Some helpful stuff here but the category is for the hotel only and you only need give minimal info about the area. BTW, I WOULD recommend the medina - it is safe and you are unlikely to get robbed. Tunisians are a very law-abiding people and it would be shameful to rob someone, especially a tourist. Also, the cafes are clean and no more likely to give you food poisoning than anywhere else in Tunisia or the world in general by fizzytom

I stayed at the Tej Marhaba in Sousse, in April with my mum and grandma. It did say 5* however the rep soon explained that Tunisia's 5* and the West's 5* are not the same, which I understood when I saw the rooms. Nevertheless, I have to say I enjoyed m ... Read review

Really enjoyed Tunisia - not surprised they've made a theme park as they'd got tourism down to a fine art with tours everywhere. Loved Sidi Bou Said best all the blue and white buildings and of course the Star Wars bar in the desert!! by catsholiday
