Morocco or Tunisia?
The practical differences, drawn from our own write-ups rather than from a brochure. We are not going to tell you which is better - they are different trips. What follows is what actually changes between them.
Morocco
Sensory maximalism - souks, spices and mint tea poured high; bargaining is conversation.
What we have written up
- Abderrahman Slaoui Museum museum
- Achakar Beach beach
- Agadir Beach Promenade promenade
- Agadir Fish Market market
- Agadir Marina marina
- Agdal Gardens garden
Worth knowing before you go
- Cash for souks and taxis; cards in riads and restaurants
- Tipping small amounts often - a few dirhams for services
- Petit taxis are metered by law - insist or agree first
Tunisia
Mediterranean ease over deep Arab-Berber roots; gentler bargaining than its neighbours.
What we have written up
- Ain Draham mountain town
- Bizerte port city
- Bou Hedma National Park national park
- Boukornine National Park national park
- Bulla Regia ruins
- Cap Angela headland
Worth knowing before you go
- The dinar is a closed currency - exchange in country, spend before leaving
- Tipping small change to 10% is appreciated
- Louages - shared vans - link towns cheaply and constantly
Counts describe this site, not the countries: "places written up here" means how many pages we have finished, and it keeps growing. Currency, plugs and languages are practical facts and change rarely (plugs and voltage: Wikipedia, «Mains electricity by country» (after the IEC World Plugs list), read 15 October 2026); check anything visa-related with the relevant official source before you book.
