There are no traffic lights on the roads and the brakes of the local cars too, be careful to cross the road even at a pedestrian crossing, they will not let you through!

Remotes from TV and air conditioning can be taken on bail for 20 dinars. Don't forget to take the deposit back before you leave. There are not enough sockets in the room, only 1 tee + 1 socket in the toilet room, so stock up on tees. Cleaning in the rooms even for extra. bribe lousy. By the way, there was no hair dryer, no bath accessories (shampoo, gel, lotion) in the toilet room. Towels were changed constantly, but the cleanliness and freshness left much to be desired.

There is an entry for the Gala dinner - A la carte (Tunisian and Italian cuisine). Nothing worthwhile. Animation team of 15 people.
