Tunis Travel Forum

Hi, is it possible to drive from Tunis to Djerba, or is it better to fly? We are going for 4 days. How are the roads, how long will the trip take, is it easy to rent a car there?

And how is scuba diving in Djerba?

It is of course possible, but it is a long drive. I believe it will be cheaper to fly, I have driven that way several times, as it is the main route to Lybia the road is full of trucks as you get further south around Mareth, this can lead to very frustrating slow speeds. It will take the best part of a day to make the journey.

Hi,
As u suggest both solutions, I assume there is no critical financial issues. It is possible to drive from Tunis to Djerba. The roads are fine, but the drivers are not the same u re may be used to meet :p I think you are not going in holidays to drive for more than 6 hrs ;)
I will suggest flying to Djerba, and then renting a car there. You can base yourself in Djerba, and then move to tour the south.
About Scuba diving, the best location for such activities in Tunisia is definitely Tabarka.
