thats another must do on the list , really need 2 weeks for all i want to see and do , other than that i better not come on here any more until after i have been
don think i can do that though

I've done it both ways, first time on an organised day trip with the rep, including Tunis for the Bardo Museum, Carthage, and Sidi Bou Said and I think we might have been to El Djem on the same trip but I can't remember now as it was some years ago. Another time I joined up with some others from the hotel and used a mixture of trains, louage and taxis to visit Tunis, Nabuel and Sidi Bou Said. If there are three or four of you it might be worth negotiating to hire a taxi and driver for a day.

You must try and see the Mausoleum of the late President at Monastir as it is absolutely breathtaking. Monastir itself is worth a visit as it is a different atmosphere from Sousse or PEK and you can get the train from Sousse quite easily. I actually think you will need to seriously consider going back again next year as there is no way you will fit in half of what you want to do in a week.

Are you finding yourself becoming a little addicted to the Tunisian forum? Because I think I am! I won't be back to Tunisia until next year and still I find I can't turn on the laptop without checking out holidaytruths lol

Now that you mention it i think our trip included Tunis and the Bardo musem as well as Sidi Bou Said and Carthage.

So Llindy have you started pricing next years holiday to Tunisia so you can do all those trips you want? lol

Aslemma. Thanks again for that info. ScubaLeanna. Yes. totally addicted. Checking a few times every day and disappointed if there are no new postings, but I'm like this every time I go on holiday.

I fully agree with you aslemma a trip to the Bourguiba mausoleum is a must.

Hi,Kiltman. Great photos. I'm taking notes of all these "must sees" and have a book full of interesting places to visit. Roll on the holidays and thanks for advice.

Digby I still think El Djem was my favourite



Perhaps a bit strange but I found the cemetery beside the Bourguiba Mausoleum in Monastir visually amazing with all the white tombs / graves



Digby there are so many fascinating places for you to see and people to meet that you will have to back again.

Kiltman. How fantastic all these photos are. Will never manage to see everything. Thanks again for your help. Brilliant!

You might like a look at the train timetable if you want to explore independently:
