Hi there, I’ve traveled for work and taken several leisure trips with my late partner, and now friends are scarce at 74. I’d love to do more budget travel, either solo or with travel companions, but I don’t know where to start. Any help would be greatly appreciated! I’m from Quebec, Canada, and I speak French and a little English. Hervé

I just took a trip in Tunisia from Tozeur to Douz, skirting Chott el Jerid to the south. I’m back with the urge to keep going further south via the 4x4 tracks to connect Douz to Ksar Ghilane. Has anyone driven this route recently or explored southern Tunisia? Thanks for your tips! fix

Hi there, we're leaving on October 17th for 5 days. Arriving in Tunis. I'm looking into heading west toward Tabarka and the Kef region.

Itinerary:

- Bizerte and surroundings (Cap Negro, etc.)

- Kroumirie massif (2-day trek)

- Tabarka

- Then return via Dougga

- Possibly the Kef region.

Could you let me know if the area (Kroumirie / Tabarka) is still pleasant in mid-October or if it's already too late?

Also, what are the must-see spots I shouldn’t miss if I’ve forgotten any?

I see that the Kef region is interesting too—I’ll look into it more. All info is welcome!

Finally, depending on your feedback, maybe it’d be better to head toward Cap Bon or Sousse / Mahdia instead.

Hi everyone, I’m starting to look into small solo cruises, for now in November. It’s my first cruise, so I’m a bit nervous. Anyone potentially interested in 7 days in Italy, Tunisia, and Spain? If you’ve got any tips, I’d love to hear them. Looking forward to reading your replies

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.

Hello, I’m preparing for a Tunisia-Algeria road trip. I need to know if we can cross the Sahara to reach Djanet and Tamanrasset by road freely, After that, obviously off-road in the desert with a guide. What do the authorities say? My trip: northern and southern Tunisia, a stroll in the desert. Crossing the Tunisia-Algeria border via the Taleb Larbi customs. I’ve already done this route through an agency, but this time we want to do it on our own. Then heading down to Djanet for eight to fifteen days in the desert with Mouloud, a local guide. Direction Tamanrasset: road and tracks, the mountains of the Assekrem, the Hermitage of Père de Foucauld. Return via the Trans-Saharan Highway. Visit to northern Algeria, then back by boat from Oran to Spain. Dates: late December to mid-February. We’ve got plenty of time. If another crew is interested, we’re already two vehicles. Looking forward to your replies.
