Product Description

Product Description

The Rough Guide to Tunisia is the definitive guide to this fascinating North African country. The guide includes a full-colour 24-page introduction to Tunisia's highlights, from the mile-long beaches of the mediterranean coast to the fortified Kasbahs of the mountainous interior and the Saharan oases towns. The guide gives lively accounts of all the sights, from Roman remains and Islamic monuments to the ancient Medinas of Tunis, Sfax and Sousse. There is comprehensive coverage of the resorts - Hammamet, Sousse and Port el Kantaoui with details of their beaches and the best excursions to the surrounding mountains and deserts. For each city, town and village there are in-depth reviews of the best places to stay, eat, shop and haggle. The authors also provide authoritative background on the country's history, religious and social traditions, wildlife, architecture and its use as a location for films such as 'The Life of Brian' and 'Star Wars'.

4.0 out of 5 stars Worth far more than you'll pay for it., 10 April 2005
By A Reader (High Wycombe United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
My other review was not of this edition, but of a previous edition, which was still being sold when it was very out of date.

This book helped us travel all around Northern Tunisia as well as helping us survive the south - almost like two different countries, incidentally.

Excellent on hotels. Excellent on street maps. Very good on public transport. Misinformed on road rules. (I drove 850 Kms and didn't find a single roundabout where the give way rules differed from England.)

Seems to be misinformed about women's place in society. The articles by women about how repressive Tunisia is seem to be from 1990 - possibly earlier. We didn't see any examples of women being harrassed. (We were not in 'tourist areas' very much). In fact, men were especially polite and friendly to my wife. We saw young couple behaving the way they do anywhere in the world and girls dressed in the usual modern skin tight jeans and tee shirts. As I say, we never saw any of them hassled.

Overall, a very useful guide for travelling in Tunisia.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great guide to places to see, stay, and eat., 3 Sep 1999
By A Customer
The Rough Guide to Tunisia gives accurate information on the culture and customs of the Tunisian people. From limited usage of it, it appears to state very accurately what is, and what is not worth seeing. There is a good section on transport throughout the country, and each Town listed has hotels listed as well as places to eat, with a guide as to what the cost is likely to be (non specific, just expensive/cheap.) A very useful companion to have with you when visiting the country.

5.0 out of 5 stars very extensive work, 20 April 2004
afetr 8 days runnign up and down the country, i`d give a very good ratingto this guide as it provides a very good insight in what is worth seeingor not. i really appreciated the extensive description of the roman sitesand the Tunis Medina. i sometimes even found it too complete. the travelinformations are very accurate and helped greatly to move around thecountry. A must to have if you plan a trip to Tunisia.
