Original post
Bonjour à tous les internautes, nous partons en Tunisie (2 personnes) à Hammamet hôtel Belisaire fin Août et nous souhaiterions savoir quelles sont les choses les plus intéressantes à visiter dans le coin (nous ne sommes pas des fous de la plage), si les bus et les taxis sont abordables et pas arnaqueurs, enfin s'il est possible de changer des euros sur place ? Il paraît que Hammamet même est déjà très intéressant... Merci d'avance si quelqu'un peut nous éclairer un peu, bien amicalement...
Bienvenue à Hammamet
Avant de partir, consultez mon blog personnel (non commercial) sur la ville :
http://dajpg.canalblog.com
pour avoir une petit idée sur Hammamet au quotidien.
Bon séjour parmi nous.
Je suis français résident à Hammamet
Concernant les transports en commun utilisez les "sans modération" et pour les taxis demandez toujours le prix au compteur.
Le change de vos euros pourra se faire à l'hôtel ou dans les banques. C'est le même taux officiel partout. Evitez toutefois le change dans les boutiques car le cours est parfois fantaisiste. Faites toujours vos achats en dinars tunisiens.
Bonnes vacances à HAmmamet

Hammamet est une tres belle ville mais assez petite. ceci dit en Taxi vous pouvez découvrir les alentours. les taxis fonctionnent avec un compteur donc le prix est clair et sans surprise (exemple: Hammamet-Nabeul max. 5 Dt= 5 Dinards= 5000 millimes environ 3 € attention 1 dinard vaut mille millimes vaut environ 0.60€) Dans un taxi on peut monter a maximun 4 personnes. les taxis sont faciles à trouver car ils sont tous jaunes. Les taxis jaunes ne peuvent pas sortir de leur région
A visiter en taxi Mardi Djedidi petit marché berbère
Jeudi marché Hammamet+ sa médina & ses souks
Vendredi marché de Nabeul ville de la ceramique,
de la poterie et des tailleurs de pierre ( vers la fin du marché)
également Hammamet Yasmine est son port de plaissance et sa médina "artificielle".
Sinon pour les autres sites il vaut mieux passer par les agences qui proposent toutes les mêmes excursions Tunis Carthage Sidi bou Said Le Cap Bon Kairouan Sousse Monastir ou pour les plus courageux une virée dans le désert. N'hésitez pas à m'en demander d'avantage...Je connais bien le monde du tourisme en tunisie Et bon voyage Amicalement votre

Bonjour,
je voudrais également demander des renseignements. je débarque Samedi en Tunisie (Nabeul).On m'a dit que c'est un petit village et que hammamet c'est mieux à visiter.nous sommes 4 personnes.quel est le moyen de transport le mieux adapté pour y aller.est ce possible de veiller trop tard à hammamet et de trouver du transport pour rentrer à Nabeul? est ce qu'il est déconseillé d'y aller le weekend pour manque de transport? je me souviens que les bus à Tunis étaient plein de voyous le dimanche, est ce la meme chose à hammamet?
je suis preneur de tout genre de conseil.
Merci,
amicalement,
Le meilleur moyen de transport est le Taxi jusqu'a 4 personnes. Nabeul et Hammamet sont séparé de 15 Km. Vous pouvez donc visiter les 2 villes.
Les Taxi travaillent 24/24 donc pas de probleme pour les sorties nocturnes. Au sud d'Hammamet (entre le vieille ville de H (sa médina et ses souks)et H Yasmine il ya la zone des noctambules a voir les boites Havana, Oasis Calypso, BritishBar....
Le soir les taxi sont majoré de 50 pourcent vous payez le montant indiqué sur le compteur
De votre Hotel jusqu'a la zone des noctambules max 20 dinars soit environ 12 euros pour vous 4. c'est pas cher
Pensez a visiter au moins Tunis Carthage Sidi Bou Said avec votre representant...
Bonnes Vacances
Puisqu'on parle de Nabeul, est ce que c'est intéressant à visiter, et sinon quels sont les coins à ne pas rater quand on n'a qu'une semaine à passer à Hammamet ? merci d'avance...
Bonjour,
Originaire de Tunisie et vivant en France voici mes réponses.
Les villes en Tunisie sont assez bien desservies du nord au sud.
Train + :pas cher, propre, climatisé et arrivé au centre de chaque grande ville :Trop lentAvion + :très rapide :loin des centres-villes et CHERTaxi : + :rapide, peu cher pour une petite course :cher pour les grande course (la capital Tunis)Location: + :simple de louer, prix moyen, bonne route et autoroute, liberté de temps et autonomie :Essence au même prix que la France.(demander la climatisation, lol)Petite navette(entre ville à ville) + :pas CHER du tout du tout et super populaire :Trop compliqué pour trouver la bonne direction. C’est le souk.Le Bus :+ Pas cher, climatisation
:- Lent
Pour conclure tout le monde comprends le Français, vous n'aurais donc aucun mal à vous faire comprendre, la signalisation routière et bien trop développée pour qu'on puisse vous balader. Prenez juste bien le temps de savoir ou vous allez exactement plan à la main. A vous Carthage, le vieux Tunis, La Marssa, Sidi bou said, Bizerte. (-de 20mn de Hammamet) Sinon plus au sud et par l'autoroute 100km et plus:Kairouan, Sousse(ma ville que j'adore) Monastir, le port El Kantaoui, El Jem.
Mais les Tunisiens sont des bons commerçants avant tout. On n’a pas de pétrole, mais on a plein de TOURISTES comme il dise et dans chaque hôtel sont organisé des sorties en groupe : les + :très bons moyens de partager de belles rencontres, de bons guides, rapide et en toute sécurité. Les - :un peu cher, et parfois il confonde Touriste avec mouton (et cela deviens la fête du mouton. lol)
Comme dans TOUT pays: Cacher toute objet de valeur dans la valise fermée avant de sortir de votre chambre. Et négocier les prix des souvenirs et les extras en excursion. Oublier les CONs et ne garder que le sourire des gens qui sont comme vous près à partage. (ce que je n'aime pas ce sont les vendeurs qui n'ont que 3 mois pour gagner assez d'argents pour tenir une année, et cela provoque bien trop d'abus et d'impolitesse) Bon voyage.

Bonjour,
La tunisie a un énorme avantage: c'est un petit pays tres bien déservie. Il est possible de faire le tour en une semaine...
Il est tres difficile de dire ce qui est interessant et ce qui ne l'est pas; car cela depend totalement des centre d'interet du visiteur. La tunisie est un pays au multiple facette. Vous pouvez passer 7 jours dans votre hotel à lézarder sur la plage. Ou passer 7 jours en balnéo. Ou partir a la rencontre d'un peuple souriant. Ou decouvrir l'histoire riche de ce pays.
Le mieux c'est de concillier le tout.
et quand on est sur hammamet cela vaut la peine de prendre un taxi pour decouvrir la ville de la ceramique le vendredi matin (marché de nabeul)
en tout cas merci à tout le monde d'avoir pris le temps de me répondre, c'est bien agréable, et si quelqu'un a d'autres idées pratiques ou lieux à visiter autour de Hammamet nous sommes preneurs, merci encore à tous... et bon mois d'Août !
un ami m'a parlé d'un grand park de loisirs:Carthage land, il est situé à Hammamet Yasmine. l'entrée est à 18 DT/personnes (10 euros environ) mais on a droit à tout les jeux pendant toute une journée de façon illimitée.il parait que c'est aussi amusant que disney land paris.donc, voilà un bon plan à partager.
Est ce que justement quelqu'un possède des infos sur cet endroit Carthage Land près d'Hammamet, est ce plus voué aux enfants, quelles sont les activités, est ce près de Hammamet ou faut il y aller en bus ou en taxi ? merci d'avance pour vos réponses, nous sommes preneurs de toutes infos concernant la région touristique...
Exact, c'est un parc de loisirs, entièrement réalisé par des compétances exclusivement Tunisiennes. Les enfants vont adorer et les adultes qui connaissent Dysneyland vont trouver ça "petit".

voilà, je rentre de tunisie. pour carthage land, ça vaut la peine d'y aller surtout si on a des enfants. par contre, le plus intéressant c'est l'endroit qui nous plonge dans le passé.autre chose, attention au prix dans les souks des produits de l'artisanat.les commerçants tunisiens sont plutot des voleurs(pas tous mais disons 90% des commerçants là bas)"mes respects aux tunisiens que je ne vise pas, j'ai bien dit commerçants".donc, si on vous divise pas le prix du souvenir par 4 ou 5, n'achetez pas (en fait, là bas les prix se négocient). je m'explique, la housse d'un pouf artisanale qui m'a plue était affiché à 75 dinars tunisiens(soit plus de 40 euros).j'ai trouvé ça cher et il ne vaut pas tellement d'y dépenser cette somme.un franco-algérien qui était avec moi dans le meme hotel m'a dit de ne pas l'acheter et qu'il va me le ramener à moins de 10 euros et effectivement, il est allé me l'acheter à 10DT (soit meme pas 6 euros).donc faites gaffe, on se fait plumer facilement, n'hésitez pas à demander le quart du prix ou moins (sauf pour petit produit à 1 ou 2 dt, c'est le bon enfin qu'on peut pas négocier). donc
il y'a aussi un joli parc au Sud d'El Hammamet, je ne l'ai pas visité mais j'en ai entendu beaucoup de bien, c'est le Parc Friguia où pluiseurs espèces d'animaux sauvages vivent en semi liberté.
Si tu es amateur de parc d'attraction, il y a Le Carthage Land.

celui qui vend est un voleur ou c'est celui qui achète qui est un couillon ?
Hammamet n'a rien à voir avec la tunisie profonde, louez une bagnole et sortez un peu…

je n'ai pas parlé de la tunisie profonde, j'ai dit que les commerçants de l'artisanat à nabeul, hammamet et Tunis et surement ailleurs cherchent à voler le touriste européen par n'importe quel moyen.je ne vois pas en quoi un touriste qui voit un prix affiché sur un objet est un couillon. le problème est dans celui qui affiche un prix 4 ou 5 fois plus que la valeure réelle dans le but d'extorquer de l'argent. j'ai été en algérie et jamais je n'ai vu ce phénomène. on ne court pas derrière les gens comme ça à Alger. et puis le couillon est celui qui voit que voler les gens de cette façon est une intelligence: quel culot!!!!
Dans ce cas fait le tour complet du Cap Bon, tu verras c'est magnifique ...
Tazerka, Qorba avant de rejoindre kelibia ... Nous avions vu des flamants roses au bord de l'eau l'an passé... Surtout ensuite, il y a les ruines puniques de Kerkouane, a ne rater sous aucun pretexte ...
Il y a aussi des vieilles carrieres qui se visitent en redescendant de l'autre coté du cap bon, je crois tout pres d'El Haouria ... Et surtout je te conseille d'aller mettre tes petits petons dans les sources d'eau chaudes de Korbous... Si ce n'est pas tres fréquenté tu verras c'est le paradis sur Terre... Les plus beaux paysages que j'ai vu dans le Nord de la Tunisie... Bon voyage...

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,
Fouzi

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.
We’d love to hear your recommendations or tips on places to visit, as well as advice on taxis or other transportation options.
Thanks in advance!

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.

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
Hi there,
I’m planning my next trip outside Europe for next year, but unfortunately, I don’t have a choice with the dates—it’s late June to early July. Last year, I went to Japan for three weeks, and it was constantly 36-37°C with over 90% humidity. It wasn’t easy, but it wasn’t impossible either.
For Egypt, I know it’s a period to avoid if possible, but I’m thinking that by the sea, it might be manageable. Otherwise, I’ll consider another destination.
Day 1: Arrival in Hurghada in the evening Day 2, 3, 4: Hurghada Day 5: Hurghada, then drive to Luxor in the early afternoon Day 6: Luxor Day 7: Luxor, then drive back to Hurghada in the late afternoon Day 8, 9, 10, 11: Hurghada Day 12: Return flight
For the Hurghada trip, either rent a car or—easier—a private car/van. Is it worth adding an extra day in Luxor?
During the stay, we’re planning activities like camel rides, quad biking, jeep tours, snorkeling, and jet skiing.
Thanks for your replies

Hi there,
We’re planning a trip to Morocco in September-October in our Fiat camper van, which isn’t a 4x4 but has already handled quite a bit of rough travel. While reading up on southern Morocco, we’ve been drawn to the Aguinane oasis but I’m having trouble locating it on the map. Is it possible to get there without a 4x4?
Thanks for your help
