Zarzis

I go there every summer, I love it.Unlike Djerba,it isn't famous(which is for the best) not many tourists, the beaches are clean and amazing, the people are kind and well used to tourists, the hotels are great and cheap and the weather is amazing.

If anyone of you needs an advice or more information, I can gladly provide you with that



Our family home's somewhere over there, just 5 minutes walking from the beach.

Agree, use to go there in the eighties and it was like a hidden gem quiet---great people and not as touristy....

I can't wait to go back.

very nice picture.so i must really visit bizerte and zarzis if ever come back.

Bizerte is amazing too.

I am planning a trip in the autumn to the south of Tunisia. I am hoping to take my daughter camel trekking/camping in the dessert for a few days.
I was looking around Djerba to stay for the rest of the time, but not sure if that would be too far to get to the dessert. Zaris sounds lovely, would that be a good place to stay over? Still checking out flights at the moment...expensive. What are the trains like to travel from Monastir to the South?

From Monastir?
I have no idea,Zarzis seems closer to the desert than Djerba and cheaper.

To get to the south, you would actually need to take a train from Sousse I believe. My BIL works in Gabes and takes the train from Sousse every week. When he comes back, he also takes the train into Sousse.

There are two train stations in Sousse - Le Gare which is the main Train station

And Bab Djedid which will take you to and from Monastir.

Ohhh I can see the logo of my internet provider lol

Ohh I can see the logo of my internet provider lol

Here is the site for the SNCFT (Société Nationale des Chemins de Fer Tunisiens). The English site doesn't work yet, but you can navigate the site in French pretty easily. There are no trains into Zarzis (that I could see), so you'll have to pick a nearby destination.

We have the same provider! LOL

Thought you and I were gonna go visit TB?

i haven't visited Zarzis yet , but i'd like to go there
it's a worth visiting place

Hey, yeah!! You should definitely come visit me! I would love to see you guys and I can take you around and show off Monastir to you - not that there is a whole lot to the city! It is a beautiful calm and quiet city and we have some really nice cafes, patisseries and restaurants here. And the beaches are beautiful too!

For Zarzis you will need to take the train from Tunis or from Sousse, stop at Gabes and from there take the coach.

Look for the train express(the English page is under construction) for Zarzis, they did a mistake you'll find Jarzis instead.

Thanks Tunsianbelle, What about flights from tunis or Monistar to Tozeur or Djerba? Do you think that would be a better option? xx

Ohhh I forgot Monastir.

I feel ashamed now, I'm Tunisian but I don't know some places.

Oh great tunisianbelle when i come next time to Monastir , i will visit u
