I have to go to Tunis for a few days next month on business. Anyone have any guidance on things to see, prices, shopping etc?

Hi Glenn I hope I am not too late, I just saw your posting.... I stayed in Tunis last year at the Hotel Africa (very nice)..The Souk is a great shopping experience, don't miss it..Try to get to see Hammamet, Sidi Bou Said, a beautiful city all white with blue trim to match the magnificent Medditeranian sea. The colliseum was mesmerizing, the second largest next to the one in Rome..The people were all warm and friendly. Feel free to PM me with any questions. I hope you enjoy it! Paula

I worked in Hammamet and i loved it but this was a few years ago when Yasmine was just being built. All the hotels were very nice when they were brand new (8 years ago). I believe Tunisia is a marmite resort (you either love it or hate it). Beaches are beautiful and weather really nice from april onwards. :beach: The medina is a bit crap but it's worth going into the town of Hammamet for a wander. Yasmine is about a 15 minute (cheap) taxi ride away. Don't go on the Bedouin Feast night it's a pile of crap. But if you are feeling adventurous then they do 2 day excursions down to the sahara which I really enjoyed.
