Visit Monastir Tunisia: Easy Sousse Day Trip

Monastir buy blow

It took a few days to find our feet in Monastir and adjust to a different way of life when compared to some of our European habits. There were a couple of bumpy moments that temporarily dented our confidence, however, the country and its people grew on me. We subsequently had many good experiences and we found the majority of Tunisians to be friendly and helpful. Check-in to the country went smoothly for us. As we entered the harbour, we saw that a large trip boat had filled up the welcome pontoon. As we looked around for an alternative, we heard a call and saw a marinero directing us straight to a berth. Once tied up, we walked around to the police and customs offices to complete the paperwork, then a representative from each walked around with us to complete the boat inspection. Whilst the officials were on Emerald, they opened a few lockers. They asked us several times if we had a drone no and cigars and that was it. The marina lies within a fairly well-sheltered basin, surrounded by apartments, cafes, and restaurants. Berths are located around the edge of the basin and along concrete docks. Watch out when motoring around, however, as there can be some floating debris. The staff spoke Arabic, French, and some of them a little English. The lady who fronts the office had very good English. When we needed their help, the marineros were friendly and did their best to help. Unfortunately, we needed assistance a few times during our first week or so. One of the issues was regards to our berth and the condition of the mooring lines. However, the staff worked hard to resolve the problem and no damage occurred. There is an exchange in the marina and many banks in town with ATMs and currency exchange. We brought euros with us as we knew our UK bank cards had a fee for cash withdrawal outside Europe. After changing some euros, we admit that our sleep-deprived brains were a little confused by what we had been given. We had a lot of them. We grew up with decimals, so this confused us. We had a heavy pocketful of millime coins worth the equivalent of a few pence but they did come in very useful in the market and when using public transport. Behind the marina sits the imposing defensive structure of the Ribat, glowing golden in the sun. Behind that is the medina, the old part of the town and the most interesting. Imposing gateways provide entry to the maze of streets inside. This is also where you will find the daily souk, the shopping district with a mixture of tourist stands, household and clothes shops. But of course, they want you to buy! Mixed in amongst the shops are houses, cafes, restaurants and mosques. A tall minaret denotes the main mosque, but there are several smaller ones hidden behind decorated doors. However, as a downside, it is scruffy. This is my main negative from Tunisia. Building materials are dumped on footpaths or along the edge of a road, and plastic bags blow around like leaves from a tree. Outside of the walls the town has spread. At certain times of the day the traffic is chaotic but we have quickly become skilled at stepping out in front of moving traffic to cross the roads. Mostly the cars do stop! The louage, bus and train station are all located close behind the medina as well as many types of shops and housing. Taxis roam around and might beep as you walk by to see if you want their service. There is a larger weekly souk further out of town, but we never got around to going or at least before I wrote this blog. I loved this place! Stalls crammed together and loaded with fresh food — mountains of seasonal produce including strawberries, mulberries, and tomatoes at crazy low prices to us Europeans. Chalkboards stuck in the mounds of produce display the prices. We found vendors to have charged us honestly. The market can get crowded and the gaps between stalls are small. Often someone will try to drive a scooter or a van through the pedestrians to much scolding from the locals when they cause a blockage. We saw a delivery van piled high with boxes of produce, catch on the fabric shade of a stall. A disaster was averted with the help of a broomstick, a bit of forward and back shuffling, and not too much shouting. The stalls surround a covered structure, inside which is the fish market. Counters displayed a large choice of freshly caught seafood, including tuna. The smell from the spices is divine. Back outside are household goods, toys, and crockery. The main tourist attraction in Monastir is the solid-looking ribat, an Islamic defensive structure built in , the oldest in the Maghreb area of Africa. Its thick, well-preserved walls surround an open courtyard. Inside we wandered with abandon through rooms and corridors on several levels, linked by time-worn steps. I imagine a health and safety officer would have nightmares given that tourists can wander so freely over such uneven surfaces. However, it was great for us to be able to roam where we liked with a bit of care as to where we stepped. Up the narrow, winding stair of the tower, there are great views across the marina and town. The tower allowed soldiers to exchange messages with neighbouring ribats. Within the walls, there is a small museum containing relics from the Islamic faith. We had fun spotting the locations. He was a politician who subsequently became the first president of Tunisia. One of his legacies was to negotiate for independence from France which was granted in He subsequently declared Tunisia a republic one year later. Topping it is a golden dome. A tile decorated, covered walkway and courtyard curve around the outside. A gallery provides a an ideal viewing platform. When compared to Europe, eating out in Tunisia is inexpensive. Restaurants serve harissa paste with bread and olives as a starter. The paste is made from hot chilies, and varies from mild to blow your head off. Friends recommended the El Koojina restaurant and it proved worthy. A large number of restaurants closed during the month of Ramadan, however there were a few that would open in the evening. The cafes within the marina complex also remained open for coffee and soft drinks. The Alhambra restaurant in town was open for a few hours in the evening and we enjoyed steak and lamb chops there.

Pleased to read your blog, its been a while since I caught up with your travels. My own travelling and increasing demands of supporting elderly parents with deteriorating dementia and mobility issues, take up a big chunk of my time these days. Not a complaint just how it is. Although away most of time, I know you keep abreast of stuff back home so probably have read about issues and pressures facing those in and reliant on the Social Care system. After dealing with it for almost two years now, I can testify from personal experience that it is shambolic at times. But I have also seen first hand good people providing care for my parents on min wage salaries. But what would have happened to my parents without my support??? Anyway onto more positive stuff. Overall it seemed like after a number of unplanned repairs to Emerald you have got out and had a good trip to Tunisia. No doubt skip is engrossed in the pantomime that is the election of next priminister …LOL. Hi Phil, thanks for your comment. Ah sorry to hear of your parents health issues. The problems with the Social Care system is certainly a worry for us with ageing parents, and who knows what further messes will be created for the NHS post-Brexit.
