Please be aware of how cheap and plentiful taxis are in Tunisia.

Many tour operators offer the option of booking a private taxi transfer from the airport - please don't fall for it, especially if you are going from Monastir to Skanes, Sousse or Port el Kantaoui.

A taxi to your hotel in Sousse won't cost you much more than 12 - 15 dinar (about £5 - 7) and a bit more to PEK - to Monastir itself or Skanes it's even cheaper. Fares go up by about 50% after about 9 p.m.

The knack is to hang onto your suitcases so they don't get grabbed by porters, walk out and approach any of the line of taxis outside day and night (if they don't approach you first). Greet them, preferably in Arabic - 'aslemma' means 'hello', give the name of your hotel and say 'how much?' (or 'kadesh?') They will give you a price at which you laugh and look at them in amazement then state your price.

If they don't agree walk away and another driver will accept. I use the taxis even if a free transfer is provided, as it is so much quicker and you can be in your hotel and having a drink whilst others are going the rounds of the hotels dropping people off.

If you are a family with a lot of luggage you may need two taxis but the principle is the same - just do your sums.
