Of course, dollars are prohibited in the country, you can leave small ones for a tip.

and as for shopping, it all depends on your taste - there are a lot of ceramics, camel souvenirs, etc. but be sure to bargain, sellers break prices 100 times higher than the face value and then start to exhaust you with trade :)

As for the bags :) I bought a couple. One has been worn for only a month and it is already possible to throw it away, but it's a pity - it's beautiful.

Personally, I brought a bunch of ceramic products :) It turned out to be a service! Cups, bowls, plates and even a traditional dish for couscous, mom now serves pilaf in it :) Everything is handmade, but it costs a penny!
Bags, slippers - the leather is good, it's made, sewn lousy, but it will last until the end of the season :)
"Wind Rose" - pleases the eye on your desktop! I brought all my friends as a souvenir! It was a joy :)))))))
A good hookah was taken with the help of a guide, not excursions in a store with fixed prices:) Have a good rest and don't forget to bargain;)

We bought dates, very tasty, not at all like ours. You can also buy cactus fruits. They are very sweet and not expensive. We bought 1kg for 3 dinars.

Well, olive oil, Tunnis is one of the world leaders in the production of high-quality olive oil (there are souvenir packages with ceramic bottles)

By the way, regarding dollars: upon arrival, you change them for Tunisian money, and back at the airport what is left back into dollars, it is forbidden to take out Tunisian money

The fruits of cacti, unfortunately, could not be tasted, as they ripen in September.

THE MOST OPTIMUM SOUVENIR FROM TUNISIA - CERAMICS, OLIVE OIL, LOCAL ALCOHOL (FUNNY WINE, DATE LIQUORS, BUKHA-ON THE LOVER), AND OF COURSE DATES. CARPETS IS BETTER TO BUY IN KEYROUAN, ALTHOUGH FROM THE GENERAL YOU CAN DELIVERY IT AND BY MAIL.

By the way, wine is delicious in Tunisia. I really liked the pink "Magon"

yes, we always brought a couple of bottles with us, but there is a small problem: Tunnis is an Islamic state and is subject to various religious holidays during which not a single gram of alcohol can be purchased for a month!!! I don’t remember the name of the holiday, but in November, in my opinion, it really was a problem to buy wine in supermarkets!

In duty free, upon returning home, you can buy wine. That's how we bought.

Comrade zorro76, do not get confused in the testimony and do not confuse the people! Perhaps we are talking about Ramadan, I mean for sure. But don't confuse tourists with locals. They - it is impossible theoretically, but very many - are abused. I've been to Ramadan twice, I've seen enough. Tourists can still buy alcohol at the general; in some, refrigerators and counters are covered with a blanket so that Allah does not see :)) But you should contact the cashier, say that you are leaving tomorrow, and I would like a souvenir - everything is opened and sold for you. And in order not to dry out there, you can take a parive with you ... alcohol addicts who drink every day on vacation ... But is this really a vacation?

comrade safsaf, I didn’t try to confuse anyone, but what I said above really takes place, while it was both in Djerba and in Hamamet (once again I repeat in the supermarkets where we visited there was no alcohol at all and no tearful persuasion helped, since the spouse speaks French), but you can always get out of the situation (there are duty free, a hotel, and underground shops), but I just warned people about this situation. And there is no difference between a local or a tourist - it is a holiday in the country and Allah forbids the mention and consumption of alcohol throughout the country. But no one died from this, and if you want alcohol, you can always find it :)

Let's do without the theory of fasting. . . I think so, Zorro has permanent data, if he doesn’t remember the name of this holiday. . . Sorry. . . Allah forbids not only on the territory of the country, but wherever the faithful are at the moment! (There is Allah, he is everywhere!) The rules for locals and tourists differ completely, otherwise Tunisians could forget about liberalism and tourism. It's good that 1 of you speaks French, which simplifies a lot of things. And if, in principle, there was no alcohol in that market, then why ask for it? I talked about the fact that the windows and refrigerators where alcohol is for sale are closed or covered - I observed this in Monastir, Sousse and Hammamet, but still there is no problem for non-Muslims to buy it. I personally don't use it at all, so I don't have this problem. And I liked to relax in Ramadan, as soon as rudeness or harassment, or some other impudence - immediately remind them that Ramamadan is a sin.. and you are the best guest, because you know and respect their traditions. And during dinner for 2 hours, all the Arabs disappear - that's when Tunisia becomes a wonderful country: Arabia - without Arabs. Super!
