Tunesia - Djerba - Gabriella photo
1. The first-rate, fine Tunisian cuisine, the diverse ways they know how to prepare vegetables
2. One of the most educated people in the Arab world, locals are very welcoming
3. The country’s rich historical past (ancient ruins, medinas, etc.)
4. An affordable holiday destination
5. Matmáta is a must-see for Star Wars fans (many scenes, like those taking place at the Lars homestead, were shot here and at other locations in southern Tunisia in 1976)
6. Spectacular olive tree plantations, cactus fences
7. The mint teas, roasted peanuts, delicious dates
8. The white sand of Djerba
9. Unlike on the Turkish Riviera, many vacation hotels are close to shopping and entertainment areas
10. The elegant yacht port at Port El Kantaoui
1. A lot of trash along the country roads and close to the hotel areas (the hotel areas are clean)
2. Too many hotels were built in some areas (wild overdevelopment)
3. The hotel categories do not correspond to European standards (minus one star at least)
4. Many Tunisian young men seem to think tourist girls will fall for them (the frequent setbacks do not seem to discourage them in the least)
5. Many hotels are not renovated and disappoint vacationers
6. Jellyfish in the summer
7. When we were leaving and I had to exchange my remaining local money, the exchange rate at the airport was outrageous
8. The pushy salesmen repeating their bullshit lines like parrots
9. Mediocre food in many hotel restaurants
10. The unpleasant, pushy way some locals demand their tips
11. in Tunis, the bulging eyes of men staring at me, though my dress was not provoking at all
