I can only relate to my experience from 2004 - 2009, obviously a lot has changed since then. I am going back this year as I believe it is safe to do so based on information from a friend in Douz.

I entered Tunis on the car ferry, twice from Marseilles and once from Genoa.  If you can book on a Tunisian Ferry (CTN) then the immigration and vehicle importation can be done on board, albeit by standing in a long queue, (ie anything up to 2-3 hours). As the crossing is 24 hours the ferries rarely depart on time, as long as they leave on the correct day and arrive the next it seems to be acceptable.
 +
Consider the various accommodation options on board, my preference is always a private cabin with shower and toilet.
 +
Food - I found the best option to be the "complete" booked with the main restaurant, this gives you 3 meals Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner in the order determined by your departure time.
 +
You can do the voyage "on the cheap" but if you are going to spend in the region of £800 on the crossing (with a vehicle) what difference another £200 or so for a little luxury.

Visiting Tunisia[edit]

Give a brief overview of what it's like to visit. How easy is the border, how safe is the country, are there great things to see and do, etc.' I can only relate to my experience from 2004 - 2009, obviously a lot has changed since then. I am going back this year as I believe it is safe to do so based on information from a friend in Douz. I entered Tunis on the car ferry, twice from Marseilles and once from Genoa. If you can book on a Tunisian Ferry (CTN) then the immigration and vehicle importation can be done on board, albeit by standing in a long queue, (ie anything up to 2-3 hours). As the crossing is 24 hours the ferries rarely depart on time, as long as they leave on the correct day and arrive the next it seems to be acceptable. Consider the various accommodation options on board, my preference is always a private cabin with shower and toilet. Food - I found the best option to be the "complete" booked with the main restaurant, this gives you 3 meals Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner in the order determined by your departure time. You can do the voyage "on the cheap" but if you are going to spend in the region of £800 on the crossing (with a vehicle) what difference another £200 or so for a little luxury.

My Landy had over 400 watts of light on the front, which made driving at night relatively safe, my friend, in his Defender with standard lights, refused after one late arrival in Aghir, Djerba, to drive at night again.
