I visited Tunisia back in 2019 and I fell in love with it. The people are so friendly, the culture is amazing and the food is definitely one of the best cuisines I ever tried. Communication wasn't an obstacle for me because I learned many basic words of standard Arabic from my Lebanese friends here in Brazil. That helped me a lot because all Tunisians can understand and speak standard Arabic. It wasn't hard for me because we actually have many Arabic words in our portuguese language. I also didn't feel like a complete outsider there because in general Tunisians have a sense of humor that's similar to Brazilians. Hope to visit again soon.

My dad has been to Tunisia and he loved it!!! Love Tunisia from United Kingdom!! 🇹🇳💞🥰

Big love to all our Northern Africa brother from Nigeria 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬♥️♥️♥️

Sidi Bou Said is definitely one of the most special and beautiful places in the world. I love how they didn't make changes in it and kept the gorgeous Andalusian architecture of the town which symbolizes its history. It gives me peace of mind when I visit it. Big love from Turkey to all Tunisians out there.❤️❤️

Greetings from Morocco ,Tunisia is such an amazing countryy🇲🇦💕🇹🇳

I love Tunisia from Somalia 🇸🇴❤️🇹🇳

I am Danish and have visited three times, and each time I discover the splendor of this country. Every time I visit, I feel a strange and pleasant feeling that overwhelms me. I do not know exactly what it is... Tunisia is a country of civilization, diversity, culture and great historical heritage. Unfortunately, the negative point is that there is a lack of interest in it, investment and promotion to the visitor who does not know it. I liked Tunisian food, especially couscous with asabaan and molokhiya. I got used to it and became addicted... Wait for me, Djerba, Mahdia and Sousse, I am coming.

Thanks for going here! I have a Tunisian student and when I said I watched this episode, he really opened up and started smiling. He said I was the first teacher to talk about his homeland.

i am so happy to see content creators like you share our Tunisian culture in a beautiful way like this ..you're welcome hope you had fun here

I love Tunisia. The food is awesome and the people were so nice and welcoming to us. I love how close all the family is there and people are very respectful and were kind❤️Loved all the shops in Nabeul and all the spices you can get there. A great place to go on vacation. Going back!

تونس الجميلة ، حديقة المتوسط ، يوجد الكثير ما لم تراه عين و ما لم يتخيله عقل ، انها تونس الفريدة .

I am tunisian and this is undoubtedly the most beautiful chill blog about Tunis. Simple yet specific, instead of covering everything in a hurried Confused manner. Great job man and Thanks 💜

I’ve been to Tunisia 🇹🇳 wonderful country

The good travel experiences happen when you meet the RIGHT people, Mohamed and Jamal were such cool guys and I'm so glad you recorded the encounter and how they lead you to discover such a wonderful rooftop, you're doing it right! and I definitely miss home after watching this. Looking forward to more vids from 🇹🇳 !

ماشاء الله بلد جميل تحية من ألمانيا 🇹🇳 🇩🇪 🇱🇧

Beautiful video and city! I love the architecture and the colorful souks/market! Guess I should put Tunisia 🇹🇳 on my bucket list! Safe travels Doug!

Doug, you should visit the city of Bizerte in Northern Tunisia, Africa‘s northernmost tip. It‘s an amazing city with a cool old harbour, nice architecture with beautiful coastline and amazing beaches. Just 55km North of Tunis.

I visited Tunisia this year for the fisrt time and really enjoyed exploring this beautiful country ❤🇩🇿

As a Moroccan, Tunisia is one of the Arab countries closest to my heart. I loved its food and its great people, as well as its stunning scenery. In my personal opinion, it is the country most similar to my country, Morocco. Greetings to the Arab brothers and the Tunisians in particular.

The bags are absolutely gorgeous, you can tell it’s carefully hand made with love & care.

Bro you're such a great narrator, so informative. Amazing delivery, thanks for showing me a great insight into Tunis ♥️

Tunisia is wonderful. The people are great.

We had the best holiday in Tunisia! 🇹🇳❤ The people were amazing and so helpful! Delicious cuisine a wonderful weather! 🏖 We will be back for sure! 🙌

I love Tunisians 🇹🇳 so much They are so friendly Am still currently living in the country

Always been curious of Tunisia since I made a few friends from this place, great vlog!

I knew a video on Tunisia was coming soon! Highlight of my weekend! This is awesome :)

We have just return from Tunisia and what a great place to go ,, plenty for everyone to do … will be going back soon 🇬🇧

Thank you for coming to our beautiful Tunisia 🇹🇳 ❤❤ You made me laugh when u said Tunisians speak a weird mixture of Arabic and French! We really do! 🤣 and sometimes you can find Tunisians using three (or four) languages in the same sentence 🤣 Again welcome to Tunisia 🇹🇳 Such a beautiful spontaneous video too!

Tunisia is beautiful!!!

My husband is tunisian and our family lives around 25 mins from the capital .... on the coast.... glad you liked it

ماشاءالله على النظافة وجمال تونس تحياتي من العراق

I'd love to visit Tunisia one day. Tunisian's culture, Infrastructures, cuisine, and landscapes are just distinct. Love from Algeria 🇩🇿 🇹🇳❤

The church you said is from the french colonisation is in fact older than that , it was a Chappelle built in the 1650 than a Catholic church 200 years later , Christianity in Tunisia is hundreds years older than french colonisation , actually the pope who declared 14 February is the valentine day is Pope Gelacius 1 a Tunisian .

أنا من تونس 🇹🇳 أفتخر ببلدي لدينا الكثير من المناطق الجميلة ببلادنا أتمنا أن تذهب إليها🖤

I went to Tunisia in May 2022. Very impressive. Hammamet, Tunis, Djerba. Very nice, very safe. Hopfully returning in february 2023.

Beautiful Madena, the view from the terrace, zaitouna Mosque… you took me back to 2002 when I visited Tunis for the first time … thanks for sharing!

I'm a Bangladeshi who did learn many things about Tunisian culture and their history dating back to the great history of Carthage which made me very curious to visit the country. But I wonder if I will be welcomed by its citizens

ما شاء الله على تونس الجميلة والنظيفة

As a Tunisian, I love this video and how well you've presented facts about our culture. I think you'd love Sousse and Hammamet, maybe even Nabeul (it's not too far from hammamet). All of these places are affordable and very pretty. You should check them out as well.

Love the video! Hope to see more people visiting Tunisia in the future 🇹🇳

شعب جميل و بلد رائع. تحياتي لاهل تونس الطيبين

تونس زينة البلدان 🇹🇳❤️🇹🇳

seriously I love the way you described everything, the way you talk about tunisian accent, the way you respected "the call for prayer" !! much much respect and love !! thank you !!!

فيديو زوين زوين بزاف تبارك الله عليك تونس ماحلاها 😍😍😍😍

I just came back from tunis Tunisia. I was out there for about a week with my husband. I basically missed you. I hope you enjoyed my second home. My husband is Tunisian

Went to Tunisia with a friend in 2019 and it was a great experience. We were lucky to meet a guy online in a game and he invited us to come and stay for free so we did. This also meant we had our own personal guides for the entire stay which was a huge plus. Most of the time we spent on the island Djerba but we also went to see the Sahara. We didn't see Tunis, Sfax or any of that area though. I'll definitely be coming back!

I love Tunisia, which has more human and women's rights than other Arab and North African countries. It is a country that attaches importance to the freedom of people and women. greetings from Azerbaijan 🇹🇳❤️🇦🇿

Looks so beautiful! The streets look so clean! It shows how clean and educated the people of Tunis are.

So glad that you're finally in my home country 😊 enjoy your time there

I am a Tunisian living in Canada Thank you for using your plater-form to show people how beautiful and unique my country is, it's always my goto vacation site EVERY summer, I am happy that you realize how cool and laid back Tunisians are too, because that's what gives the place its charm I don't come from the Capital Tunis, but i'm from another beautiful city way up north 60KM away from Tunis Called BIZERTE, maybe you should visit there one day if you look for calmer beach time and a more relaxed town and a lot of delicious Mediterranean seafood Cheers,

My best travel vlog so far because I lived in Tunisia about 3 years and all I can say is that Tunisain people are friendly and welcoming. Keep up the great work brother!

Indeed,as the man said you can't compare those precious pieces with the Chinese art. Each Culture has its uniqueness. Greetings from Moroccan living in China. I love Tunisia ❤️

i am so happy to see content creators like you share our Tunisian culture in a beautiful way like this ...

planning to visit Tunisia by February, can’t wait to see this beautiful city soon 😊

جميله ياتونس ❤️🇮🇶

I really enjoyed this video and I like the way u introduce things and I think everyone is excited now to come and visit Tunisia ❤ Thanks again this amazing video 🙏 #From_Tunisia 🇹🇳

They filmed Star Wars in the southern part of Tunisia. Also there are several archeological sites. There is a festival in Douz with horses. El Jem is another archeological site. Don’t forget to go to Hammamet and Sousse, so beautiful! Loved this country.

it almost looks and feels like a southern european city and not some crazy conservative muslim world city

My professors in college are Tunisian so I was so curious about what Tunisia looks like, and It looked so classy just like my professors 🥰

Thx guys I love your conturys too it’s so crazy I’m from tunisia love for you all 🇹🇳

I am happy because I watched the video and I thank the owner of the content who published the video and accepts Tunisia and its dialect, even with its flaws Tunisian and proud ❤

Moroccan-American. Looking at Tunis really resembles back home in Maroc looked beautiful.

I Love my Tunisie ❤️❤️🇹🇳 and Thank you for this wonderful gesture to Tunisia.

Makes me so happy to see our beautiful country getting the attention it deserves from nice people like yourself, really. I hope you had/have a great stay and know that once you visit Tunisia, it becomes a piece of you and vice versa so yeah. Great video!

It really makes me happy when I see RU-vidrs showing the real beautiful face of my country 🇹🇳 It's so nice that you enjoyed your tour in the Medina, you can also visit Sidi Bou Said, La Marsa, Carthage there are a lot of interesting things to see there... Also visit the Cap Bon it's amazing and it's not so much far from Tunis.

Green Tunisia is a tourist country with excellence 🇹🇳🇩🇿🍀

Tunisie is a fantastic country, there's a Friendly people beautiful cities, pure heritage Greetings from Morocco ❤❤❤

Thank you for visiting our country, it is really amazing to see content creators like you exposing the culture and the rich history, too bad the gov doesn't care or else this country has strong potential to flourish. anyway, i hope you enjoyed your stay and come again to explore even more places in Tunisia the most or one of the most progressive countries in the region by far.

try to visit bizerte, sousse, monastir, nabeul, hammamet, kelibia, mahdia, tozeur, sidi bou said, marsa, carthage and gammarth.. many cool places

There are some amazing aspects about the Medina. The shopkeepers speak about any language and all languages I know fluently. When the hunt tourists, they also guess the native language of folk passing by and most often correctly. Sometimes they listen in, but I guess they can tell based on clothing or whatever. Quite impressive. The guys are much less gluey than in pure tourist centers, so it's not really painful to walk through the Medina. If you talk to guys they will start showing you around. A visit to the roofs is standard, then you'll be brought to a spices seller, and incents shop, carpets and leather works. Most of the things you find in the Medina are not really interesting, but there are some really nice shops selling olive wood items, some african style lamps and furniture and if you like it a lot of leather works and ceramics. Ceramics are better bought in Nabeul in the outskirts. What I find most interesting is that the Medina combines a couple of parallel realities. There are people just living in the Medina, going to coffee shops, then there is the tourist infrastructure and at the same time a kind of shopping mall where Tunisians living in the vicinity buy their stuff - all in one place. It's more obvious if you see it in different seasons. What Doug describes as a laid back relaxed athmosphere is as far as I see it the most typical aspect of Tunisia. When I moved to Tunis, there were no barriers or military downtown. During the Arab Spring, there was some mild turmoil. I have the impression that people got used to the barricades and nobody thought about whether they are still needed, so they will be there until erosion does its job and the guys standing guard enter retirement. As for the police, I'm not quite sure what they actually do all day long, but they rarely interfere with people. The guys downtown try to look touch and menacing at times, but that's it. Traffic control tries to earn bribes, but if you pretend not to understand they just let you go because you block their space. While they talk to you, cars pass by ignoring the red light, roll over the green strip or speed, nobody really cares about it. Once I parked illegally and when I came back I found a police men guarding my car so that the pick up wouldn't toe it off. He said I wouldn't find the car (he saw my foreign numbr plates). He didn't try to get a bribe and was actually upset when I wanted to give him some money for him being nice. If you get caught by an exceptionally zealous police officer for speeding or passing a red light, you can argue with him that you really need to go home fast so that the takeaway food doesn't get cold and you won't get into trouble with your wife. Chances are good that they will let you go. It's quite funny here. If you are in Tunis, go to La Goulette to eat some fish. The quality is by far not as good as it was 10 years ago and it became a bit price, but the athmosphere is still very nice, especially in the evening. Visit Sidi Bou Said, it's really beautiful, but don't go to the Cafe des delices, that's a tourist trap. Everything else except the shops is really nice. You can always ask people (outside of the medina to evade the standard tour) for restaurants, clubs, bars, coffee shops. The entertainment side of Tunis is not as vivid as what you would find in a western city, but there is a lot of variation and its fun. If you wanted to learn some of the crafts, I would not be surprised if some shopkeepers would let you join for a couple of weeks. Tunisians are generally super friendly (unless you have to do anything related to bureaucracy or phone/internet lines - that's a complete catastrophe).

You can visit the interior regions and cities, for example (Zaghouan, El Kef ....) and the south of the country, where you will find the desert and its wonderful atmosphere. It is not limited to the capital only, our country is distinguished by its differences and different civilizations 🇹🇳❤️🇹🇳

Thank you for the great video and welcome to Tunisia 🤗 but you should not miss the south especially Tozeur where you Can enjoy sunset on the Sand dunes,mountain oasis, briks architecture .. a lot to see ! Djerba also is Amazing, Matmata, and so on .. welcome again 🥰

I really love your photography it makes me see the video without skipping a second

04:15 IT IS CALLED THE sea gate it used to be a door that opens into the sea before it retreated to the train station down the road u came from.anyways welcome to tunisia

As a tunisian girl 🇹🇳, i felt so happy that you came to visit our country.😁 There were no tourists from the other countries here since AGES! (well, except for those who are from the nearby arabic countries: algeria, Libya...) most of the people usually don't care that much about us so they don't make videos about our country, but you even made a blog! That was awesome, i never see blogs about Tunisia that much often. thank you, and feel free to come visit us once again! 😃

All my love for the Tunisia peoples i am Abdul from Algeria living in the US .(:

Doug!!! The whole time you were in the handmade bag store I kept yelling at you on my TV screen to get one for your mom!! How could you leave without getting the number one lady in your life one of those cute bags!!! lol They were so beautiful! Please say you went back and got one for her. Nice to see you in Tunisia

Thanks for sharing different places from our beautiful country! Hope you have a great trip there and get to know new nice Tunisian friends! ❤️

I'm Tunisian 🇹🇳❤️ and I'm so proud of it!!

I'm happy to see you speak about our culture ❤️🇹🇳 welcome and hope you enjoy and thank you 😍😍😍

Love From Bangladesh 🇧🇩

I know every single place you went to .. i feel kinda proud seeing someone talking about the country that i've been living in since birth ! .. that's incredible ! KEEP GOING ! btw you need to visit bizert it's such a beautiful city

If you think tunis the capital is laid back you should visit the south. I myself am a German but have Tunisian parents and lived there for a while, the people r extremely friendly and sitting with them at the cafe for hours talking about anything has been something i missed so much

Next time i visit Tunisia i will def. hop by their shops, those are the one of the most unique artworks and patchwork i´ve ever seen

beautiful vidéo tunisia our neibghor im from algeria even algeria has a french style i hope u will visit it and descover it 🥰

Thank you for what you do, your support and your love ❤️🙏
