    Sfaxians are very very kind people. They are modest and welcoming. They always had the best scores of high school graduation because for them education is sacred
    Undoubtedly they have the best cooking in whole Tunisia.
    Bless their hearts !

    Great video Mr Chris.
    I hope you enjoyed your visit to my city Sfax.
    The best time to visit Sfax is between November and March : you can assist to the olives harvesting and you can see flamingos near the coast.
    Also Sfax is known as the best culinary experience in Tunisia.

    Gosh, I wish I could meet you here. I'm "Sfaxian" and I go there to the Medina almost everyday to catch the bus, to go to college.
    About taxis, Sfax has its own system. Since Sfax is made of a center (the Medina) and streets going from it like rays, there are taxis that fill all the seats (four people) and drives in one direction. There, you stop on the side, no matter where actually want to go, and pays him a little fee.
    Another system is the "compteur". You take a taxi that will take you wherever you want, but it'll count to you the fee you're going to pay. It's much more expensive than the first one.
    If you're still in Sfax by chance, let me know. I can meet you.
    I'm glad to see that you loved the city, because I honestly don't 😅

    • @ChrisKermis
      @ChrisKermis  11 місяців тому +4

      @@triathleteuk It's a fine city. Not that touristic, not that clean. There's aren't lots of places to go out to. Maybe you'd like it of it's not that touristic. Water cuts off from time to time, especially at night (9, 10 pm). Chris' video basically covered it all. Health departments suck (but free), and that's why elderly stand in the morning in a long line in front of hospitals. There's a simple unhurtful problem that appeared several months ago, is that people from middle Africa immigrated to Tunisia, through Sfax, intending to keep travelling to Europe (of course illegaly), but they found themselves stuck here (according to my info). So, it's normal to see people sitting around in streets, especially in the Medina, around 7, 7:30 am. Another problem: simple food (milk, coffee, sugar, flour...) don't exist in markets. Why? No idea. I just get so excited when someone brings a bottle of milk or two when coming home. Maybe I don't like Sfax becuase I'm ungrateful or affected by other people's opinion. It's not that bad, but if I had a choice, I wouldn't live here. There are much better places. However, come and take a look anyway! If you need a local with fluent English, I can help. I basically go to the Medina everyday to go to school. I don't mind accompanying you for some time.

Amazing sights and history of course, but so much hassle. I liked Cairo the best - aside from the pyramids it’s a big enough city that you’re mostly just left alone.
