Things to Do  

Book a tour to Tunis or the dessert

Book a tour to Tunis or the dessert, Tabarka

 nina_z Says:  There's not much to do in Tabarka but I'd suggest booking a few trips with the travel agency to Tunis, the capital city, or the dessert. I've heard that the dessert trip is an unforgettable experience from many people but we didn't have time for it, unfortunatelly.

Monoprix: The best wine of the region, Tabarka

Haggle when shopping it's a must!, Tabarka

 nina_z Says:  If you shop in Tunise on the street or in markets do haggle for a better price. You're expected to do so and you'll offend the shop keepers if you don't or be considered a stupid tourist as they'll rip you off your money. It's fun, just try it. Always make the shop keeper...

Not for women travellers!!!, Tabarka

 nina_z Says:  This is true for all Tunisia, if you're a women, you'll have a hard time being pestered by all the local men. We went with a girl friend and had to stay in the hotel most of the time and even there we weren't left alone by the waiters for example. The worst experience was a...
