If your a female be very careful.
The men there all seem to have a problem. They basically think that all western women are cheap and up for it.
It's the type of thing you get in Turkey and some arab countries. You should not go out alone and avoid any clubs, where you WILL be starred at like your naked.
I'm a guy and this is what i have observed!!! Leave a Comment

Taxi drivers at Tunis airport try to rip off first time visitors to Tunis. As soon as we left the terminal we were approached by a driver who followed us around and kept trying to get us to travel into the city with him. There is a bus service from the airport though we couldn't find where it left from so we decided to take a taxi. However, I would advise against getting in with anyone who approaches you and tries to offer a fee.
His first offer was 15D each. This quickly became 15 for two, in the end we got it down to 10 for two. This was still way over the odds as we discovered later when taking a taxi back to the airport from Tunis - it cost only 5 on that occasion. Our taxi driver also tried to recommend us a hotel but we were having none of that and we asked him to leave us on Avenue Bourguiba, the main street in the Ville Nouvelle. Leave a Comment

It is pretty easy to travel around the city by your own, but if you have to cover a long way, then caught a taxi, which is the most developped transportation.
You must take care and make then put on the money counter, otherwise they will simply ask for an ammount which will be 5 times higher then the real one! Leave a Comment

In Tunis there are places where you are not allowed to take photos. For example, in Independence Square, near the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Tunisia and the embassy of France.
Near Carthage the residence of the President is situated, and the windows of it face the remnants of the Roman baths. If you want to take the picture of the baths, try not to get the president's palace in the focus of your still. Leave a Comment

 Shops in Tunis' medina by SWFC_Fan
However, for those not accustomed to bargaining, it can become a bit tiresome after a while.
Furthermore, EVERY shopkeeper will beckon you into his (they are almost exclusively male) shop, and will be extremely friendly when he believes you are interested in buying something.
However, failure to purchase anything tends to bring about a complete mood change.
In fairness, if you go into the medina then you should expect to play by the locals' rules - and that means haggling. Also, the chances of being physically threatened are remote.
The best advice seems to be to firmly, but politely, tell shopkeepers that you are not interested and not to show any interest unless you're considering buying. Leave a Comment

Be sure to lock all your luggage. It is hard to replace large items of importance like a camera on a short trip. Be sure you are allowed to go to remote areas of the country to stay. Check your embassy or a Tunisian consulate at home. Don't drink the water from the taps or eat food that hasn't been cooked well. If you are near the desert or staying somewhere that critters can crawl in. Knock your shoes out in the morning before you put them on. Scorpions like to hide in them. Knock hard! They hang on well.

Don't count on the tourist information centre near Place du 7 Novembre - it was useless and unfriendly. Leave a Comment
