Tunis, and the tax on top
The per-night tourist tax is per person, is not in the rate you booked, and is collected in dinars at the desk.
The tax, again, because it is charged at check-in
- 8 TND per person per night at 3-star hotels, 12 TND at 4 and 5-star, up to a maximum of ten nights.
- It is paid on arrival, and it cannot be reclaimed if you leave early.
Where the arrival lands you
- Tunis Carthage is close to the city, so an airport-area hotel is not a category here the way it is elsewhere.
- The medina is where you came to stay and not where you want to arrive at midnight. Its streets are not addressed in a way a driver can find in the dark.
- Lac 1 and Lac 2, on the way in from the airport, are where the business hotels are, and a reasonable place to lose one night.
- Sidi Bou Said and La Marsa are on the TGM line from Tunis Marine, which the airport bus connects to.
Booking practicalities
- Confirm whether the property takes cards. Small guesthouses often do not, and you cannot arrive with dinars.
- Dress modestly outside resorts, particularly during Ramadan, and at religious sites everywhere.
