Salam!
My goodness, I haven't even heard of Tunis before joining Emirates... and how this place took my breath away. North Africa, close to Morocco - Tunisia. Tunis to me was like cruising on Campsbay drive, going to Greece, romantic French and strong Arabic. The people are chill, friendly and seem to be happy (man, our cabdriver was a lunatic, he gave us the most amazing experience). Roman ruins are quite a regular sight, yellow blossomed trees (could only get the name in French), mandarin and lemon trees, winding roads, antique and new cars, mopeds, beaches, pizza shops and just plain beauty. Our driver took us (we were 7) to Carthage (pronounced French - Kar taj), where there is a beautiful mosque and some ruins overlooking the peninsula, to Sidi Bou Said, where you would find markets and little coffeeshops, and finally La Marsa beach.
The hotel was absolutely marvellous! I left my balcony sliding door open, to find myself waking up to the peaceful sound of birds on my birthday. We get a massive breakfast buffet for free for crew. Yes, I had to work on my way back on my birthday, but was blessed with amazing crew.... who reminded me of my birthday every 5 seconds, and right at the end after landing (even though it was 1am and my birthday was actually over), they surprised me with a cake and candles, and a perfume bought from duty free, even including Emirates stationary birthday card signed by all in their respective languages. Bless them:)
I would recommend Tunis to anyone. It's an all-in-one mix of the whole world:) And it's romantic!
