that's the only positive thing I can say. Not a place I ever want to return to.
Never been to Cape Verde but it'd get my vote regardless :) .

I don't think anything in the Med is guaranteed to be warm enough in November.

I'd go Cape Verde or maybe Canary Islands as winter sun destinations. Fuerteventura is not bad.

Like DL we went to Tunisia years ago and both got very bad tummy upsets.

What about EGYPT don't know how it compares with Cape Verde prices but you can go from most airports and for any amount of days. We normally go with First Choice/Thomson, not great but bearable no food or inflight movies anymore.

Do remember though the runway in Sal is not very long so can only take a small plane so would advise on getting the extra legroom seats they usually go months in advance.Linda

Long enough for a Space Shuttle to land on

Cape Verde every time. 10/10 - AND if you're in to water sports, it rules :-)

my mum and dad went all inclusive a year or so ago (in October)to Tunisia and prounounced that it was 'very good'

The locals were friendly and appreciated that they took the time to leave the resort.

I suppose it depends where exactly in Tunisia you were thinking about.
