Were in the marhaba club from 11 to 21 June. In principle, I liked everything))) From Moscow there was a delay of about 4.5 hours. A / c globe. They put me on a plane, I couldn't take off. As it turned out problems with the engine)). Flew on another. As a result, we were at the hotel at 1 am instead of 18-00. They settled not in a room, but in a hole, on the 0th floor overlooking the open heaps; $ 10 did their job --- a room on the 3rd floor with a sea view and immediately put on the bracelet (all inclusive). The room is new, TV and remote control without any deposit (although we turned it on once to check if it works / no), but there is no hair dryer (this is infa for girls). The condo works well. The room is healthy with a balcony!! ! I advise you to take all inclusive, because beer, wine, cocktails!! ! especially very expensive ones, and everything flows like a river, drink as much as you want. In the restaurant, the food is very good for lunch, several types of meat, sometimes they gave mussels, shrimp, a lot of side dishes, always several types of pizza, 4-5 types of ice cream, AWESOME cakes, muffins, rolls, cakes, but the fruit let us down wooden peaches, and sour watermelons and plums, apricots are good. In short, a gobbler. There’s just one joke that we didn’t immediately understand: in general, everyone is allegedly assigned a permanent table, and your card is inserted there. We were constantly driven to different tables, and we, sometimes even with difficulty, begged for a table, sometimes sat down at a dirty one and without napkins, etc……. Is it clear what I mean? We realized this by the end of the stay, just the general administrator at the beginning of the stay is given a certain amount, after which, constant pats on the shoulder with exclamations of AMIGO, smiles, clean tables, etc. are provided for the whole time. Either every time or every other time, you need to give the administrator and the waiter, who removes your table tip, in the amount of 1-2 dinars (a trifle that is less than a dinar, that is, millimes, is not suitable for tipping because it is supposedly considered an insult --- we were told). Here is such a schedule. At the expense of animation, to be honest, I didn’t like it, insipid jokes for the elderly will pull. Four machos, with great self-esteem and great narcissism, show a boring program, for example: on Thursday, they dance all 2.5 hours (and dancing without any staging, I lift my arms, legs - garbage is shorter + narcissism), on Tuesday, in my opinion , fakir show, complete garbage, but everyone is filmed on camera... well, it. In short, for young people, it seems boring to me, to put it mildly. And we don’t have our own disco, we went to a disco from the Marhaba hotel - I’d better keep silent so as not to splash out obscene speech: a terrible hall-basement, with smelly sofas, from which pieces of foam rubber stick out, music is generally something, well, there are a couple of songs more or less contemporary David Guetta, etc. , but then…. Irina Allegrova-We are all bitches, Disco Crash-New Year is rushing towards us.......and the culmination was Eastern Arabic songs, from which they just went crazy !!!!
Talking on a cell phone is very expensive, it is better to use payphones on the street. The weather in the period from June 11 to June 21 is about +35 every day, it never rained. For me personally, the hair dryer that I took was very useful. I regret that I did not take shampoo, nail polish remover))). Be sure to take a couple of towels. For example, we had non-terry, thin, but long ones, and we wore them to the beach and lay on them when we couldn’t find a sunbed or just wanted to lie on the sand. If you buy on the beach, for example, skydiving, riding a scooter, always bargain for 5 dinars, guaranteed to be thrown off. I really liked riding a scooter (water bike) !! ! Just super!! ! On cheesecake!! ! Super!!!
Compared to marhaba and marhaba beach, the hotel is 100% better and more modern, even if we compare the hall. There are a lot of Italians, Slovaks, Poles, and Russians, as it seemed to me, few; many young families with children, many older people.

If you give a tip, then everyone is friendly. We gave tips to one bartender and he once brought us our favorite cocktail, although we did not order))) They mostly speak English, French, they know 2-3 words in Russian. They clean every day, if you don't want to be cleaned, hang a "do not disturb" sign, then they don't come in. And of course, one dinar should be put on the table for the cleaner. Upon check-in, they gave us a room on the 0 floor with a view of the open heaps, returned $ 10 in the passport, as a result, we were changed to a room on the 3rd floor with a sea view.
The distance to the beach is about 2 minutes. The main discos (bora bora, maracana, arena) are also not very far away. The hotel is in the center of Sousse, so there are many shops nearby, a lot of cafes and restaurants. Advice: a cheap store "Medina Center" (towards Port el Kantui, and not reaching it, another shopping center, I don't remember what it's called, unfortunately) + of course General, there is Celtia beer for 900 millimeters, cheap halva and so on ). Transfer time from the airport is 15-20 minutes. I advise you to take an excursion to the Sahara, very interesting. We got 410 dinars for two (this is together with jeeps, camels, and an overnight stay at a hotel in Duza). I will not write in detail about the Sahara in this section, for a very long time, because there are a lot of interesting things)))). The price of a taxi, let's say to Port el Kantu from the hotel, is 4 dinars during the day, more expensive in the evening. I liked Port El Kantu very much! —as in Italy or France ---- a sea of ​ ​ snow-white yachts…. Class…. I regret not going to Sidi Bou Said…. .
About shopping
We brought 3! ! super hookahs (two bought in the medina for 50 dinars and the second for 25, and the third in Kairouan on the way back from the Sahara for 23 dinars (by the way, this store has very low prices !!! )); they brought halva - very tasty with nuts, etc. In Tunisia, there are a lot of cool multi-colored leather bags, suitcases, a purse, so I bought a purse and a purse 3 pieces --- super quality and real leather; Also, delicious olive oil!
I so want to write more! But there is no time... Ask questions, I will be happy to answer everyone !!!
In the end I will say --- TUNISIA TALE ! !
