currency for Monastir Tunisia

[mrsann]

We are going to Monastir staying on an all inclusive basis in November. As the currency is not available outside Tunisia would it be good idea to take some eurosfor initial use due to the French influence? We hope to see places of interest and hopefully take a least one boat trip so does anyone have any ideas of how much currency we would need for two weeks please

Euros won't be much use. Take plastic and get money out of a wall. Plenty of cash machines, especially at airport.
Depends what souvenirs or gifts you want to buy. Souks are cheap, you can haggle in the markets

Thank-you I usually find plastic and hole in the wall the best way bt wasn't sure if they were available there as we have had problems finding them in Egypt. W are well travelled and used to bargaining o no promere don'twnt souvenirs just maybe a few top up Christmas presents
