Good summer to all who are going on vacation to mysterious Africa!!!
Right to the main point! We arrived in Tunisia late in the evening, met well at the hotel - quickly settled in a normal room without additional payments, but after such a difficult and long enough journey (the flight was delayed in Moscow) they promised to feed, they say, "you stay in the room, and dinner we will bring you now ". . . we didn’t wait for the promised food, but it didn’t upset us much - we had to gnaw chocolates bought in duty free. We rested together - 2 young girls... This was our mistake... Without men, it's really uncomfortable. Obsessive Arabs did not give a pass. And about the security in the hotel, we even wanted to complain!! ! They constantly looked out of our windows, we even had to close the curtains, I’m already silent, that it was also not comfortable to sit on the terrace under their eyes and incomprehensible attempts to invite us somewhere, talk, etc. . The hotel is really very boring in the evenings . During our holiday there were only elderly French and Germans screaming at the whole beach!! ! I just wanted to shoot them! of the Russians, there were only 2 families with children. in the evening there was nothing left to do but smoke a hookah, drink something in a bar. We went to the city in the evenings to different restaurants... they are just great! very tasty, large portions and excellent service. Once we even got to a real Arab wedding . . it was beautiful. The restaurants constantly treated us to something, it was nice. We went on an excursion to Carthage - I advise everyone who loves ancient Roman history. We had an amazing Russian-speaking guide who has been living in Tunisia for many years. He told everything excitedly...
Their second state language is French, and even English is poorly understood in some places, but no one really knows a word of Russian . . it was difficult. The beach is normal... BUT... we felt worse than in Sochi! Someone is always selling something! Either bracelets, or cigarettes or sweet fruits. They even came up and woke us up so that we could buy something! It was some kind of nightmare! By the end of the holiday, the merchants were forbidden to enter the territory of the beach, but this did not stop them and they walked along the coast and yelled even louder! Total: on the one hand, screaming Germans - on the other, local sellers....a wonderful vacation !! ! In general, there are a lot of such stories, but I want to give advice to those who are going there: it is advisable for girls to go with guys, and choose another hotel, closer to the center, to all nightlife and civilized life! I rested quite a lot in all the famous resorts and always wanted to return, but if someday I fly to Tunisia, then definitely not to Shalimar.
