stay away from this area

I must let you know that the monastir area is now dying, i mean hotels are closing and the nightlife is so poor that once in your bed you think about how to get away from this mess.Few things to do actually... the presidential palace obviously, the medina is just a big mall where you got harrassed by the locals trying to get every single dinar you have in your pocket, very annoying.The seaside is quite dirty and you'll enjoy staying next to the pool.
