Hi rmj
In have never have never stayed in mahdia but have visited there its nice you will enjoy it.I would think that all the food will be hallal so wouldnt think there will be a problem there.I have just spoke to my sister in law and she says the weather is nice in the day but goes cold at night so take some warm things with you.Eating out in tunisia is not expensive and also lots of places for snacks.regards sb123

Hi again

Sorry forgot to mention the sights there are lots El Jem(collesium)sousse the medina is well worth a look if its not to expensive to get there and port el kantaoui 5 mins from there nice harbour and restaurants ect.Monastir nice but quiet.On a budget not sure whether you will be able to afford to go to sahara and visit the cave houses of matmata but also impressive visit the photo gallery some goo pics happy hols sb123

I have stayed in Mahdia many times, i usually stayed at Iberostar Fatimi, but also at Mahdia Palace...went to VN and it was nice, a lot of italians.

Yeah like sb123 said visit el jem....the beaches are beautiful there a lot nicer than hammamet or sousse...

The weather isnt all that warm at the moment, i wouldnt say it were sun bathing weather. The nightlife is limited, and as its not the summer not sure if anything is open, but the "discos" are either Mahdia Beach or Bario Latino (this is the better of the 2)

Opposite Fatimi - which is a few doors down from your hotel is a little strip of shops, there is a supermarket there, and a couple of restaurants...one called Florida...their spagetti is yum...also they do crepes which are delicious...along there is the quad ikes which are fun to do
