Je ne sais pas si c'est l'endroit pour poser une question de ce type mais bon j'aimerais avoir l'avis de voyageurs. Hier, j'ai regardé les infos et on y parlait de l'attentant au Maroc et d'une tentative en Tunisie ... Normalement je vais en Tunisie (Djerba) fin MAI avec ma femme et mes 2 enfants mais je me demande si le climat ne sera pas trop tendu et si ce n'est pas risqué. Vous me direz peut-etre que j'exagére mais bon vos avis m'interresse car je dois confirmer la reservation cette semaine.

Bonjour,
Je suis actuellement à Zarzis (sur le continent à côté de Djerba) je me sens en sécurité ;
La Tunisie est un pays sûr au point de vue sécurité.
Confirmez sans crainte votre séjour.
Bienvenue à Djerba

Bonjour,
Je ne suis pas d'accord avec toi.
Il y a des choses à voir et à faire en Tunisie, tout dépend des centres d'intererts de chacun. Si tu ne trouves pas ton bonheur dans ce pays, ça ne veux pas dire que le pays est nul🤪. Il y a 10 millons d'habitants, tu crois qu'ils s'ennuient tous et qu'ils ont tous envie de quitter le pays?
Sur un autre post, tu as envie de te casser, mais où? On a toujours l'impression que l'herbe est plus verte chez le voisin. Ce n'est pas vrai. Je me suis déjà cassé de ce pays et je suis revenu. Ailleurs ils n'ont pas nos problèmes, mais ils ont d'autres. Je te parle donc en connaissance de cause.

Contrairement à toi qui est tunisienne, je pense qu'il y a beaucoup à voir et à faire en Tunisie.
Je viens assez souvent dans ton pays pour commencer à l'aimer d'une autre façon. Nous sommes actuellement en cours d'installation d'une entreprise sur la zone de Sousse et je devrais me rendre là bas en fin mai, début juin.
Je vais tous les ans à Djerba pour me reposer et s'il est vrai que je ne quitte pas beaucoup l'hôtel durant cette période, je visite malgré tout le sud en louant un taxi à la journée.
Au cours de mes périples pour trouver un local afin de nous implanter, j'ai pu découvrir la Tunisie du travail, qui n'est tout de même pas un paradis mais n'est pas non plus le bagne. De nombreuses sociétés viennent s'implanter ici ce qui permet de créer de l'emploi et d'aider au développement économique. J'ai pu constater que les employés avaient une couverture sociale et une défense assez forte de leurs droits, ce qui est primordiale.
C'est toujours mieux ailleurs!! Je ne pense pas.

Le tunisie c'est pour moi surtout du repos, pour être avec mes enfants dans un lieu convivial et à prix abordable. Au niveau tourisme, je suis limité car avec deux enfants en bas age je ne vais pas partir au bout du monde. Il en faut pour tous et pour chaque age.
Je pense aussi que la tunisie est un pays sure mais ma femme a quelques réticence pour partir mais bon je crois qu'on va y aller l'esprit tranquille.
A Djerba tu seras "approché" par des rabatteurs qui te proposeront des tours en calèche ou bien d'assister à un mariage Berbère (entre autres, le mieux c'est de ne pas répondre et ils te laisseront tranquille. Si tu vas sur Houmt Souk, alors attends toi à la même chose dans le souk, c'est le paradis des arnaques en tous genres!!
Djerba est l'île des touristes et là, il faut savoir que le principal sport local c'est de tirer le maximun de Dinars des touristes, donc de toi. C'est le seul endroit avec Chenini où tu es sollicité à ce point, partout ailleurs c'est très calme. Je n'ai jamais eu de souci dans Sousse ou mon épouse et moi nous rentrons en général assez tard de dîner et à pied. Aucune agressivité, tu es en sécurité partout.
Va en congés le coeur tranquille, tu seras bien reçu et évite les rabatteurs 😉

Bonjour,
Comme Souihelienne, que je salue, je suis une habituée de Zarzis. J'y pars d'ailleurs cette après-midi pour 15 jours, c'est vous dire que je n'ai aucune crainte pour ma sécurité.
Rassurez votre épouse, je suis une femme seule et me sens bien plus en sécurité en Tunisie que dans certains quartiers de Bruxelles, ma ville natale, de Mons où j'habite, ou de toute autre ville belge ou française.
Je me promène seule en Tuniisie, depuis plus de 20 ans, à pieds ou en voiture, de jour comme de nuit, dans les villages comme dans les grandes villes. JAMAIS je n'ai eu la moindre inquiétude.
J'étais à Zarzis ...en septembre 2001, j'y suis retournée, quand les touristes n'y allaient plus, en janvier 2002 et en mai 2002 (après l'attentat de la Gribha, synagogue à Djerba: 13 morts). Je n'ai ressenti aucune tension même à cette époque. A mon retour...je me suis tordue la cheville dans les escalliers CHEZ MOI et ai dévallé ceux-ci pour m'ouvrir le front jusqu'à l'os, alors, les risques, croyez-moi, on en court tous les jours.
En Belgique, le climat politique est "serein" mais on a tué un jeune homme en pleine gare centrale à Bruxelles pour lui voler son MP3 il y a un an, un autre jeune à été tué à Gand, il y a 15 jours, pour une cigarette refusée. Une de mes clientes est tétraplégique depuis le jour où, il y a 6 mpis, elle a croisé sur sa route un gars qui l'a tabassée...parce qu'elle s'était garée sur la place de parking qu'il convoitait!! Ce genre de fait est inexistant en Tunisie.
La police est omniprésente et, comme on vous l'a dit, c'est un pays vraiment sûr pour les touristes.
Dernière chose, je partage l'avis de beaucoup sur le fait qu'il y a plein de chose à voir et à faire en Tunisie. Je ne suis pas maso, croyez le, et si j'y pars 4 x 15 jours par an, c'est parce que je m'y ressource dans un pays superbe au contact des tunisiens si chaleureux et que je découvre encore souvent plein de très belles choses.
Mais peut-être que, contrairement à Konchof, (A 27 ans, indiquer dans son "profil": occupation "en Tunisie RIEN" est éloquant. et triste), ai-je gardé, malgré mon âge, le plaisir de la découverte, le souhait de garder les yeux ouverts et du contact avec les habitants de ce pays. Allez vous faire une idée par vous-même. "Tout ce qui est excessif est insignifiant": c'est une maxime pleine de sagesse selon moi.
Bon, je file préparer ma valise et vous souhaite un excellent séjour dans ce beau pays.
Cordialement Alors partez en Tunisie sans aucune apréhension et passez d'excellentes vacances

Fin avril début mai, vous allez vous régaler avec des jus de fraises fraîches, des tartes aux fraises et des fraîses fraîches, évidemment et sans sucre (c'est meilleur). Les pêches sont aussi très bonnes en cette période, ainsi que les abricots, vraiment une très bonne idée que d'aller en Tunisie fin avril/début mai. La mer commence à bien se réchauffer et dans le sud c'est un plaisir que d'y plonger.
Bon voyage.

hi, I just wanted to know the exchange rate for euros in Tunisia, thanks
hi there, I’m heading to Tunisia 🙂 from April 27 to May 8 with my family. I’ve read through the various discussions about the country, but I’m still a bit unsure🤪: for currency exchange, I saw on the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs website that withdrawing currency with a bank card from ATMs is limited to 200 TND per week. There are four of us traveling by car, so that might be a bit tight! And it’s a hassle to carry a lot of cash, even if I’m not being paranoid! What do you all recommend?
Cheers,
Laurent.
Hi there,
I was wondering if it’s possible to join a group as a solo traveler with local agencies in Djanet for circuits like Tadrart, Essendilene, Sefar, or Tassili? If you have any agencies to recommend, I’d love to hear about them. I didn’t find any info on the forum. Best,

We're planning a 2-week trip in late February/early March for a road trip in the High Atlas with a rental car, and we'd love to avoid booking our accommodations in advance. Is that doable, easily manageable, or risky (are accommodations available, expensive, or not great)? Thanks for your tips!

Hi,
This autumn, we’re planning to explore the Oriental region and we’re wondering where the best place to land would be. We’ll have three weeks ahead of us and we’ll be renting a car.
Any tips would be much appreciated. Thanks.
Is there an official website or list of certified Egyptologist guides in Egypt? And most importantly, what are the normal prices for a full day or half day? There’s so much scamming and crazy pricing—depending on who you contact, it can range from simple to quadruple!!!!
Thanks
Hi everyone,
We're leaving in early October 2026 and planning to travel from the Aït Bougmez Valley ("Happy Valley") to Skoura/Ouarzazate via Demnate and the R307/N23 route.
Has anyone taken this road recently? Is it passable with a regular car (non-4x4), or is a 4x4 absolutely necessary? Are there any ongoing construction projects or degraded sections to be aware of?
Thanks in advance for your feedback!
Hello,
In September, my wife and I, along with another couple, will be traveling to Tunisia and staying at the Sheherasade Hotel near Sousse.

Hi there, 🙂
This autumn’s trip should be in Morocco—barring any geopolitical issues between now and then.
After many trips to the south of Fès, I’m giving the north a try.
My plan is roughly to do a road trip loop from Rabat back to Rabat, passing through Asilah, Tangier, Tétouan, Chefchaouen, Akchour, Fès, Meknès, and Volubilis.
That’s a lot of cities. Probably a bit too many for our taste—we usually prefer more isolated spots...
So I’m looking for tips on little backroads, secluded beaches, half-day hikes, and offbeat places.
If you’ve also got recommendations for accommodation... (We’re open to splurging over 100 € if it’s a real favorite.)
Feel free to think outside the box—this is an open-ended plan! !😉

Hello,
I’m looking for testimonials from Pieds-Noirs who have recently returned to Algeria.
There can’t be many left after 65 years of the country’s independence.
I’m planning to go back myself soon to reconnect with my roots... before I pass away...
I’ve started making a few pre-bookings for hotels and apartments to rent in Algiers. At first, I received friendly and welcoming responses. Then, when I mentioned I wanted to stay for two or three weeks—maybe even a month—explaining that my trip wouldn’t be strictly touristy but more of a pilgrimage to the places of my childhood, and that it would likely be a very emotional journey, I expected a positive and warm reaction to my approach. Instead, I suddenly stopped getting replies from the three or four people I’d contacted. So now I’m wondering about the reception former Pieds-Noirs can expect...
Anyone here who can share their experience of returning? I specified “recently” because it seems that right now, diplomatic relations between the two governments are extremely tense, not to say hostile... even if Macron claims otherwise...

Hello,
I’m traveling to Algeria from October 27 to November 16, 2026.
I’d love to hear from anyone who’s been through the process about the accommodation attestation required for the visa application:
- Does it need to cover the entire duration of the trip?
- Is this document mandatory for a hotel to rent a room?
- Is it checked during inspections?
- Is a hotel booking (e.g., via Booking.com) sufficient for the visa?
- If so, does it need to be paid in advance?
I plan to visit several cities and do one or more treks with a guide or agency. If you have any contacts you’d recommend, I’d be grateful!
Also, I’d love to share this trip with a companion who’s already done some traveling. We’d organize the journey together, of course.
Thanks for your feedback! Safe travels to all, Dom, Dijon, 64 years old

Hi there,
I’m leaving for Tunisia in five weeks for a full 15-day trip. I’ll be arriving in Monastir and departing from there as well.
I’d like to do a route that’s a bit different from my first stay, which was more focused on cities and culture (Tunis, Sousse, Kairouan, El Jem).
I’ll be getting around by public transport.
I’d like to head south toward Tozeur, and I saw that you can take a *louage* from Monastir to Sbeitla (2h30). I imagine it’s not too complicated to get to Tozeur from there afterward? The issue is the return trip to Monastir and safety in Sbeitla.
If this route seems too complicated, I might opt for Djerba instead, which looks simpler.
Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone,
Even though I come to Morocco four times a year, it’s been a long time since I’ve made the trip by car. I need to refresh my knowledge! I’ll be traveling in early October. I have a car that’s about 20 years old. The plan is to cross via Algeciras/Ceuta.
A few questions:
1) Does this crossing still exist? If so, do I need to buy the ticket in advance or on the spot? From whom? Any advice is welcome!
2) What documents are required for the car?
3) If anyone is making the trip around the same time, it could be fun to drive together 😊
I know there are experts on this forum.
Thanks in advance

Good evening, everyone!
I’m reaching out to gather your thoughts on an itinerary (10 days... or more?) I’d like to do at the beginning of June 🙂.
Just so you know, I’m planning to do this trip solo (25 years old), using only public transport and just a backpack. I’ve already been to Marrakech and climbed Mount Toubkal two years ago...
I’ll be arriving in Tangier. Day 1-2: Explore the city center, hike around Cap Spartel... Day 3: Stop in Tetouan Day 4-5-6: Chefchaouen and a day hike in the Rif Mountains Day 6-7: Discover the city of Fes (I’ve heard so many great things!!) Day 8: Stop in Meknes and possibly visit the historic site of Volubilis Day 9-10: Rabat (I’ve heard mixed things... some good, some bad) After that, I have the choice of heading back to Tangier for my return flight... or going down to Agadir (also a possible return flight) and extending my trip by 5 days :)
From what I can tell, everything is well connected by bus (CTM) or train (ONCF). Another question: Is the vibe in Moroccan youth hostels for meeting people the same as what you’d find in Western Europe?
Thanks in advance for your replies and your kindness! 😊

Tickets for entry to Majorelle Garden are only issued online via an official site
(though there are fraudulent sites out there). On the official site, they ask for legitimate info
(name, nationality, etc.). What made me go "hmm" was the request for both an email address
AND a password (with confirmation). Is this normal?
Thanks for your replies.
Hi there, a group of girlfriends and I are heading to Tunisia. We’d love to know how much cash we should bring for 6 days, considering everything’s already paid for at the hotel. Thanks for your tips!
Hi everyone! :)
I’m finalizing the loop I’d like to do in May over 13 days, starting and ending in Essaouira.
We’re planning to rent a vehicle and are pretty active—we’re not really into crowds (that’s why I’ve decided to skip Marrakech).

What do you think?
I aimed for an excursion to the Chigaga desert from M’Hamid because it seems less touristy and allows for a more compact loop. Is that a good idea? Is the drive to M’Hamid maybe too tedious?
Open to your great tips if there’s room for optimization!
All ears! :)
Thanks in advance and have a great day!

I’m finalizing the loop I’d like to do in May over 13 days, starting and ending in Essaouira.
We’re planning to rent a vehicle and are pretty active—we’re not really into crowds (that’s why I’ve decided to skip Marrakech).

A lot of people find it important to stick to their budget when traveling—not to skimp, but to visit as many places as possible since traveling is their hobby.
In this post, I want to share some tips for those coming to Morocco who want their trip to be budget-friendly.
1. Prebook everything: hotels or riads, car rentals, or tours. If you book these in advance, it’ll make your life easier. You won’t have to deal with hagglers or people trying to overcharge you for services that are available online for free. Use platforms like Booking, Expedia, carsrental.ma, Airbnb, and other booking services to get this done properly.
2. Exchange your money to Moroccan dirhams as soon as you land. 1 € is always a little over 10 dirhams, but many people get charged as if it were exactly 10 dirhams per euro.
3. When visiting an old site or the old medina, avoid talking to vendors and shop owners—they’re really good at getting your attention and making you overpay for things.
4. Ask your tour guide to buy things for you. Yes, they do get a commission, but you’ll probably pay way more if you buy something yourself that they can get cheaply.
5. Walk everywhere. You don’t need a taxi for every little trip. Pick a good location and walk—most Moroccan cities are safe during normal hours.
6. Buy your food, drinks, etc., from supermarkets at normal prices. They can’t overcharge you since they scan every product.
I think that’s it for now.
Take care

Hi everyone! 😊
We’re traveling as a family to Marrakech from April 19 to 24, and there’ll be 15 of us (all ages), staying in the Targa neighborhood (El Idrissi Street).
I’d love your advice on a few things! 🙏
🚗 Vehicle rental
We’re thinking of renting 3 cars. We’ve seen really low prices online, but often without insurance.
👉 Do you have any reliable contacts or personal experiences to share?
👉 Would you recommend getting specific “tourist” insurance?
🏛️ Visits – Bahia Palace & Saadian Tombs
We’d like to visit the Bahia Palace and the Saadian Tombs, but:
We can’t find single tickets online We only see guided tours with fixed times (like 9:30 AM / 4-hour tours)
👉 Do you know if it’s possible to book without a guide? 👉 Or do we have to buy tickets on-site? (We’re a little worried about crowds and lines, especially with older folks in the group.) 🍽️ Restaurants / meals We’ve spotted the Grand Bazaar Marrakech for a meal. 👉 Any thoughts? 👉 Could you recommend other restaurants in the same budget? (We’re a big group, so it needs to stay reasonable.) For lunch/snacks, we’ve seen:
Snack Toubkal Goûter Saveur
👉 If anyone’s been, I’d love your feedback! 😊 🛒 Practical info – Targa neighborhood We’ll be in Targa (El Idrissi Street). 👉 Are there shops nearby for quick groceries (breakfast, water, etc.)?
If you’ve got any great tips, contacts, or little tricks, I’d love to hear them! 😍 Thanks so much for your help! 💖

As-salamu alaykum!
We’re heading to Morocco as a family from April 22 to May 8. It’s a bit short to explore such a beautiful and vast country, but school and work commitments, you know how it is... My partner is a musician and absolutely loves Gnawa music. Unfortunately, we won’t have time to visit Essaouira, as we’re heading south toward the Valley of the Roses...
Do you know of any places around Marrakech, Ouarzazate, or Kelaat M’Gouna where we might have the chance to meet Gnawa musicians? We’ll also be staying a few days in Aït Benhaddou and Skoura during our trip toward the Dadès Valley. If you have any good spots to buy a guembri along the way, I’d love to hear about them too! :)
Thanks in advance for your tips!

Mid-May: arriving alone (so, a "petit taxi"?) at Marrakech airport around 4:30 PM,
is it advisable to take a taxi at the airport (cost?) or is it wiser to book one through the hotel before departure (which would cost me 20 €)?
I think I’ve seen lower fares elsewhere (12 €?).
Destination: Riad Sijane near Djemaa El Fna square. Thanks!
hi there
we’re heading to Hammamet in a few months
what would you recommend visiting for a week?
best regards
