I think that man was honest in his invitation ☺️
Did you walk in Ksar Helel I see some pictures?😅
There are more than 30 islands in Tunisia.
You need some guidance walking by your self is extremely exhausting even to me us a local
Kerkena and jerba also a beautiful island
Nice video 👍
Wait! You made it to the island with the intention to turn right back same day???? Hummm!
Major Mistake number one: You chose Sfax over Mehdia ( Major mistake Especially considering how close you were)
Major Mistake number 2 is you arrive in the island ( arguably the best part of Sfax region) and turn back within like an hour? it is not like you guys..Kerkenah is so beautiful and you went to the port? then managed to judge it based on the port staton area?! That is not like you guys to do that, thats why I am puzzled.
You guys are so well traveled and so polite and cultured, you are nothing like some Americans this makes me think ok who are not not at all well traveled or cultured, who mostly take cruises instead of actually travel. The cruise ship stops in many countries/island countries for like a couple of hours. People only see the port and do one tiny cheesy activity, 2 hours later they are on to another country…then they go back home and say I visited these countries and start giving you their impression on the country and its people and culture, and I'm like how the f??
So your 5 mins in Kerkenah made me think of that ( It was in no way a comparaison with Americans, you guys are amazing and nothing like)
I think you should simply turn back and do another video with both Kerkenah and Mahdia on. If you do this and regret I will personally pay for the money and time spent on those 2 days! ( so keep your receipts!)
On the other hand, what you guys said at the end about gut feeling, is very important, very wise, very true and very much a proof of well traveled people!
🥰🥰👍
You two still have no idea what you're doing no offense
so coooooooooool !!!!! you got there ! supeeeeeeer happy !!! thank youuuuuuuuuuu !!!!
iam very happy !!! yeahhhhhhhhh so cooooool !! ahhahahahaha !!! happy adventureeeeeeeeeeee
it's so cool that the stress on the beggining of your trip in tunisia as gone, and you feel happy and enjoy the adventure in tunisia 😛
the island is knowned for illegal people who goes to europe that's why there's a lot of control 😉
❤️👌🇹🇳🇹🇳🇹🇳🇹🇳🇹🇳🇹🇳💝
This country is so dull
Hey guys you're a lovely couple enjoy your stay in Tunisia ! as for the Police /military officials are checking almost everyone that comes out of sfax or out of the island itself …as it is being known as the place from which many unemployed tunisians attempt to illegally migrate to italy ..its not that far from italy
Tunisia has more than 60 islands !
If an old man try to interact with you, 90% he is a scammer, because most old men are not educated or they don't care. Anyway, try to contact with the youth, I am pretty sure they will be happy to speak to you.
If u still in Tunisia it's good to visit Ain-Drahem or tabarka, surch a beautful place surrended by mountain and trees .
Nice video guys, Marek playing football 😂😂
unfortunately its your last video in Tunisia would you comeback to Tunisia ?
you saw nothing from kerkennah , where the docks are, is the worst place on kerkennah nothing to see , on other villages you have museums beaches sights to see sings to do specially after the bridge
مرحبًا بكم في تونس… تونس قرطاج الابية … 🇹🇳
You should've spent a day in Monastir guys cuz it's one of the prettiest and most touristic cities in Tunisia and believe me you wouldn't regret it.
we have jerba island in tunisia something more intresting to go i really recommand it for you two
I am getting the gist that your trying to say that south Africa is saver than Tunisia by saying that you have (learned the hard way) and we all know how dangerous south Africa is
This one video came across as a little condescending , however you are always welcome to Tunisia and your safety is our duty towards you, your safety is never guaranty even in that safest places on earth
You guys have to try couscous and mloukhiya
I m from Tunisia and living in Monastir. I m really discovering Tunisia with you. I am waiting a video of Monastir.
I'm so glad you went to Kerkannah. I wanted to go there during my travels in Tunisia but unfortunately didn't make it. I'm planning to revisit Tunisia this summer and I'm 100% going. I didn't realise how easy it is to get there. Thanks 🙏
In Tunisia w have 3 Island and the famous one IS aruba in south Of Tunisia and his name is '' thé Dream island ''
About the drama there:
It was because some tunisians use that island yo illegally immigrate to italy .
So the police there is a bit strict about who is going there and always asking for the reson.
I doubt Marek saw military personnel in the altercation. They were 99% national guard guys which are more like cops but most units dress in camouflage as they are technically para-military.
Welcome in my home town guys 🥰🥰 Enjoy and take care ❤❤
Hi guys !
Im from kerkennah and I commented on your first video in Tunisia to go to tunisia.hope you liked ❤️🇹🇳
should have eaten a couscous With fish or spaghetti With sea food
You must visit the island of Djerba in the southern east
💖💖💖🇹🇳
I don't think the man was trying to look forceful. We just don't get much tourists around, so when we do, we want to be generous and make them feel "like home". But unfortunately some of us might insist too hard, it's in our nature ^^ and I understand why it looks off to tourists.
I am not from Sfax but i assume that old guy didn't try to force you or he had some bad background, Sfax is not a touristic city so as a part of hospitality they are glad to see someone foreigner arriving there. Second point you really didn't see nothing from Kerkennah you just walked around the port the island have much more to show.
You haven't seen anything yet… I'm so sad 😞 kerkenah is so beautiful…
There sure are some creeps that you have to beware of , but i think the guy was just trying to be hospitable ( it's some sort of Arab hospitality) , he thinks that he should insist so you won't feel shy , to make you feel welcomed . Yes it's a thing , but he was just trying to be nice . Cultures clash sometimes x)
Tunisia has 60 Islands and specially djerba the biggest island in North Africa what a dumb title
The port is located on the edge of the island and serves just for fishing and to get to sfax, the towns and the tourist area are about 20 to 30 kilometers away, you could have used local transportation to get there. You definitely should have done some more research 😔
PLEASE do not consider that police ineraction to be common in check-points in Tunisia. The ferry check-up in Kerkennah is RENOWNED in Tunisia for being "hot" because a lot of young men (and women and children) from everywhere in the country going there to find a "burner" boat trip and illegally immigrate to Europe… There's quite a few press articles about the issue.
You should check out Djerba, and maybe Zarzis if you want the small town experience. Zarzis has a small medina (with a very ancient Muslim and Jewish community) and there's THE BEST wood-fired pizza in the South there that's called "Lampadosa".
If you have chance visit Mahdia, its very beautiful peninsula. And not far from there. Enjoy!
U better stayed in Monastir and Mahdia they're so much better especially Mahdia and its Touristic Zone, so much relax in Borj Erras.. Highly recommended👍
Our country has more than 40 islands not just one 😅🤣🤣🤣
The military surveillance and control over kerknah is not due to your camera but to avoid the illegal immigration towards Europe..in fact,kerknah is the main spot from which those illegal migration's waves towards Europe initiate
For the old man who suggested to have you as guests ,if he's a Tunisian there is nothing to be afraid of it's just a way to show you his hospitality…Tunisians are very hospitable especially the southerners so don't worry about your safety among us but be careful of none Tunisians especially those Sub-Saharans who invaded recently our country in masses sfax is suffering due to them and yeah they are very dangerous so be vigilant
It's such a loss not to have a whole tour in the island despite all the tiresome of the transport and the movement…you did just watch the ferry not the island 😏🤣🤣
There is another island in Tunisia cald Djerba
You have to go to Djerba now :p Mahdia is not a bad idea at all too
