Tunis by plane
Tunis by plane
Tunis-Carthage Airport (TUN), 8 km away from the centre, is small and in reasonable shape with all standard facilities. You can exchange money here at decent rates. A taxi into the city centre ? insist on the meter ?
should cost around 3 dinars during the day and 5 dinars at night.
Alternatively, buses depart fairly regularly during the day (but not at night) and charge a fraction of the price.
Beware of the Taxi drivers at the taxi stand, at night they will ask 20 - 25 TD. During the day, the drivers will use the meter without argument but it is often tampered with and thus reads high.
If it reads more than 2 dinar before the end of the airport road, you are being ripped off and you should contemplate getting out (without paying) and catching another taxi.
A better idea is to go upstairs to the departure area and catch a taxi that has just dropped someone off.
This increases the odds of an honest driver immensely and is often done by locals (especially those who work at the airport).
The food and drinks near the check in counters are very reasonably priced and good quality but those in the transit area are extremely expensive and poor quality (low turnover).
