Understand
The Tunisian Central Coast is especially popular for its beaches on the island of Djerba, but the hinterland, especially in the vicinity of Matamata and Medenine, is much more typical and interesting.
Speak
French is understood and spoken everywhere on the coast. On the other hand, in the hinterland, its mastery is much less frequent and Arabic is the language of communication.
To go
By car, access, from Tunis, is carried out by the A1 motorway which is in good condition, although it is heavily used.
Circulate
For the traveler who will be content to visit the coastal tourist towns, public transport (train for long distances, taxi for short journeys) is quite suitable. Those who wish to discover the hinterland will have every interest in having a personal vehicle.
