Lately Tunisia’s seen a huge increase in Europeans population mostly retired couples living with our communities escaping expensive housing and expenses in their countries !
& whats the problem with that ?? u go to another country with ur own money ; u gonna tell people don't come to my country ?? this is why tunisia won't get any better
really happy to see you visit us here and hope ur enjoying ur stay ! if you haven't already i recommend you check sidi bou said in the carthage region in the capital and the beaches in Monastir ( since its near sousse ) , monastir is a bit different than sousse since it has less tourists but more french/belgian nationals that reside in tunisia
Mindestlohn in Tunesien circa 140 Euro the prices are ok for us tunisians who live in europe or for tourists like yourself , but for the locals it is concidered very expensive
I don’t know about Switzerland but recently travel to London, Marrakech, Casablanca, Tangier and living in Tampa florida. I see these prices very reasonable. $5 a kilo turkey and beef 7$ looks very reasonable. Other prices were even lower than any other place. Moonshine you been large number of cities around the world. No one can be better judge than you. Don’t even expect full rotisserie chicken $4 any place even in india or pakistan
It is really difficult to say, I see a vast increase in prices since the pandemic which has cost a lot of money and destroyed so many lives financially as it was really badly managed and the rich got richer and everybody else poorer and now we have that inflation because of it also. The governments and the elites only shrug their shoulders now. I think India has it better than many countries, just look at Malaysia where many meals have doubled, it is crazy.
Tunisia wins gold medals every year for the quality of olive oil. As for the high prices of olive oil, this is due to private companies that pack it in crystal bottles with a beautiful appearance and sell it at a high price. As for the country, it has olive oil of excellent quality at a very cheap price that is available in stores. The bottle is made of plastic and not crystal. I do not know if you find it there or not
@@rebelllionlad8049capitalism here still a mf, with some money and good connexions you can own the market with laws that's written on your favor to eliminate your opponants and control the prices... So the farmer is selling the oil with a much lower price but these companies buys most of it. Then you should get a connexion to buy it from the farmer! the hustle is real here
@@yvesthesleeve Carrefour is the most expensive supermarket compared to other ones in Tunisia ... Our local supermarket is MG: Magasin Général and I tend to buy more from MG ... Unfortunately because of the inflation, we have to compare prices and we, as Tunisians, realized that we have to buy local mostly ! From souks and local small farmers and so on, and it is fresher as well ... Aziza is also a Tunisian local market with more than 500+ stores around Tunisian governorates ...you can check all of them online, they all have catalogues that change over time ...
@@mehdihammami3740 Even if in border towns they smuggle food ; they don't rely on it on daily basis, they just buy some stuff from time to time to change even though there is no better quality than Tunisian products, as I tried some stuff ! There isn't a specific place but for a lot of stuff, except food, grossistes are cheaper than supermarkets, for fruits and vegetables it's OK to buy from supermarkets as most of the time they are fresh otherwise we buy from small fruit and veggie vendors, souks and the rest from small shops as well, Aziza and MG whenever they have better prices
I see, I was not aware of that, especially since we are from Switzerland that I thought had the best diary products in the world...famous for cheese and chocolates...
@@yvesthesleeve all square minarets are Moroccan style from almohads dynasty.. same dynasty that built koutoubia in Marrakech and Hassan in Rabat and la giralda in Sevilla.. by the way almohads ruled Tunisia and Algeria and some parts of Portugal and Spain in the 12th century
Interesting to see it from a foreigner's perspective, I have been living abroad for 8years and lots of things have changed LOL (for the worse, unfortunately). I hope you're having a good time there! :)
This is the second tourist I noticed doing this who is looking for everything negative in Tunisia (the other is English). in addition I noticed that when they were in Morocco it was quite the opposite, there everything was beautiful and extraordinary even for simple things they showered her with praise
@@yvesthesleeveit seems that you are ill or.......... in all countries there are negative points. you are a tourist you come to us as a guest you have a good time without trying to harm the reputation of the country and looking for negative points (which I noticed that you did quite the opposite in Morocco (the Moroccan science fiction beach....Moroccan cuisine.....and when you see the video: nothing special) finally I wonder for what purposes you do all this. because you're not the only one doing this these days
The family are digital nomads and very well travelled, so have alot to compare it to. As always, he's respectfully telling it as he sees it, the good, the bad and the ugly. He's entitled to his opinion as are you and I.
You seem to have a pattern in your videos. I've seen it in all of them. You don't go to the touristy areas, but instead you go to low-income ones. The internet is packed with beautiful videos of what Tunisia can offer. But instead, you seem to focus only on what seems to be "negative". Now, you're trying to make Tunisia look too expensive even for tourists. I know if I'm visiting the United States for example, I wouldn't be hanging out in Detroit or any of the many poor neighbohoods in the country. I'd be enjoying my time and showcasing its beauty and cool experiences. I especially wouldn't be making such videos in those low-income areas, unless if I'm trying to make the entire country look unattractive. I don't trust you, and I honestly don't appreciate what you're doing. But that's okay, Tunisia's culture, long history, and beauty speak for itself.
@yvesthesleeve I highly doubt it. Take Italians, for example. Lots of them are moving to many Tunisian expensive cities like Hammamet, Sousse, and many others. Yet, they're saving a lot of their Euro money on local groceries, bills, etc... because life in Tunisia is simpler and way cheaper than Italy. The same goes for France, Germany, and, of course, the Netherlands. Of course when you buy foreign products, you'll pay a lot of money for them. But you really don't have to, especially if you want to save money. Lots of Tunisian and local products will be more than sufficient. Italians apparently have some tax shenanigans in Italy that simply driving them to leave their own country and come to the safe haven that is Tunisia. So yeah, I call b.s. when a European claims that life in Tunisia is "expensive" even for them. I mean, honestly, if you can't make it, as a visitor by the way who's here to spend money in a developing country like Tunisia, I guess even God can't help you. I sense that you're here actively trying to make my country look bad. As I explained, you have the pattern of focusing on the negative aspects. As if you're trying to say, "This is what Tunisia is all about." But again, Tunisia's beauty will always speak for itself. It's just, a questionable behavior, that's all. Like, why would you be taking your family to low-income neighborhoods knowing that statistically speaking, it has a higher crime rate? Why would you want to put your family in that position? Yeah, you're here with an agenda. Or, maybe you're disorganized, you didn't do any research, have no idea what the country can offer, and thought it's a good planning to simply land in some country and just start walking. But I highly doubt it.
This is the second tourist I noticed doing this who is looking for everything negative in Tunisia (the other is English). in addition I noticed that when they were in Morocco it was quite the opposite, there everything was beautiful and extraordinary even for simple things they showered her with praise
You have completely missed the point of his vidéos. He is trying to give his impression of the real country and experience it as a local. He isn't interested in tourist places or where rich people or expats live.
@@shaunahawkins4338 That's what I thought at first too. As a matter of fact, I love watching foreigners enjoying a full good and bad Tunisian experience because I truly know how precious of an experience it is. Until I started noticing an odd pattern with this guy's videos. Here's the issue: Every country has a negative thing or two. Because countries are made out of people. People are humans. Humans ruin everything because we suck. It's simple. Showcasing that side of the coin, in my opinion, should be celebrated because it represents an honest detail of a society's character. However, the issue here is when the focus and the showcasing targets only those "negatives", as if what's being said is, "This is country "X"; this is all it can offer. This is what it's all about; a dump." Which is misleading and not true. UK is beautiful, but have you seen Manchester lately??? Holy... tits!!! But! Does Manchester represent the entire English experience? No! It's just a part of it, and it's just going through a rough time; things change. It's absurd to only showcase Manchester as if "this is how the entire country look like". C'mon man what are you doing? You wanna experience the "authentic side" of a culture? That's great! Have fun! You most definitely will because the best traveling stories are not made in "posh" hotels. But to avoid confusion, show the other side of the coin too. It's only fair because not everyone has the opportunity to travel. Otherwise you'll be contributing in creating harmful stereotypes. That's what this is all about; that's all.
I'm surprised how knowledgeable you are about tunisian products! N like you said the barely have FOODS or healthy stacks at any sort of supermarkets there. It costs a fortune to eat "barely" healthy in tunisia
Tunisian products, my friend, are among the best in the world. Carthage has long had wheat and legumes and everything is available. Tunisian milk is of high quality.
Whole cooked chicken for $4 is absolutely a good deal ! You keep saying not too expensive it’s not expensive at all comparing prices here in USA come on!
that chicken is cheap true, but some things are expensive. Overall expensive compared to many Asian countries, but kind of cheap compared to western ones. Although I must say it is very similar to Spain or France or Germany prices, but lower than Switzerland of course
also PLEASE do not drink tap water here in tunisia too much , don't get me wrong its definetly better and cleaner than a lot more countries in the world but its certaintly not germany level . you can get by drinking it from time to time but that shouldn't be all the water you drink ( even if you google it , it says that its not recommended ) because the amount of minerals differs from botteled water and can be harmful in large quantities especially to children i'd recommend smth like 80/90% botteled water 10% tap water that would be the healthiest minerals wise
Well, so far we only drank the tap water with sometimes a bottle on the go. We drink the tap water in every country where the locals drink it, we are in our 8th year on the road as a family. Never have any problem.
Carrefour est l'un des supermarchés les plus chers en Tunisie. Les prix sont assez exorbitants. Pour vous ce n'est pas une référence pour savoir les prix exactement. Mais bon c'est pour avoir une petite idée c'est tout.
Tunisia is cheap in living and in everything... but this is for tourists and that is thanks to the currency difference... As for Tunisians, it is unbearable because of the high prices in everything and the low wage rate. 🤷
You know we are from Switzerland, right? We hold no interest in exploring Germany or Europe in general. And I don´t think that calling food cheap there is the right thing to say, it is Europe. But I am sometimes over there, I have two publishers over in Germany, one in Hamburg and one in Berlin.
@@yvesthesleeve frankly just check online lidl or aldi in Germany is half price what you pay for the same products in tunisia and go to fish market in " marchè central " in tunis ,even sardines are not affordable for locals any more 🙌😪😪😪🙌
