Filbert_Ross Posted 9 October 2006 Posted 9 October 2006 thinking about going for nye? but no nothing about the place but the holidays look fairly cheap so im considering it.
andyh1884 Posted 10 October 2006 Posted 10 October 2006 I stayed in Sousse 4 years ago. Quite nice, really hot and dry. You get hasssled to buy things by the locals along every street though. From memory you can't buy alcohol outside of the hotels and possibly supermarkets) cos it's a muslim country so prepare for a dry new year. You can ride camels there, but I'd take a cushion cos they ain't the smoothest of rides on the old posterior!
Filbert_Ross Posted 10 October 2006 Author Posted 10 October 2006 that alcohol factor might be a big downside for nye, time to look eleswhere. still might look into it another time of year though. thanks
Thracian Posted 10 October 2006 Posted 10 October 2006 Interesting place in some ways but unless you like flies you can stick it from what I was told.
Rincewind Posted 10 October 2006 Posted 10 October 2006 plenty of sand there to build a sandcastle with the added bonus the tide wont wash it away.
Head Honcho Posted 10 October 2006 Posted 10 October 2006 I was tempted this summer until I heard about the alcohol situation If you stay in a top hotel with a nightclub and good entertainment it may still be worth it as most are AI so you won't need to go out for a beer!
Ind Coope Posted 10 October 2006 Posted 10 October 2006 Depends what you want. If its a crash out week then great and really cheap...and hot. Stayed in Port El-Kantanuoi?? and nice hotels on the beach. No problem with beers in the hotels although very weak. Some interesting cultural visits around the Medinas but you do get a lot of hassle - although I was with 24 girls - don't ask!
Foxed Posted 15 November 2006 Posted 15 November 2006 If you're taking your wife/girlfriend keep an eye on her. The locals will hassle her for whatever she wears cos of the culture difference.
cisono Posted 15 November 2006 Posted 15 November 2006 My sister loved it (but then she's Italian!). And they didn't hit on her as she was there on her honeymoon. English friends liked the resort but hated everything outside the resort (like pushy people wanting tips all the time etc).
Fosse_KC Posted 17 November 2006 Posted 17 November 2006 Bet it's stinking hot. I hope it is hot - I'm going there a week on Saturday (2th Nov) for 8 days - woohoo! I will miss 2 Fosse games though, and Sheff Weds at home (so if you wanna borrow my season tickets you're more than welcome).
