It's relatively stable. Politically, it's fine. Economically it is struggling, but not much. Prices for tourists should be reduced as Andy mentioned since it's the recession for hotels and agencies.

Internet is pretty slow (I use a 3G which runs on around 1Mb/sec and costs around $20/month), the infrastructure is poor, the people are either struggling or confused how all these structural problems could get solved.

Not a great place to be in, honestly. If you are in Europe and looking for some Sun, then may be it's a deal for you considering the cost.

If you happen to make a travel, I added my phone number. I'm moving to the capital this summer, and if I happened to purchase a car, I'll take you in a free drive around the capital and Hammamet.

I did last October, from the UK. Cracking price.

The one main memory I have is leaving my iPhone, with my hotel room key-card inside the case, in a Taxi.

The driver searched for me for 30 minutes to return it. Great people, and I love the barter culture.
