Tunisia What to Expect

When you're traveling to the countries of Africa be careful in dealing with merchants on markets. They are not always fair and you must haggle a lot with them, because first what they do, they are checking how much can you pay for something giving you cosmic prices. Try to ask other travelers or better - trip guides about value of the item. In this way is lower possibility for being tricked. :)You have to watch out for children too. They are learned how to beg for alms in annoying way. You can't give them money or similar things. They don't go study or work because panhandling is giving them profits. Be careful, also in this way you can loose some of your stuff - little thieves.

Hammamet was very easy to get to from Tunis, I took their bus system and it took less than two hours to get there. Upon arrival, I got into a taxi and watched a very dirty city pass by me. The tourist areas though, near the hotels, are beautiful! The beaches are gorgeous and the Mediterranean is more beautiful than it is in Southern Italy! Beware all females of the casanova's on the beach, they will follow you like lost puupies. I wore a fake wedding band and told them I was married and my husband was sleeping in the hotel, that got rid of them fairly quickly! Apart from that, Hammamet is one of the most relaxing beach destinations I've ever been to! Do make sure to go all inclusive though, otherwise the resorts will bleed you dry.

Tunis is an amazing city and is extremely friendly even towards those who do not speak Arabic or French. The main road of the city is normally bustling throughout the day and night with very good shops just off the main street. The main road leads straight to the Old Medina which is beautiful and a great way to experience a Medina if you're too scared of the Moroccan experience which I've heard can be quite overwhelming. Public transport in Tunis is easy and affordable. I took both the TGM (kind of like a streetcar/train) and their equivalent of a Greyhound bus service to Sidi Bou Said and Hammamet respectively. Both trips were easy and convenient. Try not to take taxi's anywhere you don't have to because they charge an incredibly high rate, especially if they think you are not a local. Beware of set pricing, the meter is normally the best idea. Also, be sure to exchange all of your dinars back to euros before leaving Tunisia. Very few places will exchange dinars. Also, for single femal travellers, I went on my own and found that I had no problem until it got dark out. During the day when people are at work it is common for single females to walk around, but unless you want to be whistled and stared at, I would not suggest going out alone at night. Tunis is a marvellous city with great food and a vibrant culture!

Females should be aware of the code of dress. You should cover your legs - either wear light trousers or knee length skirt. Females who wear shorts and/or low-cut tops are very often pestered by men.

The Markets avoid unless you like haggling!
