Haggling rules apply

One of the most pleasurable things to do in Tunisia is go shopping. The souks are a cultural experience in and of itself, with the colors, textures, and fragrances overwhelming the senses. The old Medina of Tunis, in particular, is a must-see and one of Tunisia's top tourist attractions; stroll around the ancient, UNESCO-protected quarter's maze of alleyways to bargain for your goods and have a shisha and mint tea glasses.

Different parts of the nation specialize in different crafts, but Denden hamlet near Manouba, Tunis, is a wonderful location to start. You may meet a diverse selection of artisans who are presenting their work. Another alternative is to go to the souks and observe the merchants' aggressive sales practices. It's also an excellent spot to acquire mementos if you don't want to haggle (though don't rule it out; it's a lot of fun if you get used to the banter and back-and-forth).

Prepare to have fun bargaining once you've become acquainted with the costs. Hone your bargaining talents, and you'll discover that you can score some fantastic deals. In general, your money will go a long way in Tunisia.
