I agree with sammy insofar as I have always had excellent service from hotel staff in Tunisia without having to tip generously to get it. I've never been all-inclusive, but I wouldn't imagine the service would be any different. Generally speaking I might leave a very small tip when settling my bar bill as I go along, but only if the change is only a couple of small coins. Otherwise I wouldn't bother. But as I've always had good service I've always tipped the bar staff on leaving, the same as I would a waiter or a chambermaid.
Not necessarily half. That�s never quite the formula, unless perhaps you�re in one of the hotel�s rug shops! The rule of thumb is whether you are �reasonably� happy with the initial offer (give or take 20 percent). In your �haggling� it should always be polite and sincere. There is indeed a �knack� to it and it�s centred upon a degree of honour. If you�ve worked to build a relationship with the merchant, such as visiting from day to day, complimenting the shop, showing an interest in not being too verbal about your own nationality, you may find you are offered a somewhat lower price from the very beginning.
Do not expect to �haggle� in places such as the chemist or supermarket. Please, no.
The Tunisians are lovely people and you�ll have a fantastic time�

All these answers are correct - but Sammy might be slightly wrong in thinking you won't need any money at the bar for an AI holiday. It depends on what you want to drink, as most AI offers only serve you with foreign equivalents of the real McCoy. If you want a vodka, you'd probably get one of their makes, which might taste rather different from what you're used to. As with whisky, if they have a brand you know, it usually means you have to pay extra - and sometimes quite a bit extra.
