Overview
Tunisia is one of the more affordable destinations in the Mediterranean, with food, transport, and accommodations costing significantly less than European counterparts. Local markets, shared louages (minibuses), and guesthouses keep costs low for budget travelers, while mid-range and luxury options have grown considerably around coastal resort areas like Hammamet and Djerba. The Tunisian dinar's relatively low exchange rate against the USD benefits international visitors.
Notes
Use shared louages instead of taxis for intercity travel as they are far cheaper and a great local experience; also eat at medina restaurants and street stalls rather than hotel dining to cut food costs dramatically.
