Tunisia is a country to discover but outside the tourist circuits or out of season.
Djerba is an island that allows you to get an idea of this great difference between the tourist areas where money is more present in contrast with the existing poverty on Houmt Souk. Djerba is also the island with many taxis. You cannot walk down a road without seeing many taxis pull up. In addition, do not hesitate to hire the services of a taxi for the day to show you around the island. The bus tour offered in almost all hotels is mainly for tourists.

From Hammamet, take a getaway to Tunis to discover the souk (you have to haggle, it's tradition) and take a trip to the Bardo National Museum, it's worth the detour. You have some pictures. On some, I deliberately forced the contrast to bring out the patterns and colors. Some frescoes are also not reconstituted as you will discover. You can also go to Sidi-Bou-Said for a coffee.

A huge country that will please everyone. Beach lovers will find their happiness with its exceptional sunshine or its immense desert conducive to cool but starry nights. History buffs will also be delighted by the impressive sites.

Tunisia, a Maghreb country, is the cradle of the Carthaginian civilization which reached its peak in the 3rd century BC. BC, before becoming a province of the Roman Empire. Long called "Regency of Tunis", especially under Ottoman domination, it passed under French protectorate in 1881 with the signing of the Treaty of Bardo.
After its independence in 1956, it first became a constitutional monarchy then, in 1957, a republic. The 1st president modernizes the country he led for thirty years, marked at the end by clientelism and the rise of Islamism. The 2nd president pursues his policy but corruption has increased and the "Arab Spring" of 2011 drove him out of the country. Several presidents succeeded each other but the discontent of Tunisian youth resumed in 2018. The Arab Spring, as well as waves of Islamist attacks unfortunately caused a sharp drop in tourism, a key element of the country's economy.
