About SidiBouSaid.com

An independent travel guide to one small blue-and-white village on a cliff above the Gulf of Tunis — and to everything within twenty minutes of it.

What this site is

SidiBouSaid.com is a single-destination guide. We do not try to cover Tunisia; we try to cover one headland properly — the village, the palace, the marina, and the Carthage, Tunis and La Marsa trips that pair with it. Everything is written to be genuinely useful to someone planning a visit, not to fill a page with keywords.

How we write it

Pages are researched from public sources, official sites, transport operators and published visitor information, and are written by hand. Where something changes often — prices, opening days, tour availability — we say so and link to the place that has the live answer rather than freezing a number that will be wrong in a month.

How it is funded

We earn a commission when you book a tour through our GetYourGuide links, and we expect to do the same for accommodation through Trip.com. That costs you nothing extra. It also means we rank and recommend by what suits which traveller, because a booking you regret is worth nothing to us either. Our full policy is on the affiliate disclosure page.

What we do not do

We do not accept payment for a listing, a ranking or a positive review, and we do not run sponsored posts dressed up as guides. Photography is licensed under Creative Commons and credited in full.

Tell us when we are wrong

Opening hours change, cafés close, a ferry stops running. If you have been recently and something here is out of date, please tell us — corrections from readers are the fastest way this guide improves.
