Port El Kantaoui 9
I've been here many times and shall be going again next week (14/04/13) so that should say a lot. Use the prices at the hotel shop as a guide to the maximum you should pay for anything when haggling. Start at about 1/3 of the price asked in the shops outside and expect to go to about 1/2 to 2/3. It's a quiet place and Muslim so do not expect lots of bars at night with alcohol flowing free. There is an off licence near the entrance to the marina...it is NOT open on Friday!! Of course you can have a drink in any hotel. Entertainment is (to me) the way it used to be when I was a child and nicer for it. Very much like the parlour entertainment. English is widely spoken and if stuck use your schoolboy French. It will take you a long way.

Tunis 9
Our beautiful country is fligths by many fantastic tourisem places. The importance of Tunis dates from the Arab conquest when, as Carthage sank, Tunis took its place commercially and politically. It became Tunisia’s capital under the powerful Hafsid dynasty (13th–16th cent.), but the original town is much older.I t is really pretty there but i just really dont want to go back, i would rather go some where else!!!:)
