We are going to Hammamet Tunisia in a weeks time. Any places a 'must see' what about local car hire?

My recommendation would be to see your rep at the hotel and they will arrange a driver for you its about 67 Dinars a day. Emergency number for what? I have been to Tunisia many times and I have never used a phone never mind had need of an emergency number? Do you mean the police etc? That is 197 but the person on the other end will speak Arabic or French so again the best thing you can do is get the emergency number for your travel reps and they will sort everything out for you but as I said I have never had need for anything like that. A really friendly people who will do anything to help you. If you get offered something for say 100 Dinars then offer 10 yes 10 they will look offended and say no no no they have a family to feed but its part of the game let him offer another price which will probably be 75 then offer 15 and so on. You only need pay what you are willing to pay. If you get to a stage where you don't think he will come down any more and you still think its too expensive say no thank you and walk away he will come after you and offer you another best price then you start all over again its just fun they may seem oppressive but that's just how they are keep a smile on your face and don't be worried they will never harm you or threaten you. Once you are happy with the price pay and shake their hand and say shokran (Thank you) In tunisia it is very tourist orientated so you don't have to worry about local customs if you mean arab culture they are very liberal. I would say if you are going to visit any holy sites then check with the travel reps for the proper dress code. Its not a good idea to be drunk in public though they don't like that. One thing about buying stuff. You can barter in the local shops but in the government shops the price you see is what you pay no haggling. A good idea is to go there first and see if there is something you want get the price then go to the medina to haggle for a better price. Have fun with it and don't be pressurised. A polite no thank you works wonders and do not fall for the old trick of someone coming up to you in the street and saying they are a waiter or barman in your hotel, they are not they just saw you get off the bus or out of a taxi and asked the bus driver or taxi driver which hotel you came from.
