Деньги и наличные

Валюта: TND · Tunisian dinar

The dinar is a closed currency: you cannot legally bring it in or take it out. Withdraw at ATMs (foreign cards work widely) or exchange at banks and keep the receipts so you can change leftover dinars back before departure. Cash is needed for taxis, louages, markets, cafes and tips; cards work in larger hotels and some restaurants.

Чаевые

Tipping in Tunisia is appreciated rather than required. Small tips are common for table service, hotel staff, guides and attendants (hammams, toilets). Amounts are modest; leaving around 10% or rounding up in restaurants is a common guideline in tourist areas (varies).
