NIGHTLIFE IN TUNISIA
In Tunisia, the theatre season lasts from October to June when local and foreign (especially French) companies put on productions and concerts. International groups appear at the Tunis Theatre and in the towns of Hammamet and Sousse. There are numerous cinemas in the larger cities. There are nightclubs in most of the beach hotels as well as in the big city hotels. Belly dancing is a common cabaret feature and lively local bands often play traditional music.
Despite being the capital of Tunisia, night life here is not terribly exciting. When it gets good, it happens in conjunction with Islamic festivals, like during Ramadan and the Great Feast. And then most things happen in the streets, and do not involve the consumption of alcohol.
Discos are rather few, and many of them are dominated by men. The few women coming out, are often together with friends, brothers or husbands. There are however no reason for female travellers to stay away, the male clients are friendly.
There are some places to go out and have a drink. These places are often seedy to say the least, and not recommended for women. Bars in good hotels are far better, but most of the places can be quite boring.
In Port El Kantaoui nightlife is also low key, but most visitors can find something to their taste whether it be simply lingering over a delicious meal, sipping drinks at a waterfront cafe or enjoying the in-house entertainment at one of the hotels. There is also a casino about five minutes away. |
