Travel Advice: Tunisia

Ssup Lads

We are organising a 12 day trip to Tunisia in September, arriving in Tunis through a ferry from mainland Europe.

Our trip will be a loop down through Mahdia, Sfax, Matmata, Douiret, Ksar Ghilan to Douz, Tozeur and then heading north back to the capital. We were initially planning to pass through the Chambi area close to Kasserine, but that has enough red written all over it for us to already take it out of our itenerary

Now, like anyone who has travelled in different regions knows how exaggerated government travel advices are sometimes.

Does anyone or is there anyone there at the moment, who really knows how it is right now?

Any input would be greatly appreciated as we have already bought the ferry tickets and will be paying for some accommodation aswel.

Cheers Guys,

Ride Safe,

Chris

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
