They gave 10 bucks at the reception for a room with a sea view (in the beginning, the key to the room on the first floor was issued, the rooms are all standard). Money was changed at the hotel, the rate throughout the country is stable 1 dollar = 1.3 dinars, so it doesn’t matter where to change, the only thing is not to throw away the check when exchanging, you can only change back at the airport if you have a passport and a check.
I liked everything about the hotel, the only negative is the dining room with weak air conditioning. Fed normally, will go. They never swam in the pool during the day because such a gorgeous sea was simply impossible to ignore. A beach with white fine sand, water +27 and the color is just super, from white to azure blue. A car drives along the beach and sifts the sand. Swimming in the pool at night.
The territory consists of 2 hotels Marhaba 3+ and Marhaba Club 4. You can enjoy all the benefits. On the territory there is a two-story building "Neptune". Reading reviews, I imagined an old dull building, but no. Attaching photo. Animation - bullshit, how else can it be if the animators are Arab boys? A big plus is that the hotel is located in the city of Sousse. Every evening we went for a walk to the city center and to Port El Kantaoui (do not go to the port on foot, it is better to go by tuk-tuk. My husband took me there on foot on his miracle map, it turned out to be about an hour, well, you can imagine how much he had to listen to. . . ). We tried local fresh juices, ice cream (just huge portions, how Arab women gobble it up alone, it's just incomprehensible), coffee, tea (just swill in a glass), cheap fruits and hookah. Disco 10 dinars, did not go, but they say it's cool.

As for the country - it's something between East and West. The nature is beautiful, palm trees everywhere, vegetation, dragonflies on the trees make the sound of voltage in the electrical panel. Tours are amazing. Were in the capital of Tunisia Tunis, Sidi Bou Said, Carthage, Bordeaux Mosaic Museum (this is all one tour). It costs 70 dinars. From excursions to the Sahara, people are generally delighted with $ 150 for one (2 days, with a stop at a hotel, riding camels, jeeps, the Colosseum, salt lakes, oases, Kairouan). We didn't go because we had 7 days in total. In the country, no one speaks Russian, only English is spoken, French is sometimes Italian. Take a phrase book. We bought oriental sweets and olive oil (there is a state store "General", where locals do their shopping). The cold-pressed oil "Ruspina" tormented the Arab seller for a long time in order to give out which oil was the best. It’s a pity that I didn’t try thalassotherapy, but the massage therapist said that it’s too early for me. Will definitely be back in time.
