    We weren't planning on visiting Sousse but had to break the journey up from north to south so here we are!
    Not a good first impression if we're being honest with you aha.
    On the plus side travelling across Tunisia is super easy and most people are bloody lovely! 🇹🇳

      Taxis are always like that even for locals they sometimes take the longer route to make you pare more
      And I think for luggage they add an extra 0.7 dt sometimes

      @@feridayadi1099 First of all, they are Tunisians, and in Tunisia there are only Tunisians, and I do not recognize Berbers or Arabs. Second, their features are Tunisian, and we all have similar features, and we do not resemble Arabs or Berbers. We Tunisians are only Carthaginians, and you are not Tunisian, and do not talk about Tunisians, and do not try to divide the one people. Finally, Sousse is a tourist area, and this is expected not only in Sousse, but in all tourist areas in Tunisia or outside it. Fraud exists all over the world, but at least Tunisia is a safe country, unlike many other tourist countries.

    As a tunisian, I'm really sorry about the behaviour of these taxi drivers, they do not represent us. Majority of tunisians are very welcoming and genuinely enjoy helping others.. I was really impressed with how you so quickly caught their scams and handled these situations tho. You handled it better than some locals would! It's like you have a natural scam detector haha really impressive. Anyway, welcome to Tunisia my brother, I hope you enjoy your time here!

    I wish beach comers from around the country were more caring about keeping the beach clean. Even us locals don't dare go to that beach in the summer, we go to less crowded beaches ! Overall i hope you will get to experience it better if you ever come again, i'd recommend spring time !

    I'm terribly sorry you had to go through that ordeal. Some taxi drivers can be rather dreadful, they treat locals the same way, if not worse!! Last time I was in Tunisia, my foreigner part of the family joined in. The extortion from taxi drivers and the harassment and aggression from sellers were truly embarrassing. At one point, in Hammamet Sud, we couldn't find a taxi willing to take us home. One driver bluntly told me it was because I was local and they preferred to charge higher fares to tourists. I ended up saying I would pay more either way just so we could go home.. It's ironic how they're actively contributing to ruining their own livelihoods. I apologize once more, and welcome to Tunisia! 🙌

I heard they use this systeme since it is a small city and there is not so much demand and long distance so taxi drivers invented this system 😅
