If your routes in Tunis are foreseen to pass through hilly areas or mountains, it is not recommended to consider very small cars for rental. Their engines are usually insufficient for a confident driving on the roads with long or steep climbs.

Detailed FAQ on the rental process

Driving Advices for Tunis – Traffic Regulations and Road Usage Peculiarities

Despite the fact that local police officers are rather strict and incorruptible, they treat foreign visitors correctly. Not all foreign drivers can quickly adapt to peculiarities of local roads, so minor violations can occur quite often. In most cases, foreign drivers are not punished for the first minor violation.

Drunk driving is considered a very serious violation. In addition to a heavy fine, the offender is likely to be imprisoned. During your stay in the country it is recommended to stop consuming alcoholic beverages. The police pay no attention to the driver’s nationality, so they can easily imprison a foreign driver.

There is an interesting rule regarding female drivers. In Tunisia, male policemen have no right to stop them. Only female police officers are allowed to check the vehicle if it’s driven by a woman.

Sightseeing of Djerba Island, Tunisia

Djerba Island: topics

It’s not ok to elevate the voice on other people here on the island. Locals are rather calm, poised, and friendly – especially to foreigners. But almost nobody speaks English here; you would rather meet those locals who know French. On the other hand, in case if you have some communication problems owing to the language barrier, you can ask policemen to help you, as they – especially those who work in the touristic points – speak English pretty well and would be glad to help. Here on Djerba Island people always greet each other entering public places (e.g. pubs, shops, restaurants, etc.). And it doesn’t even matter what language you speak – you’ll be understood anyway. Another important fact that you have to keep in your mind is that the conflict between Jews – who have been inhabiting the island since the ancient times – and Muslims has deteriorated, so conversations about religion are not welcome.

The best time for a journey to Djerba Island is during the huge Ulysse Festival which takes place at the end of July – the beginning of August. Diverse concerts and theater performances can be seen on special platforms or just right on the streets. Foreign guests, including various performers from France and the mainland Tunisia, come to the island. One of the most fascinating shows is dance battles. Teams from all over the world participate in it. What is more, people here actively celebrate New Year, Tunisian Independence Day, International Youth Day, Martyrs’ Day, International Workers' Day, Tunisia National Day, and International Women’s Day too.
