Nagel Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Tunisia is a nice place. When I went we did a tour around the desert which was really good. It didn't seem unsafe when we were walking around. As with anywhere you need to take precautions. The police look after tourists and are under instructions not to give them a hard time. Me and two work colleagues got stopped whilst driving totally blotto after many bottles of wine down a one way street in the centre of Hammamet ( I hasten to point out I wasn't the driver). Because we weren't Tunisian the police assumed we were tourists. The cops pulled up on big motorbikes, one on each side of us and we though "oh **** we're doomed". Instead of a trip to the police cells, the very friendly police kindly pointed out that we were driving the wrong way down the street and gave us directions back to where we were staying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its an All Inclusive deal to Hammamet. Could I ask you, were there any females in your group? And did they get any hassle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll enjoy it Ali, but it's for certain you'll get hassle - even more so if you have blonde hair. But don't let it put you off, it wouldn't stop me from going back at all. I stayed in Sousse all inclusive. The hotel was gorgeous - right on the beach! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

themissis Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 <REMOVED>. Me and daughter both blondes:( Don't worry about the male attention, really. A polite but firm 'no thank you' is all that's needed. Me and my son have travelled all over the world, you get male attention in most muslem countries, it's the culture......Dubai and isreal being by far worse for it than anywhere else we've been,, but honestly a polite firm no thank you, said with a friendly smile always works. Go,, be open minded.. Its not spain, enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right - think of them as red coats at Butlins but in a more exotic place :hihi: Me and my mate went to the souk & they were a pain trying to get us to go in their shops to buy something. In the end my mate was so fed up she turned round to one of them and tried to sell him her £1.99 sunglasses for 100 dinar! His face was a picture! They left us alone after that! I think the thing to remember as a woman in muslim countries is not to go walk-abouts in skimpy clothes showing cleavage unless you really do want to be leered at. Save the bikinis for the hotel. Im sure you'll enjoy it and have a laugh!
