The Markets in Tozeur: Ceramics are a great deal

by kazander

I did most of my "souveneir " shopping in Tozeur. It was one of the last cities we visited so it made sense to buy it there rather than lug extra stuff all over the country with us! There is an area along the same road as many of the hotels that has a bunch of shops all in a row. I believe they call this area the zone touristique. The best deal by far, was for the pottery products. Bowls and dishes and pitchers all painted with beautiful designs. The bowl I bought was all of 2 dinars! ($2 about) The other thing I bought was a carved wooden chess set which was about 20 dinars. You must bargin or you will be ripped off! I wanted a bracelet and the 1st price given to me was 35 dinars! I talked him down to the 5 dinars it was worth.

Tunisian music CD's

by call_me_rhia

Some contemporary names to watch out for are: Badra Jerjisi, Lotfi Bouchnek, Anouar Braham, Mohammed Zine El Abidine, Latifa Arfaoui, Amina Fakhet, Sofia Sadek, Dhikra Mohammed, Chokri Bouzaine, Noureddine El Beji, Saber Rebai 5-10 dinars - even for CD's you have to bargain a little bit.

Ehemmm . . .

Welcome to the “Boulevard de la Contrabande” ! We are talking about the main road which follows the coast from Libya to Tunis (picture 4). This road is full of stalls selling different things like dates’ juice or pending death beasts (picture 3) but the star of the road is without any doubt the Libyan Oil introduced to the country let’s say. . . “à la légère”. I don’t know which name it has in Tunisia but in Europe this is clearly smuggling! I forgot for a while the Rule Number One to Survive in Tunisia when I saw a policeman talking to a stall seller and I asked to a local friend how could police allow that situation. He told us that the South of Tunisia is so poor that if they prohibit the sale of Libyan Oil it will be a national revolution! So this smuggling is “tolerated” only until Sfax . . . Well, at least all these cans make the road more colorful . . . :-) Ah! That word...

Kairouan Carpets

by Elisabcn

Kairouan carpets are the most renowned carpets in Tunisia. You can recognise them by its kind of point and by their typical hexagonal designs in the centre. In Kairouan you will find a lot of shops selling carpets, usually inside rich villas in the centre of the medina, like the one on the picture. So if you want to buy a carpet from Tunisia, go to Kairouan.

Shopping in Tunisia

by Elisabcn

Of course ill update this tip as soon as i do more mini trips around the country :-D-I like the bracelets of the old medina in Tunis-I don't like the stuff sold in Sidi Bou Said shops. And they are more expensive than in other places!!!-In Monastir's Medina there is a very big big shop selling all kind of souvenirs and local craft. It was the place where i found more selection of everything-Nabeul is famous for its pottery; Nabeul's Market is on Friday-If you want to buy a carpet go to Kairouan; kairouan's carpets are the most renowned carpets in Tunisia-There is nothing to buy in BizerteBe wise! Things like chicha, sculptures etc are found everywhere so its better to buy them at the end of the trip, otherwise you’ll have to carry them during all the trip :-(((Aahahahah unfortunately I could tell you about other kind of markets here in Tunisia where I almost have a fidelity card but i...

Sand roses, minerals and other smiling stones

by Elisabcn

West of Tunisia is a paradise. It is amazing what nature has created in this area: canyons, desert, green mountains and valleys, turquoise lakes, oases. . . Talking about “shopping” here you will find a lot of stalls selling sand roses, minerals and other smiling stones . Usually the sand rose (picture 2) is the star for tourists, some of them are huge and very spectacular, but Geology lovers can also find other interesting stuff like geodes (my friends almost got a heart attack when they saw some of them painted in violet!) and silex nodules (or dinosaur’s eggs or meteorites depending on the seller that you meet) (picture 3) . Of course you can find these things in Europe but in Tunisia they are cheaper (and more beautiful :-) )

Local Store: Daily shopping

by csordila

Tunisian commerce has evolved and has adapted to modern ways such as selfservice, where the prices are fixed.The Tunisian dinar is not like the dollar or pound seperated in 100's but in 1000's. 1 Dinar = 1000 Millimes. The Tunisian money is not allowed to be taken out of the country. The Tunisian dinar is mostly : 1 Dinar = 0,65 - 0,70 US $ . You can change money everywhere in Tunisia. Because the money is not always free for rechanging the major Credit cards can be used in hotels. Because shops don't always have change, you should have enough. .Here are some examples of fixed prizes: The Celtia (Local Brew) beer 0,25 liter 1,00 TND Draft beer: 4 TND / 0.5 L in hotel, TND 2,20 / 4 dl in brasserieBottle of Boukha (fig brandy) 1 liter: 28 TNDBottle of Thibarine (herbal liqueur) 0.70 L 7.5 Euro on airport Bottle of Arak (anise-flavour brandy),Bottle of Coke 1,5 liter 0,60 TND Bottle of...

Carpets!: Tunisia's carpet capital

by Willettsworld

Kairouan is the carpet capital of Tunisia and the main area of Ave 7 Novembre in the Medina is the place you should head to if you want to see/buy them. There are also loads on display in the Maison du Gouverneur which is a museum that doubles as a carpet shop.

Medina's: Haggle hard!

by Willettsworld

If you're after souvenirs then you should head for the Medina, especially the narrow alleyways that run from the Bab el Bhar in Tunis at the Medina's eastern entrance. You can buy all sorts of stuff such as brass plates, clothes, shoes, porcelain plates and bowls, leather goods etc. Most of it is pretty tacky but there are some nice items. I have to say that the Medina in Sousse in better as it sells fruit and vegetables as well. As you're a tourist, you'll be easily spotted by the guys standing outside their shops who will call to you and offer you their best prices etc so this can be quite intimidating. Take care of yourself and remember to haggle hard!

sousse centre: goverment shops

by smithy65

these shops can be found in the main tourist areas of tunisia and sell a wide and varied range of gifts, jewelry, clothes, etc.they are air conditioned buildings.clean and airy. you do not get hassled at all, it is not allowed.they sell good quality gear and you probably will pay what you could haggle a market trader down to if not less for better, well packaged, often gift-wrapped stuff. all sorts of local crafts, glass, bongs, beadwork, leather, candles, figurines, handbags.etc. what you spend is really up to you. these shops offer good value for money and i personally according to my husband spent way to much, no surprise there then. more like just bought a few to many things, prices were good. you know how it is, err, that will never fit in the cases and watch the weight... moan , moan.
