La Goulette to Sidi Bou Said (Tunisia)

[Alan2504]

Has anyone tried the train (TGM) from La Goulette (port) to Sidi Bou Said?

 

I would be interested to hear their experiences!

I didn't know they had a train ! We went with a bus tour and there were about 10 buses when we showed up.

 

The shops in Sidi - had the MOST aggressive people trying to sell you everything !! It is a quaint and old mountain town reached by very narrow, steep roads, the train would be picturesque.

 

We even were approached by an aggressive waiter at the restaurant with open air tables - he said 'how about a beer ?' We thought 'a beer in Tunesia, they must not be dry' but they were non-alcoholic, we had a laugh over that one and brought 1 back to my Dad who drinks that . It is funny to see a can that says 'beer'in Arabic.
