Dorra

hi thanks for that, which one should i get off Sousse ville or the other one> need to stay or get to PEK >

Kate

I'd say Sousse Ville as I think the pther one is by the port at the southern end of Sousse while PEK is north of Sousse.

The one just past the port is the Metro Dorra and the main line is round the corner, both in Sousse itself. The other one, Kalaâ Seghira, is a few km outside Sousse. I can't find any reference to trains to/from Hammamet on the Seat61 website and unfortunately the SNCFC website thanked me for my visit but said it is "under upgrade" http://www.sncft.com.tn/

Louages go to most places very cheaply, though you have to go to the louage station to get them. I've done the trip from Sousse to Hammamet by louage but can't remember how much it cost now. Buses are also a cheap (and very interesting) way of getting around. It cost me about £1 to get to Mahdia from Sousse, a journey of about an hour and a half, during which time I was fed chocolate biscuits by local children

thanx Aslemma
do you know how long and best way to get to the following please:

PEK to El Jem?

PEK to Hammamet?

PEK to Sousse is best (and interesting on Noddy Train, have to do that one i suppose\?

many thanks
And oh yeah, cant find WWW for Frigui Park? any tips???????

many thanx
Kate

You really need to get into Sousse itself for the trains or metro and, I believe, the main bus routes, as there is no train station at PEK and I haven't seen buses there.

You must try the Noddy train from PEK to Sousse, or even the tuktuks, (little pink/purple things). Taxis are cheap but either insist on the meter being on or agree a price first.

You can get to El Jem from Sousse on the train but I haven't been able to track down trains to Hammamet so you would probably need a bus or louage.

Google threw up the following for Friguia Park, which doesn't seem much help.

There are quite a few of us on here who visit Tunisia regularly and have picked up a few tips. We all love the place and are pleased to pass on any info we feel may be useful to first-timers.
