I want to dedicate this post to a trip to Tunisia. Maybe it will be useful to someone who is looking for reviews about tours.
To begin with, this is a very beautiful country, and by the way, the richest of the Arab countries. Faith - Islam, but very, so to speak, moderate, women here have the right to receive VO, drive a car, work, even dress quite democratically, shoulders and knees must be covered. By the way, about fools and roads, a woman has no right to stop (so to speak, a traffic cop) even if the offense occurs before his eyes. Very beautiful nature, well-groomed clean cities, especially resorts, of course, there are a myriad of hotels, from 3 to 5 stars. what to say about the residents themselves, as in Egypt no one grabs by the hand, but it’s still better to go with a man, even having a teenage boy from 14 years old with you guarantees that no one will bother you. not very clean, it is better not to go to fast foods.
about restaurants. the price range is awesome. for lunch at a restaurant in your hotel or in any other, get ready to shell out at least 30 dinars (180 UAH) for two, although opposite the hotel - about 15-20 dinars. there is a difference. so go take a look.

about travel in a taxi for 2011. Negotiate a price right away and pay right away. I say right away that there will be no change, prepare money without change. bargain, to the extent that you turn around and leave - believe me, they will catch up and go for your price. there is public transport, but it is very scarce, and besides, you need to know where and from where it goes, in terms of money, about 1-2 dinars, no more.
about tips. at least 1 dollar for cleaning the room, for the waiter for the ordered juices, water, beer, well, at your discretion, if the chickens do not peck the dough.
about service. even in a 3+ hotel, the service is good, for not giving a tip you can hear Arabic swearing in your address (you can guess on the spot yourself), this is done not for your ears, but between the waiters themselves, they are sure that you don’t know the language.
about language. native 2 languages ​ ​ - Arabic, French. in English, almost everyone, especially from the staff, knows enough.
about excursions. excursions are paid separately from the voucher, but expensive, 45dinars (270 UAH per person) is to the colosseum-mausoleum of the first president-museum of cultures and 70 dinars (420 UAH) is a dugga, and these are not the most expensive, maximum (we unfortunately did not have time - they left just on the day when this excursion was sent) 205 dinars (1200 UAH) in sugar for 2 days, but she is worth it to us, the girls showed pictures. so that also needs to be taken into account.
about the breakfast-dinner system and all inclusive. ol inclusive is more expensive, of course, but you will spend the same money on sunbeds and mattresses on the beach, on water to the table, etc. etc. so I don't see the point. we dragged change with us everywhere - to pay extra, and all the same, the body requires lunch !! ! this is again the cost and the search for a more or less normal restaurant. hemorrhagic is shorter.

about the market. keep your eyes peeled in the marketplace. who want to steal your grandmother, no matter how much they are, in direct proportion to your impressions at the sight of leather and silver. bidding, bidding and more bidding. bargain until stupefied, they will throw off up to 70% of the price. again, there are a lot of fakes, especially don’t get fooled by watches and gold, all this crap, but there are originals, but not in the market. silver - you can take, even eat with natural pearls. leather. a lot of leather, it's all camel skin, and by the way, not the best quality, llama skin is also found, soft tender, but 3 times more expensive. I didn't regret the bag. for our money 270 UAH. pennies. real quality jeans - you can open. again - the bazaar is the bazaar, a lot of poor quality and fakes.
about stores. there are good shopping centers, departments with real French linen, do not believe it, it is 4 times cheaper than ours. moccasins - 50 dinars from natural suede. in short, the sea. We never returned to the market.
where to go.
- night clubs. there are many of our diaspora, often concerts, for example, a Tarkan concert - 20 dinars -120 UAH. bullshit)). but of course local. ours went - alive and well.
- if you are in Sousse and any other city - a local fortress (there is in every city) RIBAT, if in Sousse, then it is 5 dinars per person, go yourself, admire the former cells, climb to the very top and voila - a view of the whole city and the mosque below, along with the bazaar, you can see the sea and the port of Sousse. nice.
- again, the bazaar must visit.
- there is a casino.
- striptease bar itself))
And, of course, a coffee shop. there, in front of you, pour out of bags such as your heart desires, if you want - grind the grains into flour, in short, the flavors there - hurt.
General impressions - very satisfied, a lot of impressions even after almost a year. it is a pity that we did not go to the Sahara for a 2-day excursion. it was worth it. If you have any questions - write) I could miss something.
