Hotels near Tunis–Carthage Airport - TUN, Tunis

There are loads of good restaurants around. Helpful people who speak english- in fact most tunisians speak english and enjoy speaking it. They will go out of their way to assist you and will not expect anything in return. Most people rejected any remuneration for assistance- people are generally kind and honest. Just remember to ask the taxi drivers to turn on the meter- if they know you are a foriegner, you may find yourself paying far more than the locals and fixed prices would be set. You are free to turn these taxis down and wait for others. Fortunately, there are loads and most are pretty honest.

Ariana is a lovely area about 20 minutes from Tunis. It was safe. Plenty of stores, restaurants, bars, bakeries, ice cream shops. However, people need to stop throwing trash all over the place. Too many smokers as well. People smoked inside restaurants, offices, everywhere which was a turn-off

I was met at the airport quite late at night with the plane being more than 2 hours late. The host couldn’t do enough for me, big breakfast, all my laundry and ras me back to the airport. I would certainly recommend him.
