Dar Ismail Nour El Ain, Ain Draham: forest hotel

Dar Ismail Nour El Ain is a 4-star hotel in Ain Draham, at Col des Ruines, on the wooded heights of the Kroumirie range in north-west Tunisia. It carries the same name as Dar Ismail in Tabarka, in a mountain version: indoor pool, massages, a restaurant and a bar, set among cork oaks. Tabarka and the sea are less than an hour's drive away.

Location: Col des Ruines, Ain Draham

The hotel is at Col des Ruines in Ain Draham, Jendouba governorate. The village, with its red-tiled roofs, is surrounded by cork oak forest: summers are cooler than on the coast, and winters can bring snow.

Tabarka, with its beach, marina and fort, is less than an hour away by road, and the Roman site of Bulla Regia, known for its underground houses, makes a good day trip. From eastern Algeria, travellers come through the Babouch border post; check formalities with the authorities before you travel.

Rooms, restaurant and bar

Rooms are air-conditioned, with free Wi-Fi and a bathroom with a bathtub. Triple rooms are available, handy for a family with one child. The room type and number of beds are shown on each offer before you book.

The hotel has a restaurant, and breakfast is a buffet. There is also a bar. The board depends on the rate and is shown on each offer.

Indoor pool and relaxation

The hotel has an indoor pool, welcome in a region where it is cool and rainy for much of the year. Massages are available at extra charge.

Around the hotel you can walk in the forest and enjoy the mountain air. In winter, snow can fall on the village; for a snowy weekend, book early.

Practical tips. Not to be confused

Parking is free. In winter, check the weather and road conditions before setting off.

Do not confuse it with Dar Ismail in Tabarka, which is a seafront hotel, or with La Forêt, another hotel in Ain Draham. To compare, see our Hotels in Tunisia page.
