Pizza prices start at 10 dinars, and for seafood dishes, prepared the Tunisian way, you pay from 14 dinars and up. Kebabs and wraps can be ordered for 6-8 dinars. In nearby Monastir you pay quite similarly for lunch. Salads cost 12-20 dinars, pizza prices start at 14 DT. Casseroles cost about 17-25 dinars, paella 29 dinars, risotto about 22-25 dinars.

What are the prices of accommodation in Tunisia?

Rooms in a good hotel can be found for as little as 30-40 euros. In 5-star hotels, such as Concorde Les Berges Du Lac, prices per night start at 100 euros, and in the most luxurious resorts right by the sea a day’s stay costs about 200 euros or more. However, in the most popular resorts it is possible to find much cheaper accommodations, in decent standard and very close to the sea.

2-star hotels cost about 20 euros per night, but you have to reckon with the fact that they do not offer too many comforts. It is also worth bearing in mind that hotels in Tunisia are of a slightly lower standard, and when evaluating an offer you should deduct one star to compare with European hotels. You can count on good conditions in 4-star hotels, such as Hannibal Palace in Sousse, where a night costs about 60 euros. 3-star hotels, such as Dar Hkaiem, charge about 45 euros per night. In Al Mahdijja, renting a room in a private villa will cost 60-90 euros, depending on the standard, and in 3-star hotels right next to the marina, such as in Dar Al Madina, you pay about 100 euros per night.

The Sahel metro, which runs between Sousse and Mahdia, with stops in Monastir, Moknine and Bouhjar, among others, is a bit more expensive, with a fare of 2.40 dinars for the entire route.Public transportation is rather safe, although buses and subways can sometimes be crowded, and public transportation does not always run according to the schedule given at the stops.

You can also use private buses and cabs.They cost more than city buses, but provide more freedom of travel.The fare should be agreed before the course starts – for some services, prices in Tunisia are not fixed, but must be negotiated. If you plan to fly with a small child, it is worth renting a car at the airport, as not every hotel provides its own transportation from the airport to the resort.
