Money-saving tips
Stay in Sidi Bou Saïd (hilltop neighbourhood) or Ville Nouvelle for quieter, modern comfort; Medina riads offer mid-range authenticity.
Eat at established halal restaurants in Ville Nouvelle (Avenue Habib Bourguiba, Rue Mohamed Ali) for consistency; expect $8–15 per meal.
Day-trip to Djerba island (ferry or bus, 2–3 hrs) for beaches and the ancient El-Ghriba Synagogue; include transport, food, and entrance (~$30–40).
