I am going to Tunisia next Thursday Please can you explain What is this ID you are talking about? Do you mean passport? Do I have to carry my passport at all the time?
As a professional tour guide and member of a major tourism board in Germany, I can frankly say that the greater Tunis area has got huge potential to become a world class metropolis. It’s a shame that Tunisians are missing the chance to market the capital city as the main reason to visit Tunisia. Forget about Sousse or Hammamet, tourists with huge spending budgets opt for culturally interesting metropolises (speaking from my experience). Where in the world can you find a metropolitan area with such different historical (UNESCO heritage) sites, like the best kept and most beautiful Medina in the Arab world, the French Ville Nouvelle including Southern Italian style areas, as well as nearby Roman Carthage, Sidi Bou Said (the Santorini of Africa), the leisure area of La Marsa, new development areas such as LAC and Ennasr. To my mind, all these areas should merge and turn Tunis into a city like no other! Here are my personal suggestions to make to Tunis better tourist destination: Step 1. Ban cars from the inner city and turn the Ville Nouvelle into a pedestrian area. According to the general experience in Europe, this would attract many new businesses, such as nice street cafés, hotels and various hospitality businesses as well as artists in general. A walkable city is what tourists and locals value most and improve the quality of life in the city Step 2. implementation of more greenery and parks makes the city look cleaner Step 3. attract more budget hotels Step 4. You should rename Tunis to Carthage (or New Carthage) so that history of your country as well as of your capital city is better promoted and from a historical point of view better recognised. Most people don’t even know that Carthage is located in modern day Tunisia Step 5. Update your infrastructure and make it more tourist friendly (i.e public transport). New metro rolling stock, digitalised purchase for public transport tickets etc Step 6. keep the streets cleaner Once these steps are implemented, tourism will boom in Tunis and the city can kickstart the Tunisian economy to some extent. Cheers
That's a valuable insight, and I totally agree with the point that although Hammamet/Sousse/Monastir beaches are the focus when portraying Tunisian tourism, they're really have nothing to add on the cultural historical level, so why would a foreigner come to Tunisia if they can have the same Mediterranean sea without the inconveniences of flying to a different continent.
@@sfax couldn’t agree more! I mean look at other Mediterranean tourist hotspots. Italy got Rome, Venice etc Spain got Barcelona and Madrid Turkey got Istanbul Egypt got Cairo Morocco got Marrakech Israel got Tel Aviv and Jerusalem Greece got Athens and the list goes on. Do you really want to challenge these cities tourist wise with Hammamet, Sousse etc? To conclude, these countries offer tourist hotspots all year round. You should keep in mind that the Greater Tunis area has even more history and diversity to offer than most of the previously mentioned cities. I mean imagine an advertisement where Tunis, Carthage, Sidi Bou Said, La Marsa etc are marketed as one city! I have been to many cities all over the world and Greater Tunis should get attention that it deserves.

Hello, a Tunisian here. Thank you for the video and hope you enjoyed the tours you did! As for “police and security”, well, the “state of police” is partially gone by the 14 January 2011 revolution. However, some buildings are classified as “sensitive buildings” by law, which are: supreme government organisations (like ministries, the presidential palace, etc), military buildings and many religious places of worship (like some synagogues and churches). They can also be present in popular streets, squares and some places like hypermarkets. I entered the City of Culture that you filmed in Mohammed V without problems, they just need to check you via a scanning machine and your bag through X-ray. They usually do not bother you but if they stop you, that’s for safety reasons. I’m sorry you had some troubles during your visit in Tunis, and thank you again for the video. Peace to you! 🇹🇳❤️
Hey Tunisian here 👋 Since 2011, our country has gone through a series of terrorist attacks which led to more strict policy in terms of renforcing the police presence everywhere and mainly in the capital where you have several embassies and ministries that were the target of these attacks (i.e the embassy of France is in the heart of Tunis and u could see the barbed wire surrounding it). In addition, the police checks happens for everyone not particularly to target the foreigners, it helps also to keep the pickpockets away. In addition, you have a strict policy about filming, it’s not allowed in several places especially in front of sensitive or governmental buildings. I hope you enjoyed your stay in our country, despite all of the small casual disturbances, it’s still one of most beautiful countries, Tunisia is not only beach and sand, it’s more than that, it’s history and breathtaking sceneries across the country from the Sahara Desert to the snowy Ain Drahem mountains… And the people are quite friendly especially the younger generation.
The carpet that you bought for your friend who is getting married is very beautiful, and the symbol of the hand on it is called “Khomsa” in Tunisia, and it is a Carthaginian inheritance, He is 4000 years old

I'm not living in Tunis but as far as I know police here don't check people randomly like that only for military service or they suspect you .... Maybe because Tunis is a big city and full of tourists so they just wanted to know from where you are (curiosity)... Stay safe brother and Welcome to Tunisia
Mr. Myer:Thanks you so much for your new remarkable video today’s from Tunis, Tunisia to shows these amazing places & Landmarks in North Africa March of 2024❤❤❤
Hello Myer, I'm glad you visited our country and i feel that you are trying to only pass the positive things you've been through, so i thank you for that !! The police thing is a little bit exagerated that's true, but its one of the ways to things here and Tunisia is still trying to cure some problems with twisted mind people. So we are sorry for what happened to you but in the other hand it's more secure this way because like every country in the world there is some bad locals as pickpockets and they know that anyone can be police so at least the centre of the town is more secure this way. If you come back anytime you can be my guest :) . Take care brother
Btw (update) ,last week they removed those chek points (beacuse of the ministry of interrior and a lot of Embassies that are located in the center of tunis thats why it is forbiden to film in those places) ,but today its okay to walk and film everything

I got detained by police in Tunisia for taking pictures of the scenery around the medina. 2 undercover agents approached me on streets, took me by the arm and forcefully walked me to the police station. There they interrogated me for 2 hours, went through my stuff and phone, found nothing of interest just asked me to delete the pictures and dropped me off at the train station. Add to it I also got searched when i arrived in the airport before. So it seems to be a common thing there 😅
Hey, I hope you enjoy your stay. 1)By the way, it's not personal for the police it's somewhat normal to look for delinquents, so it's for safety reasons 2) The statue of the man on the horse in the Habib Bourguiba stretet is the Habib Bourguiba himself, the first tunisian president.
I was just(a couple hours ago) in tunis. I am also impressed about the city and especially the roads. It does need some work, but for an African country, it is really good. A pretty good vibe there. From marocco!
Mr. Myer:Thanks you so much for this new remarkable video this week from Tunis, Tunisia to shows these amazing streets in the city in great joy & peace March of 2024❤❤❤
Heyy love your video man. Just to clarify something. That souk is not jemaa al zaitouna it's called sidi boumandil. Jemaa al zaitouna is the mosque that you talked about the very famous one on the other end of the souk.
Mr. Myer:Congratulations to you for this new remarkable video Tunis, Tunisia to shows this amazing streets in Tunis to shows other remarkable places in March of 2024❤❤❤
Unfortunately Tunisia has an active/declared state of emergency. This gives police power to stop and ask for identification (and even search) without the need for a warrant.
I am Tunisian and live in Tunis. I really like the video, so raw, so real. But still a lot to see in Tunis. I love the city and the people and traditions even that it has some downsides but it doesn’t touch our happiness 😀.
the souk's name is not jamaa azzaytouna ... jamaa3 azaytouna is azzaytouna mosque (name of the university mosque) the souk goes bby the name souk bab bbahar or simply soukk al madina and is devided into several souks : echa souks is named after the goods it sells .... ( souk chawachin souk sabaghin ... ) and in the avenue habib bourguibba , the man riding a horse is habib bourguiba himself ( the first president of tunisia after the french colonisation )
Mr. Myer:I am hoping more new videos are coming up soon this week from Tunis, Tunisia in March of 2024❤❤❤Thanks you so much for heading North Africa last week 2024❤❤❤
Hey man sorry for the bothering you get from the police we are struggling with it daily you have seen only 1% of it I hope you are safe and happy and not having a bad idea about my country
Logically, this is not the modern part of the capital. Tunis, the capital, is part of Greater Tunisia, which is a huge urban agglomeration consisting of four states, meaning four cities attached to each other. We mention the state of Tunis, which includes the city’s historical center from the Islamic period and the European period from French colonialism, which also includes The state of Tunisia, the regions of Marsa, Sidi, Bou Said, and the Beheira region 1-2, is the most modern urbanly, as most of the world’s embassies are settled there, including the United States embassy, and there are the states of Ariana, Ben Arous, and Manouba, and each state contains urban centers, including modern and ancient ones. The so-called Greater Tunis, of which the capital is a part
I'm Tunisian and from what I know since I was born Police always check on Guys randomly picking them based on how they are dressed or suspecting them on their intentions to walk around the city....They for sure thought you are Tunisian because physically you could fit in the population's feature...
you're absolutely correct for the assessment, but also to add on you kinda look tunisian like southern tunisian, so they probably thought you were one, and thus you know the rule of not filming everywhere as and i guess as soon as they found out you were foreign they kept it pushing, also we call those types of policemen "civile" i.e undercover because they're dressed in civilian clothing
It is normal to be checked by the police, because of the law of filming. You have to get permission and be verified by the authority and after that you can film what is permitted.
Well first it’s great that you visited Tunisia and showcased good stuff about it, thank you so much. Second, about the police… I don’t know where to start, from racism, ignorance, greed or just Tunisian police being Tunisian police and could not forget good old dictatorship ways. I apologise on their behalf for that, we citizens are equally mostly uncomfortable around cops as you never know what happens with them, it’s like a roulette of cops!
@@myertravels Let's hope it improves, I am a Tunisian citizen living abroad, and one of the most un-cherished memories I have in Tunisia is the two occasions i was beaten by police for no reason, lots of Tunisians will say the same, no need to mention the bribes and uncool stuff. Well hopefully that does not make it your last time visiting us :D
hello, the country is in " high Alert " against terrorism since the revolution 2011 . So , they ask for id if they have a suspetion and it's normal here ... as long they identify themselves , you can identify urself safely ... i hope the country remain stable to welcome all the tourists from the world .
I have been there for few time , mostly I stay at Sousse. When you buy thing there you really need to bargain even below the half prize what they ask. For just a small cloth like that 60 dollars is quite expensive I think.
No, Tunisia is not a police state. In 2010 Tunisia had a revolution that toppled the old police state regime. Now they have freedoms and can criticize the police. I don't know the circumstances for which you were stopped, but it seems that they all follow a pattern. my hunch in they didn't recognize you were a vlogging tourist, and thought you raised suspicions. Unless you're in a car, you will mostly not be stopped by uniformed police agents but uncover units will stop and ask you for ID. Carry your ID at all times, don't film police stations, National guard stations, Army barracks. don't use drones, do your research before visiting a country that's what i do and I was never stopped by police. Despite the normality and safety experienced in the country, Tunisia is still in an emergency state which gives the police some extra jurisdictions.
I advice to visit us next time with a local who's knowledgeable of the history of the city or with a tourist guide for your safety and to learn more ,what you visited wasn't a "suk" but a collection of many suks in what's called " المدينة العربي" or also known as the old city/ ancient city , جامع الزيتونة ( Zaitouna Mosque) is the name of the mosque in that area
بالعكس نتمنة للتونس كل خير نحن نحب لتونس لن تتقدم وتصبح احسن دولة في العالم ..لا تتضايق من تعاليق سلبية لا نعرف من وراءها هل هو مغربي او شخص منفصل يريد شر للمغرب وان يربكها معا جوار .تونس بلد سياحي بٱمتياز .ونعتذر عن اي سوء فهم
it is not a police state Tunisia the most democratic Arab country but in Tunisia you must have id on you for all ....and we agree with that ...terror is everywhere in the world so having police asking for ID from time to time is fine and also non legal immigrants issue other than that you are free to film and travel no one will follow you.
Thank you for your video, the reason behind you being stopped is Security. The minister of interior is located next to the fountain in the other side the minister of tourism then you find the French ambassy,you could applied for filming permission and potentially you will be allowed to film, in london and msny other places filming is restricted, i hope that your experience with the under cover police didn't spoil your journey . Dnt forget they are there fot your safety
You are always keen to learn people’s culture, and have respect for them. You treat everyone the same irrespective of culture, religion etc. I imagine it to be difficult to get back to a normal life working 9-5 jobs after all these travels.
250 DT for that blanket?!! As a tunisian i can tell you that you got scammed because it’s real price is around 20/30 DT and not more, even if at the end you paid it a lot less i tell you that you got scammed anyway, even 120 is a lot. I’m really sorry for all vloggers and tourists that are really getting scammed every day. Nice video anyway and you are always welcome in Tunisia 🇹🇳🇹🇳
@@heretolearn107 the “right price” !? So you want to tell me that because of the inflation the carpet costs 250 dt ! C’mon. And it’s not about giving a bad image but my aim is to warn them because tourists are always scammed like this, and i saw this problem with other vloggers too, and they just get clearly scammed. Don’t get offended i’m tunisian too and i care about the image of my country but i’m also sorry for these people. And yes maybe they make a living in this way but maybe adding some dinars not 200! C’mon

The downtown or the center is where the ministry of internal security is located so we can't film there cause it's a kinda military zone "kinda" so that's why there are some undercover police
It's absolutely normal here in Tunisia actualiy. Even locals are stopped as well. It's for security reasobs. That is why we were one of the safest countries in the world once. Kinda less after révolution but we are goong back to safety slowly but surely ever since. So that's the short story. Our police is actually nice besides the scary look outside very human. Good to see you loved your visit. Come back anytime we love people if you noticed anyone can just approach you and start talking even with no reason 😂
yes it's a police state ! and i think you should upload those footages when they stopped you. let the world know how they treat strangers because they do much worse with the locals. we can even translate how they talk bad about you during conversations
Yeah it's true , your id should always be with, and there is alot under cover cops and it's a miracle that no one snatched your camera while walking on the streets
Yeah it happened for me yesterday as a tunisian i know that police can do this to check over people's security , but i experienced it for the first time they came for me with the car i was trying to stop a taxi on the sidewalk and they approached me they were wearing normal clothes, they wanted to check my Id but i was a little bit shocked until they showed me the the buzzer light that they put on the car and said if you dont believe us here is the proof , and i was ok no problem 😊
In Tunisia, you should always have your ID. If an undercover Officer stops you, ask them for identification. The undercover Police might be a bit annoying, but it's there to catch thieves and to prevent any Mossad Terrorist Operation.
Tunisian Police do random checks, because the country was hit by terrorism attacks like europe back in 2012-2016. Eventhough the threat is already gone but the goverment kept high alert mainly because Libya is still unstable they keep high alert because Tunisia depends on tourism. If you get randomly checkt just say hallo and show them the documents. it's normal they chose to be extra careful
You are true. As a tunisian, most of policemen especially inside the city are civilians and you should always carry your ID. Your look to be sincere is a little bit doubtful (sharp and severe face maybe). Dont understand me wrong please. Youre always welcome ❤

Subbhan Allah, masha Allah...nice video my dear brother Myer. Asslamu'alykum Warahmatullahi Wabarakaatuhu, Ramadhan Kareem Al Mubarak ✨️ 🕌😇🤍✨️
Hello Myer, I'm glad you visited our country and i feel that you are trying to only pass the positive things you've been through, so i thank you for that !!
The police thing is a little bit exagerated that's true, but its one of the ways to things here and Tunisia is still trying to cure some problems with twisted mind people. So we are sorry for what happened to you but in the other hand it's more secure this way because like every country in the world there is some bad locals as pickpockets and they know that anyone can be police so at least the centre of the town is more secure this way. If you come back anytime you can be my guest :) . Take care brother
Btw (update) ,last week they removed those chek points (beacuse of the ministry of interrior and a lot of Embassies that are located in the center of tunis thats why it is forbiden to film in those places) ,but today its okay to walk and film everything
Sharing is caring thank you for the video .
Thank you for this video , and you are welcome for any time in our beautiful country ❤❤
Thank you! 😃
Tunisia is a country of calm and good people
Greeting from Libya. Tunis is a beautiful city I enjoyed my visit there in 2023.
والله العضيم كي تشوف راجل كبير يحكي انڤلي و الي هيا لغتنا الثالثة و الي في وقتو هوا و نبعدو مقروهاش والله ربي لحمك يقشعر والله احنا شعب مطلع و ذكي من الفطرة و نحبو ديما نتعلمو
I got detained by police in Tunisia for taking pictures of the scenery around the medina. 2 undercover agents approached me on streets, took me by the arm and forcefully walked me to the police station. There they interrogated me for 2 hours, went through my stuff and phone, found nothing of interest just asked me to delete the pictures and dropped me off at the train station. Add to it I also got searched when i arrived in the airport before. So it seems to be a common thing there 😅
You are a hater and a liar
Yes that’s what I hear
Good to know!
another Moroccan spreading misinformation about Tunisia 😅 Sore losers as always I see
the police here ain't that good for anybody but some places don't allow talking pics in them fyi
Hey, I hope you enjoy your stay.
1)By the way, it's not personal for the police it's somewhat normal to look for delinquents, so it's for safety reasons
2) The statue of the man on the horse in the Habib Bourguiba stretet is the Habib Bourguiba himself, the first tunisian president.
Lol. He was stopped because it's turning into dictatorship again.
Understood thank you 🙏🏽
I was just(a couple hours ago) in tunis. I am also impressed about the city and especially the roads. It does need some work, but for an African country, it is really good. A pretty good vibe there. From marocco!
Mr. Myer:Thanks you so much for this new remarkable video this week from Tunis, Tunisia to shows these amazing streets in the city in great joy & peace March of 2024❤❤❤
Heyy love your video man. Just to clarify something. That souk is not jemaa al zaitouna it's called sidi boumandil. Jemaa al zaitouna is the mosque that you talked about the very famous one on the other end of the souk.
Thanks for clarifying
Mr. Myer:Congratulations to you for this new remarkable video Tunis, Tunisia to shows this amazing streets in Tunis to shows other remarkable places in March of 2024❤❤❤
Nice country Nice people you remind me my best friends in back days in Italy
Unfortunately Tunisia has an active/declared state of emergency. This gives police power to stop and ask for identification (and even search) without the need for a warrant.
I am Tunisian and live in Tunis. I really like the video, so raw, so real. But still a lot to see in Tunis. I love the city and the people and traditions even that it has some downsides but it doesn’t touch our happiness 😀.
btw yesr 120 ala sajeda kn tfarajt fl vid
the souk's name is not jamaa azzaytouna ... jamaa3 azaytouna is azzaytouna mosque (name of the university mosque) the souk goes bby the name souk bab bbahar or simply soukk al madina and is devided into several souks : echa souks is named after the goods it sells .... ( souk chawachin souk sabaghin ... )
and in the avenue habib bourguibba , the man riding a horse is habib bourguiba himself ( the first president of tunisia after the french colonisation )
It’s pleasure to have nice people like you among us. Police checks is important specially after revolution… bear with us for the safety of everyone
Nice video my dear brother Myer, thankyou for sharing. Asslamu'alykum Warahmatullahi Wabarakaatuhu, Aamiin Ya RABB.Ramadhan Kareem Al Mubarak 🤲😇🕌🤍✨️
Beb bhar is more than an arc and a mini souk it’s one of several traditional doors of Tunis city (which used ro be surrounded by a wall)
Good job you travelled to Tunisia is a beautiful country after Morocco may Allah bless us 🇹🇳👑🇲🇦🇹🇳👑🇲🇦🇲🇦
Tunisia is wonderful contry like morrocco thans so match Myher fo réparable vidieos
Mr. Myer:I am hoping more new videos are coming up soon this week from Tunis, Tunisia in March of 2024❤❤❤Thanks you so much for heading North Africa last week 2024❤❤❤
Hey man sorry for the bothering you get from the police we are struggling with it daily you have seen only 1% of it I hope you are safe and happy and not having a bad idea about my country
It’s okay, I still enjoyed my time in Tunisia the people are really cool
thanks you for visiting my country
Hope you are having wonderful time in this month of Ramadan ❤️
Logically, this is not the modern part of the capital. Tunis, the capital, is part of Greater Tunisia, which is a huge urban agglomeration consisting of four states, meaning four cities attached to each other. We mention the state of Tunis, which includes the city’s historical center from the Islamic period and the European period from French colonialism, which also includes The state of Tunisia, the regions of Marsa, Sidi, Bou Said, and the Beheira region 1-2, is the most modern urbanly, as most of the world’s embassies are settled there, including the United States embassy, and there are the states of Ariana, Ben Arous, and Manouba, and each state contains urban centers, including modern and ancient ones. The so-called Greater Tunis, of which the capital is a part
I'm Tunisian and from what I know since I was born Police always check on Guys randomly picking them based on how they are dressed or suspecting them on their intentions to walk around the city....They for sure thought you are Tunisian because physically you could fit in the population's feature...
Mulțumesc. În luna iunie voi veni în Tunisia. Mulțumesc pentru informații.
Welcome to Tunisia bro
Welcome from Tunisia 🇹🇳 ❤
you're good bro, nice vids have seen a bunch now.
I appreciate that!
Free palestine 🇵🇸🕊️🇹🇳
Im tunisian and i like your video
Free palistine🇹🇳🇹🇳
Hello from Moroccan living in USA
Hello asma
🇹🇳❤️🇲🇦
Welcome in Tunisia. The police control is normal even for Tunisian citizens. It's for safety. Tunisia is a touristic country.
3:58 Seriously, I forget and I know that my country is a police state, but they usually ask for ID cards to “preserve the security of the state.”
I'm late because of electricity cuts off & ph battery is low 😌 Wow beautiful place & everything is so beautiful 😍Blue is my favv 💙 Take care 🙏
you're absolutely correct for the assessment, but also to add on you kinda look tunisian like southern tunisian, so they probably thought you were one, and thus you know the rule of not filming everywhere as and i guess as soon as they found out you were foreign they kept it pushing, also we call those types of policemen "civile" i.e undercover because they're dressed in civilian clothing
Ahh okay understood
Im from Tunisia 🇹🇳 i liké and subscribe
It is normal to be checked by the police, because of the law of filming. You have to get permission and be verified by the authority and after that you can film what is permitted.
Well first it’s great that you visited Tunisia and showcased good stuff about it, thank you so much. Second, about the police… I don’t know where to start, from racism, ignorance, greed or just Tunisian police being Tunisian police and could not forget good old dictatorship ways. I apologise on their behalf for that, we citizens are equally mostly uncomfortable around cops as you never know what happens with them, it’s like a roulette of cops!
Hmm yea I agree wholeheartedly, Tunisia has a lot more good than bad but this was something I was not so fond of, but hopefully it improves
@@myertravels Let's hope it improves, I am a Tunisian citizen living abroad, and one of the most un-cherished memories I have in Tunisia is the two occasions i was beaten by police for no reason, lots of Tunisians will say the same, no need to mention the bribes and uncool stuff. Well hopefully that does not make it your last time visiting us :D
hello, the country is in " high Alert " against terrorism since the revolution 2011 . So , they ask for id if they have a suspetion and it's normal here ... as long they identify themselves , you can identify urself safely ... i hope the country remain stable to welcome all the tourists from the world .
Love that hand of Fatima cloth..blue one 🌹
Me too!!
I have been there for few time , mostly I stay at Sousse. When you buy thing there you really need to bargain even below the half prize what they ask. For just a small cloth like that 60 dollars is quite expensive I think.
You are welcome enjoy your trip and the taste of the food ❤
Have you been to mahdia, its inbetween Monastir and chebba. :)
No, Tunisia is not a police state. In 2010 Tunisia had a revolution that toppled the old police state regime. Now they have freedoms and can criticize the police. I don't know the circumstances for which you were stopped, but it seems that they all follow a pattern. my hunch in they didn't recognize you were a vlogging tourist, and thought you raised suspicions. Unless you're in a car, you will mostly not be stopped by uniformed police agents but uncover units will stop and ask you for ID. Carry your ID at all times, don't film police stations, National guard stations, Army barracks. don't use drones, do your research before visiting a country that's what i do and I was never stopped by police. Despite the normality and safety experienced in the country, Tunisia is still in an emergency state which gives the police some extra jurisdictions.
It's turning into a Police state again with an old school insane dictator
Fyi Jemaa al zitouna is not the name of the souk it’s the most famous mosque within the souk the souk in located in medina arbe ( i.e.arabic old town)
Thanks for the information
Downtown Tunis was originally constructed by the French and the Italians, but the medina of Tunis (the old city) was made by the Tunisians.
7:27 يا اخي ليش خوفت هوالراجل ؟ حتى التفدليك كي وضني
اردت ان اقول انهم كانوا يمزح ن معك بخصوص المافيا انه مزاح بارد
I advice to visit us next time with a local who's knowledgeable of the history of the city or with a tourist guide for your safety and to learn more ,what you visited wasn't a "suk" but a collection of many suks in what's called " المدينة العربي" or also known as the old city/ ancient city , جامع الزيتونة ( Zaitouna Mosque) is the name of the mosque in that area
Hhhhhh poor marocain.. no country stable in Africa but Tunisia 🔥🔥🇹🇳🇹🇳❤️❤️👑 the best country in North Africa 🇹🇳🔥🔥🔥
Bro the carpet you bought it costs 20 dinars which is less than 6.5$ i’m tunisian a worked in the same souk you bought from for 4 years.

When they check your ID you should appreciate the safety aspect.
Thanks for sharing.
Very true but it can be a bit scary at first
it is not a police state Tunisia the most democratic Arab country but in Tunisia you must have id on you for all ....and we agree with that ...terror is everywhere in the world so having police asking for ID from time to time is fine and also non legal immigrants issue other than that you are free to film and travel no one will follow you.
Welcome my friend in tunisia ❤❤❤🇹🇳🇹🇳🇹🇳🇹🇳
Thank you for your video, the reason behind you being stopped is Security. The minister of interior is located next to the fountain in the other side the minister of tourism then you find the French ambassy,you could applied for filming permission and potentially you will be allowed to film, in london and msny other places filming is restricted, i hope that your experience with the under cover police didn't spoil your journey . Dnt forget they are there fot your safety
You are welcome my friend , generally pakistanis are nice people ...I live in Tunis and if you need any help contact me whenever you want
Thank you 😊
welcome to tunisia habibi
Thank you 🙏🏽
You are always keen to learn people’s culture, and have respect for them. You treat everyone the same irrespective of culture, religion etc. I imagine it to be difficult to get back to a normal life working 9-5 jobs after all these travels.
Thank you so much for noticing that, I don’t go back to a 9-5 😂 was never a corporate dude, I value my freedom more than anything Alhamdulilah
250 DT for that blanket?!! As a tunisian i can tell you that you got scammed because it’s real price is around 20/30 DT and not more, even if at the end you paid it a lot less i tell you that you got scammed anyway, even 120 is a lot. I’m really sorry for all vloggers and tourists that are really getting scammed every day. Nice video anyway and you are always welcome in Tunisia 🇹🇳🇹🇳
No …you can not get this for 20 dt maybe 10 years ago even it if was a bit expensive this is how these guys make a living …
Now it s the right price because of the inflation.I’m also tunesian so stop spreading the false narrative about your countrymen.
@@heretolearn107 the “right price” !? So you want to tell me that because of the inflation the carpet costs 250 dt ! C’mon. And it’s not about giving a bad image but my aim is to warn them because tourists are always scammed like this, and i saw this problem with other vloggers too, and they just get clearly scammed. Don’t get offended i’m tunisian too and i care about the image of my country but i’m also sorry for these people. And yes maybe they make a living in this way but maybe adding some dinars not 200! C’mon
@@foisse76 ok 30 or 40 or ok maybe 50 or 60 but don’t tell that this is sold 250 DT please.

The downtown or the center is where the ministry of internal security is located so we can't film there cause it's a kinda military zone "kinda" so that's why there are some undercover police
Understood thank you
Nice video! But what's with all these strange Moroccan comments below?! Some of them seem like they're from bots! What's happening?!!
Exactly!! It's like they hate Tunisia. Really weird
It's absolutely normal here in Tunisia actualiy. Even locals are stopped as well. It's for security reasobs. That is why we were one of the safest countries in the world once. Kinda less after révolution but we are goong back to safety slowly but surely ever since. So that's the short story. Our police is actually nice besides the scary look outside very human. Good to see you loved your visit. Come back anytime we love people if you noticed anyone can just approach you and start talking even with no reason 😂
yes it's a police state ! and i think you should upload those footages when they stopped you. let the world know how they treat strangers because they do much worse with the locals. we can even translate how they talk bad about you during conversations
I'm tunisian, and the police thing is bcs they want to find ppl older than 20 to take them to military so dw♡
Not bab albar but bab al bahar meaning door of the see before the see shores from the lake side reached nearby
Hi I'm Tunisian 🇹🇳🇹🇳🇹🇳🇹🇳
Yeah it's true , your id should always be with, and there is alot under cover cops and it's a miracle that no one snatched your camera while walking on the streets
Yeah it happened for me yesterday as a tunisian i know that police can do this to check over people's security , but i experienced it for the first time they came for me with the car i was trying to stop a taxi on the sidewalk and they approached me they were wearing normal clothes, they wanted to check my Id but i was a little bit shocked until they showed me the the buzzer light that they put on the car and said if you dont believe us here is the proof , and i was ok no problem 😊
In Tunisia, you should always have your ID. If an undercover Officer stops you, ask them for identification. The undercover Police might be a bit annoying, but it's there to catch thieves and to prevent any Mossad Terrorist Operation.
Tunisian Police do random checks, because the country was hit by terrorism attacks like europe back in 2012-2016. Eventhough the threat is already gone but the goverment kept high alert mainly because Libya is still unstable they keep high alert because Tunisia depends on tourism. If you get randomly checkt just say hallo and show them the documents. it's normal they chose to be extra careful
Tunisian more educated than moroccans . Right ?
yes
Of course, Morocco is poorer and more miserable, and they depend on prostitution, sorcery, and theft
both well educated with good universities and well-known culture.you are welcomed in both of them any time u wanna visit
You are true. As a tunisian, most of policemen especially inside the city are civilians and you should always carry your ID. Your look to be sincere is a little bit doubtful (sharp and severe face maybe). Dont understand me wrong please. Youre always welcome ❤
