North Africa · Tunisia

Hi there! So, when you sometimes attend weddings over there, does the sound—like the tabl with the zokra, darbouka, bendir, mezoued, etc.—and the music played by the organist, sometimes accompanied by gunshots or those 8 huge firecrackers each, not just absolutely *destroy* your ears with how loud it is? Like, your spit practically flies out of your mouth so fast you could walk on Anis Zen’s stomach, right? I mean, do you ever cover your ears during these festive events? Because my brother’s getting ready for his wedding there this August, and I remember back in 2016, I *suffered* through my maternal uncle’s wedding—especially with the tabl, ugh. How do you all handle the noise? Do you just not worry about it too much? Have a great day! https://youtu.be/tH_IidGm_wg?si=nYUrlfgq7jkwiZRl

Hi there, I’m planning to spend 7 to 10 days in Monastir in mid-September, with half-board and a mid-range budget. Which hotels would you recommend? Thanks for your tips!

Hi there, new to this awesome forum—what a gem! I’m heading solo to Tunisia for 8 days in mid-September. I land in the late afternoon with Tunisair at Tunis-Carthage Airport. A few questions: what’s the cheapest way to get to downtown Tunis, where I need to book a night? Then the next day, I’m heading to Hammamet by *louage* from the Bab Alioua stop. I’ve planned 6 days at this seaside resort in a hotel with a pool. In the meantime, I might visit Nabeul and nearby Yasmine Hammamet, and also take a *louage* to Sidi Bou Said (Café des Délices, Café des Nattes), La Goulette, Carthage, and La Marsa. If you’ve got any ideas for sights, activities (quad biking?), or tips, I’m all ears. Thanks.

For the first quarter of 2026, I’m planning a 4x4 trip from France to Mongolia. I’ve got two route options: the safer one through the Balkans, Turkey, Georgia... to Mongolia, or the other via Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Georgia... to Mongolia. My question: Is it currently possible to cross Libya? Or are there ferries from Tunisia or Algeria to Egypt? I’m also looking for a travel companion. Thanks for your replies

Hi there,

We’re in the planning stages and wondering if there are any great 4x4 trails in Tunisia. Ideally, we’d love to find spots that are really off the beaten path and wild. We’re also curious if it’s possible to sleep under the stars in our 4x4 in safe and scenic spots.

Hi there, we found a local Tunisian agency for our 4x4 tours in southern Tunisia. This local agency in Djerba has great reviews online, and we’d like to confirm that it’s a top choice. So if anyone has already traveled with GSA-VOYAGES, we’d love to hear about your experiences. Thanks. Théodormonod

Hi, I’ve got a long morning in Tozeur in mid-April (I need to be at the airport by 2 p.m.). I’d like to visit the palmeraie and the main sights in Tozeur and the immediate surrounding area within a few kilometers. Looking for ideas and tips—what to see and how to do it? If needed, I can keep my rental car (or take a taxi). Thanks so much!

Hi, What are the entry conditions for Tunisia by boat with your own vehicle? I’ve read on several forums that you need to have a hotel reservation for the first night—or even for the entire stay—or they’ll send you back on the boat.

Can we do a Djerba to Tunis circuit in a week without any issues in November? Fred
