Ramadan
Hello everyone! In Tunisia for the first time, for the first time in Ramadan. I would like to know what it's like to relax at this time? Shops in the evening until what time do they open (and do they work at all)? Where are the free beaches in Porto? What fruits will be in the second half of June. Thank you

During Ramadan, we were in Egypt and Turkey, as tourists, we did not notice any distinctive features. I can’t answer the rest of the questions, I haven’t been to Tunisia.
Go to a meeting with a separate guide, and there they will answer all your questions about the opening hours of shops, beaches, and fruits.

On such a holiday there will be a problem with the purchase of alcohol and tobacco. Most shops are closed. If that doesn't bother you, then you're good to go.

There are no special features for a tourist in Ramadan, especially in Tunisia. In Porto, everything works until night, everything is sold as always, without any special features, an amusement park is open.
In Tunisia, ALL beaches are free and are municipal.
Fruit is everything, peach, grapes, watermelon, melon, awesome figs, plum, cactus fruit, banana, awesome dates.
I always rest in Ramadan, no problem.

And at this time in Tunisia there is a huge size and sweet like honey strawberries, as well as a very tasty and unusual fruit - a bead. This is a variety of Asian medlar, yellow in color, shaped like a cross between a plum and a small pear, in taste ...... peach, strawberry and melon ... as for me, others describe this taste differently.

cactus fruits are called HINDI. they must be handled with great care. a lot of almost invisible needles, and if you take it clean with your bare hands - then you have to go to the doctor to take them out, you won’t be able to do it yourself. But it's worth trying them - an unusual taste (I especially like those that are yellow and purple inside) Do not get carried away with Hindi - they are still used in Tunisia as a remedy for frustration, they have a pronounced bonding effect! Be sure to buy fresh almonds in Tunisia, it is very inexpensive during this period, about $ 0.5 per 1 kg (unpeeled). Very tasty stuff!!!

If you get to the market, buy soft cheese there (similar in shape to cheese, but in consistency like cottage cheese) - Ricotta, in Tunisian it is called RIGUTA. It is very tender and tasty, absolutely not salty, you can eat it just like that, without adding sour cream or something else ... by itself. It just melts in your mouth. It costs about 3-3.5 dollars per kilo. Well, be sure to try the olives, by weight (not in jars!!!)!! For five years I have been bringing from Tunisia 5-6 kg each time. I take them to friends and acquaintances, after the first time I gave them to try!)))

Just mega thanks for the answer and advice. You have to go with an empty suitcase in order to bring more))) all this miracle is sold exclusively in the market, or can you also find it in the store?

Try to buy everything in stores. The country is not very clean. Therefore, shopping and eating is better in shops and normal cafes (not roadside). Otherwise, there may be health problems.

And you do not confuse with Egypt. In Tunisia, just clean Arabs, unlike the same Egyptians. In addition, fruits can be bought at the market and on the road. When we went to Dugga, on the way we stopped at a merchant, bought grapes, peaches, figs, just lick your fingers and 2 times cheaper.
In general, you can go to the General or Monprix store in any city

no, I'm not confused. Here in the Generale we did our shopping. There are also convenience stores there. That's the best place to buy.

but it seems that you are confusing, Tunisia is the most normal Arab country with a deep positive influence of France. Well, Generale is the usual supermarket chain of the country, nothing special, but everything is there. I personally don’t go to the bazaars in Tunisia myself, but I don’t see anything wrong with that, I like supermarkets like generale or minimarchiti, which are usually under 3-4 floors and are in any city and stand right next to the bazaars or the central part of the city. The stores have a fixed price, those who like to chat can go boldly to the market, both clothing and grocery. Unlike, for example, Egypt and Turkey, walking there is a pleasure.
So there is nothing to scare people, what is not in Tunisia.

I would like to clarify: are shopping malls open after sunset during Ramadan? Or does it only apply to private shops.

I am speaking what I have seen. And in stores, the price is fixed only where "fix" is written on the price tag. Even in large stores you can bargain if there is no this inscription. If you are not afraid, then shop anywhere. Everything is civilized only in those cities that are considered resorts. And these are far from all cities.

I work for everyone, big and small.
the essence of Ramadan is that after sunset they can eat and drink, sit still and eat and sell or go away in turn.
why are you so worried about the impression that you are going there to go shopping, and not to relax.

olgasamir, about it began, other cities. All stores of the Generale chain and souvenir markets set a fixed price and do not bargain, they can give some kind of trinket in the form of a bonus.
Are you not afraid to buy in stores in Donetsk?
What cities did you visit in Tunisia? I was in Tunisia 3 times for a total of 6 weeks, traveled a lot. There, what are you talking about, I’m sure that you didn’t go, so then why talk about civility. Tourists usually sit in three cities, ala Monastir, Sousse, Hammamet, well, or on Djerba, and there are also a number of small tourist cities, I do not take into account the north of the country, such cities as Bizerte, etc.

That's right - I'm going to rest. But the evenings will be free, so I think how to entertain myself. I know the essence of Ramadan, I myself live in a Muslim republic. But whether it's our country, or it's the Arab countries, there is a difference

Tunisia is a very loyal country to tourists. I traveled to Tunisia with my wife and child without any guides and travel agencies, no difficulties or problems. If you fly with your Pegasus, then get ready for the fact that they tear up decent prices for excursions and intimidate tourists)))
Although I got into Ramadan and in Turkey there were no difficulties either.
Port El Kantaoui is all open until late in the Medina, and cafes and souvenirs and an amusement park.
The only bad thing in Tunisia is jellyfish )))

olgasamir, no. I don't want to scare people. And so these tour operators, agents in the hotel, are good at intimidating tourists without that.
Yes, I know more and not only in Tunisia;) And my family really likes Tunisia, it’s good to travel there, it’s easy to communicate, there are a lot of interesting things, a mild climate, sandy “gentle” beaches, not a deep sea. There is only one disadvantage - jellyfish, but how lucky.
