Guide Books to Tunisia
If you’ve got a holiday planned to Hammamet or anywhere else in Tunisia then I highly recommend you get a guide book to take on your travels. There are quite a few available and I recommend either the Lonely Planet or the DK Eyewitness Travel Guide to Tunisia. Both have loads of great info which should help make your trip even more enjoyable.
Reasons to Get a Guide Book
Even if you are going on a package tour there are lots of good reasons to get a guide book before going on holiday. Here are some of the top benefits:
- Get to know the place before you arrive which will help you settle in and enjoy your holiday right from day one
- Learn the lingo: most guide books have a short dictionary and phrase book in them and although most people in Tunisia speak English knowing a few local words can help you out at the medina where the locals can get a bit pushy!
- Find out what attractions there are. This can be a great help once you arrive and the hotel starts trying to sell you day trips and excursions. Armed with your local guide book you can get the real info on which trips to do and how much you should pay and stop you getting ripped off.
- Avoid eating at the hotel every night. If you want to see the real Tunisia then head out for dinner in the evenings. Your guide book will tell you all you need to know to avoid getting that Hammamet Hangover the next day from a dodgy diner.
