Travel Advice: Tunisia
Ssup Lads
We are organising a 12 day trip to Tunisia in September, arriving in Tunis through a ferry from mainland Europe.
Our trip will be a loop down through Mahdia, Sfax, Matmata, Douiret, Ksar Ghilan to Douz, Tozeur and then heading north back to the capital. We were initially planning to pass through the Chambi area close to Kasserine, but that has enough red written all over it for us to already take it out of our itenerary
Now, like anyone who has travelled in different regions knows how exaggerated government travel advices are sometimes.
Does anyone or is there anyone there at the moment, who really knows how it is right now?
Any input would be greatly appreciated as we have already bought the ferry tickets and will be paying for some accommodation aswel.
Cheers Guys,
Ride Safe,
Chris

You can go around Kasserine, just don't stop. This region is indeed a bit hot. You can visit the roman ruins in Sbeitla though. And don't forget the Pista Rommel in Redeyef. And go to El Jem to visit probably the best preserved coliseum in the world. Did I mention Kairouan for its oldest mosque in North Africa (year 670) or La Ghriba on the Isle of Djerba, Africa's oldest Synagogue built in the 5th century BEFORE JC.
There's a small Berbère "museum" in Tamezret, a small town south of Matmata, well worth visiting if you are interested in the Berbere civilization, well before the Arab invasion.
In Douz, camp downtown at Camping Desert Club. Walking distance from restaurants.
Then ride across the dunes to Ksar Ghilane, and camp there for free in the dunes.
Rr get there thru the paved road. From Ksar Ghilane, head East toward Tataouine

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
