My name is Maria (22 years old), I traveled with my sister (21) and dad (59). Before that, I was abroad only in Turkey, in Tunisia for the first time. Many write that they liked it, but they won’t go again, I think that there are flaws in this tourist destination, but I would love to go again.
CURRENCY - Tunisian dinar. Pennies - millims. 1 dollar - 1.44 dinars. The course is fixed by the state, changed at the hotel and airport. Pay only for them. Bargain 1:6. If he says 10 dinars, then let's not exceed two. They are so accepted. Of course, they portray upset faces, but if you start to leave, they instantly agree.

KYIVSTAR DOES NOT CATCH!!!
MTS catches 4 UAH/sms, 36 UAH/min.

HOTEL 4 stars, fully corresponds to them. We lived in a bungalow, as originally settled, and for this we did not pay extra for tea. Three of us lived in a double room, the bed was already waiting for us when we checked in. Nice well-groomed and green area, the main pool is just gorgeous with a cocktail island. Water park. Ice cream.
A decent general RESTAURANT, a lot of seafood: shrimp, squid, mussels, octopuses and a lot of fish, as well as meat. For a trip, you can book one of 3 "A la carte" restaurants for free per day. We were in the fish on the beach (so-so), the European one is good, but we decided not to go to the national one. on the tour we already tried national cuisine (quite edible) Lunch and dinner in 2 shifts. We had the second one and, according to Ukrainian time, dinner began at 22.00. Not convenient! So we went to the first shift, spitting on the rules. No one noticed this : ))) Moreover: buffet food, but order drinks like this: call the waiter and he brings you an order. Assortment: bottled white and red wine, beer, fanta, sprite, water. Sometimes we had to wait a long time. There just aren't enough waiters.
Animation in English, Italian, German, French, Russian. There were 10 families of Russians, only 3 Ukrainians. Basically, the performances were "boys dress up as girls. " Not very interesting.
BEACH. After 7 in the morning it is difficult to find a place, because tourists book them with their things and go to breakfast or to the pool. But polite beach workers will of course bring you a sun lounger, but it will just be under the sun. But with Ukraine, the time difference is 2 hours, even getting up at 9 local time, we could choose where it is better to lie down. The beach is sandy, clean, umbrellas with shade for 3 sun loungers. Drinks on the beach. Beach towels took their own, they are paid. Safe about $35 for 7 days.

EXCURSION was touted at the hotel. We went to SAHARA, this is the most interesting here. For 2 days. Price $145/person She's worth it! Many advised to take warm clothes to the Sahara to meet the dawn. THEY ARE NEEDED ONLY IN SPRING AND AUTUMN, in the summer it is very warm at 4 am. It is worth taking a half-moon pillow on the bus, 80% of the excursion time in the bus. In fotik spare batteries, and a charger for the phone. From the hotel bottled water 3-4 liters per person. Drinks at lunch and dinner are paid. Sunscreen, a cap, a T-shirt and shoes fastened to the leg, otherwise you will lose it with camels.
Came to RAMADAN. We were politely asked not to eat, drink or smoke in public places. In order not to tease the local religious people. But they understand that the tourism business feeds them and even the words will not tell you. It's just not humanly beautiful.
Were in MEDINA, this is a covered market around the main mosque. SOUVENIRS there!! ! Better to go in the morning or afternoon. You can not be afraid of the sun there, everything is covered. On the tour we were told about edible CACTUS. We decided to try. Warned _ buy peeled. We didn't listen. Bought 1kg by weight. Brought to the hotel. Peel off the skin like a kiwi. At first I didn't understand what was going on. THREE DAYS THE NEEDLE FROM THE HANDS WAS TAKEN OUT! Feelings are not pleasant. But tasty and unusual. Try it, but be careful.
