Cheapest cities in Tunisia

Hi,

I will try to answer each question as listed.

1) What are the cheapest cities in Tunisia?
This is a loaded question because I will answer this based on cost and safety from my experience. Most coastal cities such as Sousse, Monastir, Mahida and Sfax are both inexpensive by western standards and safe. Tunis of course is more expensive. Inland cities are less expensive, but may be not as safe for foreigners especially close to borders with Algeria and Libya.

2) Why are they cheap?
Supply and demand

3) What is the average budget for one person in these cities?
I live in Sousse near the beach and live comfortably on $800 u.s.d. including rent, food, transportation, entertainment and travel around Tunisia.

3) Is it easy to find a job?
NO! My understanding is that employers in Tunisia are restricted from hiring foreigners as they must first prove that a Tunisian is not qualified for the position. This may help with positions such as foreign language instruction however.

4) Are these cities (listed above) expat friendly?
YES! My experience is that Tunisia in general is a very friendly country and welcomes foreigners.

I hope this information helps.
