Tunisia by motorbike border crossing - all you need to know - Emerald Road [Motorcycle Tour], Ep. 5

After 11 hours on ferry a 40 minute wait to disembark makes us anxious. Border crossing Tunisia requires attention to details and careful preparation.
Tunisia Border Crossing - All you need to know will guide you step by step to the documents necessary and you will know what to expect when travelling here. This motorcycle tour in North Africa is part of Emerald Road Expedition that started in northern Italy 2 weeks earlier.

Din toate documentatiile acelea am inteles, ca vor sa te asiguri ca pleci de acolo cat mai curand. Suna atat de primitor... iar zgomotul facut de vamesi, pare mai degraba ca esti intr-o autobaza, iar mecanicii se injura intre ei. Dar ma bucur ca ati facut un video atat de detaliat, deoarece ma gandesc sa merg si eu prin acele locuri. La mai multe videouri!

Sper sa iti fie de folos. Noi ne-am simtit foarte bine in Tunisia, chir daca intrarea in tara ia mai mult timp decat am dori noi.

Cum ati facut rost de voucher? Pe Booking majoritatea rezervarilor sunt fara plata in avans. Si chiar daca poti plati in avans, confirmarea platii e pe formatul standard de booking si nu scrie niciunde voucher. Inseamna ca practic nu poti rezerva pe booking pentru Tunisia? Pensiunile si unitatile mici de cazare nici nu accepta card, deci nicio sansa de plata in avans.

[@motorcycle-touring-europe]

Poti face rezervarie prin o agentie care elibereaza Voucher, sau direct cu hotelurile in Tunisia (franceza mai mult, unii si engleza sau italiana) si sa le ceri sa iti trimita un document de confirmare a rezervarii care sa se numeasca voucher, cu datele lor de contact, semnat si stampilat daca se poate.

ce bataie de cap, vom avea vreo 6 cazari, din care chiar as vrea si pensiuni traditionale si o noapte in desert, iar in cazul asta chiar nu cred ca imi poate da cineva vreun voucher, mai ales ca toti vor plata la cazare...triste reglementari au astia, practic platforma booking devine absolut inutila. Sunt curioasa cum rezolvi daca alegi Airbnb, chestie care mi a trecut prin cap, avand in vedere ca sunt foarte ieftine.

[@motorcycle-tours-europe]

good, helpful info!

[@PiratDrogowy]

How did you manage to arrange a hotel voucher? How did you get around this problem? Can you help with this somehow? Did you planned all hotels before journey ?

[@motorcycle-touring-europe]

We booked with the hotel directly and asked for the voucher.

[@PiratDrogowy]

@@motorcycle-touring-europe I understand, but did you have a different hotel planned for each day?

[@motorcycle-touring-europe]

@@PiratDrogowy Yes, we had different hotels for each day.

[@PiratDrogowy]

@@motorcycle-touring-europe what ferry did you take? not all carriers require.

[@motorcycle-touring-europe]

@@PiratDrogowy Grimaldi Lines and GNV both leave from port of Palermo. You can choose depending on your own budget date/time.

[@motocoupletrip]

The Hotel voucher and farry back ticket is nesesery ?

[@motorcycle-touring-europe]

yes. Hotel voucher and return ferry ticket on paper required.

[@motocoupletrip]

​@@motorcycle-touring-europewhat will go on on case, if I go to Algeria or Libya? I don't need a return ferry ticket. And I will change the hotel very often and sleep in a tent. Will I need a hotel voucher for one night only?

[@motorcycle-touring-europe]

@@motocoupletrip You'll need to direct this questions directly to the Tunisian authorities. There are very few camping sites in Tunisia where you can sleep in your own tent. Wild camping is not recommended. Good Luck. If you find the answer, please make a comment here, maybe other riders are interested in doing the same. When we were travelling, borders between Tunisia and Algeria were closed. Enjoy!

[@motocoupletrip]

@@motorcycle-touring-europe thank you for your answer. I have to finde the answers:)

[@camelia1987]

​@@motocoupletripPlease share the info when you find out. We will have a lot of accomodations in Tunisia, including one night in a camping and all the booking reservations are with payment at the property. So I cant pay in advance, even if I want to.
