SOUSSE - GETTING AROUND

By Taxi

Taxi drivers in Sousse are mostly honest and will use the meter (starting around TND 0.500 daytime, TND 0.750 9PM-5AM), though some will try to charge you a high fixed fare. When entering the taxi, make sure the driver uses and restores the meter - gently gesturing to them will usually work. If a driver refuses to use the meter, just leave the car and find another driver. Taxis are yellow and have a taxi license sticker on the windshield.

By Louages (shared taxis)

Louages (shared taxis) are large cars or minibusses which start their journey when they are full. This is the most authentic way to travel around, as it's used by the locals, expect to pay 10% of the price of a taxi.Shared taxis can take you further than regular taxis, connecting the city with the biggest towns in Tunisia. Shared taxis for destinations in the same or a closely adjacent city are also yellow with a blue stripe on the middle of the taxi. Shared taxis between cities (far connections) are white with a red stripe. In Sousse, there are also white taxis with red, black, blue, and yellow stripes serving destinations in the greater Sousse area (eg. Akouda, Hammam-Sousse, Kantaoui, Chott Mariem). They leave from the "Station Louage" which is best reached by normal taxi.

By Tuk-Tuk's

Tuk-Tuk's and Mini-trains can get you a fun ride to Port El Kantaoui, which is about 7.5 miles away. They are open, shared transports and start their journey when they're full. Expect to pay around 2 dinars per journey. Tuk-tuks are bright purple.

By Bus

The bus system in Sousse can get you to various parts of the city and is quite affordable. However, it might be less comfortable and more time-consuming than taxis.

By Walking

The city center of Sousse is compact and many attractions, especially around the Medina and the beach areas, are within walking distance.
