Arrangement of the topography along certain routes), Lonely Planet (English, goo
d practical information for backpackers, culture and background are as always a
bit too short), Rough Guides (English, practical guide not as good as Lonely Pla
net, but more background). Internet: The Guide to publishing houses are a good s
tarting point. In addition to updates, most also offer a collection of links to
the respective countries. Photos: The photos were taken with a normal SLR camera
made on slide film and then scanned. Itinerary: Monastir - Tunis - El Kef - Kai
rouan - Gafsa - Tamerza - Nefta - Tozeur - Sfax - Mahdia - Monastir. Since Tunis
ia is currently a bit of an impasse, although there are many all-inclusive but s
urprisingly few backpackers.
Language: Official language is Arabic, however, the colonial era, thank many als
o speak some French. Useful foreign languages such as English or sometimes Germa
n are spoken mainly in the tourism industry. Currency: For 1 € you get about 1.2

ATMs are found in most towns. Withdrawals with normal ATM card or credit card (
more expensive) problems. Cost: If you're traveling by public transport, from ar
ound 16 € per day up to infinity. Simple hotels cost of 6 €. Public transport is
relatively cheap because of the short distances, about 3.5 € for 100 km. Travel
