Tunis Warnings Or Dangers Tips by barryg23 Top 5 Page for this destination

Taxi drivers at Tunis airport try to rip off first time visitors to Tunis. As soon as we left the terminal we were approached by a driver who followed us around and kept trying to get us to travel into the city with him. There is a bus service from the airport though we couldn't find where it left from so we decided to take a taxi. However, I would advise against getting in with anyone who approaches you and tries to offer a fee.

His first offer was 15D each. This quickly became 15 for two, in the end we got it down to 10 for two. This was still way over the odds as we discovered later when taking a taxi back to the airport from Tunis - it cost only 5 on that occasion. Our taxi driver also tried to recommend us a hotel but we were having none of that and we asked him to leave us on Avenue Bourguiba, the main street in the Ville Nouvelle.
