1. Transfer.
Upon arrival at Enfidha airport, Tunisian porters are waiting for you, who take their clients with impudent suddenness. Therefore, if you do not plan to give tips before you reach the hotel, carry your luggage yourself.
Transfer Enfidah - Hotel was successful, but the return transfer turned out to be a complete failure.
In the lobby of the hotel there is a notice board for each group of vacationers, the date and flight number from the airport are indicated there. It also indicates the time of arrival at the hotel of the bus that takes you to the airport. Our flight was at 18-50, the arrival time of the bus was indicated at 15-20.
Estimated time at the hotel 12-00. At 14:00, almost the entire group had already gathered in the hotel lobby. At 15-20 the bus did not arrive, there were no announcements of a flight delay or a change in circumstances. Somewhere at 15-30 we called our guide, Olga, who said that the flight was delayed for an hour and the bus would arrive at 16-40. We began to wait. At 16-40 the bus arrived, we plunged, stood for another 10 minutes because of embarrassment with theft. And again, everyone is sure that the flight is delayed. We arrived at the airport around 5:45 pm. Went to check in luggage, go through passport control. And in the queue for passport control (about 18-05) we find out that the flight is not delayed (and was not delayed! ) And the passengers of our flight are asked to urgently board. At the same time, only three windows work at the control, one of which lets passengers through very slowly. In a word, we flew into the plane at the last minutes in the literal sense. Such negligence on the part of Prima Tours could have cost them dearly, and we, the passengers, who miraculously flew away from Yenfida.
2. Sea and beach.
The beach is private, sandy. The sand is white and soft. The beach is being removed.
The sea is clean, the water is clear. When it's calm, the sea can be said to be ideal for swimming and relaxation. During the period of our rest there were waves, caused algae, but there were no jellyfish.
It is divided behind the scenes into two parts: on the left they rest on towels, on the right - on sun loungers. Sun loungers are paid for all vacationers, incl. for those who have AI. There are no beach towels at all. For the period of our holiday, the cost of a sun lounger per day was 2.5 dinars. After payment, it is important to keep the receipt so that you do not have to pay twice for one day.
Due to the location of the hotel (the hotel is located at the entrance to the city of Sousse), there are practically no local residents from the surrounding houses on the beach, but there are many Tunisians among the hotel visitors who still visit the beach. Be prepared for:
• most Tunisian women bathe in clothes;
• Tunisians are grouped in families of up to 10 people;
• entering the sea, they gather in a circle and splash in the water on the spot;
• Tunisians are rather “vociferous”.
There is entertainment on the beach: parasailing, water skiing, banana, etc. Beach bar with toilets. There is no soul near the beach.
I would also like to add that the “head of the beach” (the guy who issues receipts for sun loungers) kept order on the beach, did not allow animals to the beach - camels, horses (they brought tourists to divorce in the photo), domestic dogs of local residents.
3. Hotel and territory.
Before the trip, we read reviews about the hotel, so we were not surprised by anything, unlike most tourists.
If you want a good room - whole furniture, air conditioning and possibly a sea view - give the reception from 10 to 20 dollars. We gave 20, we were given a room (numbers starting from the 600th) on the second floor, overlooking the beach and the sea. The room has a bathroom, bedroom-living room, balcony. The bathroom has toilet paper and hot/cold water. The room has a wardrobe, beds, a mirror, a chair. On the balcony there is a table and 2 chairs. The remote control for the air conditioner must be requested at the reception, it is given on bail. The deposit is returned at the end. There are no personal hygiene products in the rooms.
It is highly recommended not to leave money and valuables in the room. Leave your passports, money and expensive mobile phones in a safe. The safe is located in the lobby, next to the reception. Paid. Everything else, such as cameras, tablets, etc. can be left at the reception. There was an incident with us - a couple left a camera and expensive earrings (why did they even take them? ) In the room literally for a short time and they were stolen. They raised a fuss, but to no avail. And no wonder, because they warned. So watch your stuff and don't take too much.
On the streets of the city the situation is the same - pickpockets work in full. Everything that lies badly, is no longer there.
The hotel area is so-so. There are no outlandish trees, a sea of flowers, neatly trimmed lawns. Palm trees grow, bushes with flowers - but it all looks like it was stumbled at random. But in general, it's ok. The main thing to remember is how much money was paid and how many stars the hotel has (3 *).
Dining room. Although they are proudly called "Restaurant". The food was monotonous and either tasteless or too spicy. Sometimes for dinner they gave watermelon, melon. During the entire stay, only once there was a delicious fish on the grill, and there is nothing to remember. We had half board (breakfast-dinner), drinks only for breakfast. For dinner, drinks for us were paid. Which, in my opinion, is bullshit. Those who took AI overpaid money in vain. They had breakfast, lunch, dinner. During the day, soft drinks, local wine was added for dinner. And that's all. Snacks, alcohol in the bar are paid for them.
You can have lunch in a cafe across the street from the hotel.
4. General notes.
Outside the hotels, an unpleasant picture opens up: unfinished houses, concrete fences, broken bus stops, heaps of garbage along the road. I understand that for many tourists this went unnoticed or normal, but for us Tunisia will remain in our memory as a mountain of garbage. In addition to garbage, they have a chaotic traffic system: there are no traffic lights, pedestrians are not allowed through, and no one has heard of traffic rules. Even catching a taxi or finding the right minibus in Sousse is problematic, you are either ignored, or there are no places, or sent from side to side. I was struck that Sousse is a resort town, but there are more than 80% of local residents. Tourists are almost invisible.
The hotel offers various excursions, but everyone praises the trip to the Sahara. It cost about 200 dinars.
The exchange rate in Tunisia is fixed; for the duration of our stay: 1 dollar = 1.6 dinars.
