The resorts of Tunisia a few years ago were considered very calm and safe, but after the terrorist attack on the beach in 2015, a trip to this country entails some risk.
Nevertheless, the resorts of Tunisia are still attractive due to relatively low prices, good climate and warm sea, especially considering that the Russians have lost the resorts of Egypt and Turkey.
One of the most popular resorts of Tunisia is a monastir lying on the shores of the Mediterranean. Beaches in monastics sandy and are among the best in the country.
Also in the monastics attracts the warm sea and the fact that in the summer there is always good weather there.
The disadvantages include the presence of jellyfish. This, of course, is not jellyfish of the Japanese sea, which leads to a temperature for several days, but the sensations are still very unpleasant. Well, another not very positive point is the presence on the beach of local residents, since according to the laws of Tunisia, the beaches are a common property and owners of hotels forbidden to prevent visits to the beaches adjacent to hotels, citizens of Tunisia.
Locals hinder that standing in the water, they, if you can put it, wait for the victims. It is worth a woman without a man to go into the sea, several Tunisians will go to her immediately. There will be nothing wrongful to do anything, but the woman, being surrounded by several outsiders, naturally experienced discomfort. And on the beach there are very small children of local residents and take things unattended. The administration of the beach they, of course, prevents, but it can not always keep track of children.
As for the city itself, he has a rather ancient history, the monument of which is the medina, the main value of which is the fortress of Ribat, built in the 8th century of our measure. Also, the attraction of Medina is the Habiba Burgibiba Mosque, built already in the 20th century.
As for the inhabitants of the monastiter, they are very, very annoying. There the people live extremely poorly and tries to earn on everything. It is impossible to step on the city step, so that you do not speak and did not offer any service or product. In the Museum, the Hôtel will be offered to take a picture on the background of the exhibit and then will extort money for it, the store will offer to show where the right product lies, and will extort money for it, and even the customs officer will extort money.
Buy in a monastir the original souvenir is a big problem, everywhere consumer industry, not carrying any information about the country. In stores, too, buy nothing, besides maybe wines. Some varieties of Tunisian wines are good enough. From excursions, interest can cause a trip to Sakhara.
That is, the monastir, it is a purely beach holiday, and not worth counting on special entertainment and shopping.
