    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!

    very nice, you did very well, some taxis when they see tourists they can become selfish or try to gain money like the one who didn't want to put the meter on in tunis, you did a good video about my country and you did very well dealing with selfish people very nice, but though the majority of the taxis can ask for a little price (3 to 5 dinars) with anyone who has luggage to carry it's normal (like a payback because of the weight on his car because meter doesn't take this into account)

But yea the taxi drivers even I get scammed when I go to the center with my foreigner boyfriend and I'm a local lol
    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! 🙌

    Good job! I think that the "honest taxi driver'' tried to scam you but he failed thanks to you noticing the meter, He put a fixed 15 dinars price on it to fool you but when you told him to put the meter on his trick failed.
    One more thing, the "Louage driver" parking outside of the louage station was not trying to trick you, he was just doing illegal passenger picking, they usually take off before the louages in the station but this drivers don't want to wait in the line so they park outside and try to collect passangers.
