Hi All,
Going to Tunisia next week and staying in Sousse for 7 days although I will be happy to make day trips around ad maybe stay elsewhere for a couple of days. It is not a strictly birdwatching tour and i do hope to see some sites, landscapes and culture. I will not have a car so will be at the mercy of taxi drivers for some of the areas.
Are there any birds which one should focus on in that region? On top of that I would like to see mammals too, reptiles and butterflies.
My plan is to stay in the El Jem to Tunis region. Here is a list of places to visit. Would i be aiming for too much? Some places will be dropped! What are the main tourist sites of Tunisia?
