Hi, I'm a South African, just booked my tickets to visit Tunisia in November and have a few questions. If you could help please, english also please.

1. How is the weather in November (first two weeks)
2. The new airport at Tunis, will it be operational by then and will all airlines be flying there instead of Carthaga, and how far is this from the city. At the moment many hotels show to be close to airport and city, but will this be further out?
3. Is it easy to travel by bus or train from Tunis to Hammamet and Sousse?
4. Best things to see/do at Tunis, Hammamet, Sousse, Monastir. Anything interesting more inland from these cities, don't necessarily want to spend at the beach everyday.
5. General costs of basic things, bus/train/taxi, food, drinks, entrance fees etc.

Will probably have more questions as time gets closer, but help would be welcome, thank you very much!

i can not tell you about the weather but it should be sunny and perfect (with all those climates change it could be also rainy and cold)
the new airport is in Enfidha ( between sousse and hammamet) there is busses from there and there is a junction to highway from it
It's easy to travel by bus or train or even "louage" ( cars transporter that make u traveling from one city to another)
if you are a young guy there is big discos in sousse hammamet and tunis (great djs make their shows there), there is also too much historical sites that u can visit (near hammamet there is kerkouen) near sousse el jem an d in tunis mmm... too much things to see (roman, arab, cathagian, bysantinian, chrissian, french, spanish...)
u can find paintball ( or with the lazer gadgets ) in all those cities (or in their suburbs)
there is also several concerts all the time (u just have to check it in local news papers)
u can also find good restaurants ( try to go to goulette restaurants), u should watch a football game there (choose a game in rades stadium),
u can take a meal between 2 and 4 dollars the transport is too much cheaper than in europe and beers cost about 0,80 USD
wish i answered to your question
(of course u can do much more in tunisia but the best things to do is going with ur friends there)

Tunisia is the northernmost and smallest of all North African countries, is located on the Mediterranean coast. Relatively small relationship between the neighboring countries, it is in the Atlas Mountains and the southern desert, a region, which is part of the Sahara desert.
