All inclusive in Tunisia from Almaty: prices

All inclusive holidays in Tunisia are a package with a flight from Almaty, transfer, accommodation and meals at the hotel. Swimming is comfortable from May to October on the mainland and from April to November on Djerba. The resort fee, tips and excursions are paid separately. The main resorts are Hammamet, Sousse, Monastir, Mahdia and Djerba.

Visa, flight and money: what to consider before departure from Almaty?

Before travelling to Tunisia, it is worth sorting out the formalities, currency and travel time. Below is what is important to know before departure from Almaty.

Arrival processing for citizens of Kazakhstan

Check the entry procedure for citizens of Kazakhstan in advance with a tour operator representative. Direct charters from Almaty fly to Enfidha or Djerba, the journey takes about 7–8 hours. The time difference with Almaty is 4 hours all year round: Tunisia is on UTC+1, Kazakhstan on UTC+5. The return flight is at night, so it is better not to plan anything important on the day of departure. Take cash for the first expenses: ATMs at Enfidha airport work, but the queue after the plane lands can be long. A backup option will also come in handy here — a small exchange at the airport if the ATM does not accept the card.

Dinar, exchange and resort fee

The currency of Tunisia is the Tunisian dinar, and it cannot be taken out of the country. Exchange is done only at banks, exchange offices at hotels and the airport; the rate is approximately the same everywhere, but keep the exchange receipt until departure. The resort fee at hotels in Hammamet, Sousse and Monastir is paid separately from the package. The amount depends on the accommodation category, and it is usually charged at check-out. Cards are accepted in large hotels and shops, but cash is needed in markets and taxis. Small notes will come in handy for tips and purchases from local traders. Do not exchange money with private individuals on the street: the rate there is more tempting, but the notes may turn out to be old or counterfeit. All inclusive holidays in Tunisia do not cancel these everyday little things: dinars for the first day and a cash reserve noticeably simplify the start of the trip.

When to go to the beaches of the Mediterranean Sea and the island

The beach season in Tunisia lasts longer than it seems by the calendar. The choice of month depends on where exactly you are flying.

Season at mainland resorts

Swimming on the mainland is comfortable from late May to October. In Hammamet and Sousse the water warms up by June, and in September it still stays around +25 °C. July and August are the hottest months: the air rises above +35 °C, and it is better to spend midday in the shade or in the pool. In Monastir and Mahdia the winds are slightly stronger, so the heat is easier to bear. The velvet season is late September and October: the sea is warm, and the sun is no longer so aggressive. For excursions to the Sahara, it is better to choose spring or autumn: in summer the desert is too hot. In winter it is cool and rainy here, but short walks along the coast are quite possible.

Swimming features on Djerba

On Djerba the swimming season is longer than on the mainland. The shallow water and warm gulf allow you to enter the water already in April, and the season ends closer to November. The water here warms up faster, and even on windy days swimming remains comfortable. Winds on the island are normal: they bring coolness and make the weather milder than in Hammamet. For families with children, Djerba is convenient thanks to its gentle entry and calm sea. In winter the island is also warm, but few dare to swim. If you are going for the beach outside the high season, Djerba is the most reliable option in the region.

What is included in the package and what will you have to pay for separately?

Even with a paid package, part of the expenses remains with the tourist. Understand in advance what to pay for on the spot.

Tips and drinks outside the restaurant

Tips at all inclusive hotels are not included in the package. They are usually left separately: for maids, waiters, bartenders. Focus on modest amounts in dinars, but without fanaticism. Alcohol is served at hotels, but outside the tourist zone sales are restricted, and it is not available everywhere. Check at the reception what exactly is included in your rate: the lists differ at different hotels. Drinks at the pool bar are usually included, while premium cocktails may be paid. Tunisia offers the all inclusive format in almost every large hotel in Hammamet, Sousse and Djerba, but the set of options at a specific hotel should be checked before booking.

Excursions and car rental

Excursions from Hammamet and Sousse are booked on the spot or with a tour operator representative. Carthage, Sidi Bou Said, a trip to the Sahara and a jeep safari are popular. Prices depend on the programme and the number of participants, so compare offers. Renting a car requires an international licence, and local traffic rules are strict. Fines are high, so without experience of driving abroad it is better to take a car with a driver. For trips around the island on Djerba, a taxi or an organised transfer is enough. If you plan to move around a lot, renting pays off, but only with confident driving.

How to prepare for a trip during Ramadan

Ramadan changes the rhythm of life in Tunisia, and a tourist should take this into account. Hotels are almost unaffected, but the street lives differently.

Opening hours of cafes and shops

During Ramadan, cafes and shops outside hotels operate on a reduced schedule. During the day many places are closed, and they open closer to evening, after iftar. In the tourist zones of Hammamet and Sousse, cafes for tourists still work, but the choice is more modest. Dinner at a restaurant outside the hotel may start late: locals sit down at the table after sunset. Plan souvenir shopping for the evening, when the markets come to life. In Djerba and Monastir the rhythm is calmer than in large cities, but the general logic is the same. If you are going during Ramadan, do not count on the usual daytime schedule of cafes.

Dress code and behaviour outside the hotel

During Ramadan, dress more modestly than you would on the beach. Outside the hotel, women should cover their shoulders and knees, especially in Monastir and Mahdia. Men should not walk the streets without a T-shirt. Do not eat or drink ostentatiously on the street during daylight hours: locals may disapprove. Taking photos of people without permission is not customary, especially during prayer. In the tourist zone the rules are more relaxed, but respect for local traditions is always appropriate. Behave calmly and do not raise your voice in public places.

Communications, first aid kits and souvenirs: practical little things

Small details decide how calm your trip will be. It is worth thinking about communications, medicines and shopping in advance.

Local SIM card and roaming

A local SIM card is issued with a passport at an operator's shop. Roaming with Kazakhstani operators is expensive, so for calls and internet it is more economical to buy a local SIM card. At Enfidha Airport and in major cities there are mobile phone shops, but on the first day there may not be enough time. Wi-Fi in hotels in Hammamet and Sousse is usually available in the lobby, while the signal is weaker in the room. For navigation and messengers, a package of a few gigabytes is enough. If you are going to Djerba, check coverage in advance: on the island it is slightly worse than on the mainland. Charge your phone with a margin: sockets in hotels are standard, but an adapter may be needed.

Medicines and haggling at markets

Take first aid kits and medicines with you: the range in Tunisian pharmacies is limited. Prescription drugs may not match by name, and the usual remedy may simply not be available. Be sure to take what you take constantly, plus a standard set for colds and stomach issues. Medical insurance is not mandatory for entry, but with all inclusive, the coverage of treatment outside the hotel should be clarified in advance. At markets prices are inflated, and haggling is appropriate: bargain boldly, but politely. Cards are not accepted everywhere, so keep cash in dinars with you. It is better to buy souvenirs at the end of the trip, when you already understand the real prices.
