Stories from Tunis

The blog is where Tunis Trip steps back from strict planning logistics and covers the questions that shape how a trip actually feels, written with the same honest, no-fluff approach as the rest of the site. It opens with the broad orientation pieces — things to know before visiting Tunis, and a direct look at whether Tunis is expensive, which stays qualitative rather than inventing specific dinar figures: budget travel using local eateries and public transport is genuinely achievable, mid-range comfort with sit-down restaurants and the occasional taxi costs more, and a Tunis-versus-Marrakech comparison helps travellers weighing the two cities against each other.

Safety and etiquette get serious treatment: a solo travel guide covers what Tunis actually offers in terms of everyday caution, particularly around unlicensed guides near major sites who sometimes pressure visitors into paid detours, and an etiquette-mistakes piece covers habits worth unlearning, such as dressing modestly around mosques and in the medina, greeting shopkeepers before bargaining, and being mindful about eating or drinking in public during Ramadan.

Food and culture pieces make up a large share of the blog: a Tunis street food guide covering brik and couscous beyond the tourist restaurants, a café culture piece on the city's tea houses and the ritual of mint tea, and a medina wandering guide that treats getting lost in the souks as part of the experience rather than a problem to avoid. A best-time-to-visit piece pulls together the seasonal picture in one place: spring and autumn as the strongest overall windows for mild weather, summer heat that's demanding everywhere and especially in the Sahara, and Ramadan's effect on daily rhythm across the whole country.

None of the blog content replaces the destination or guide pages — it's meant to be read for context and reassurance before or during a trip, answering the softer questions a strict itinerary or logistics guide doesn't cover.
