Does anyone know what they class as "essential travel"
As you can fly if essential by FOC rules therefore should be able to get valid insurance.
Hi Gem, hope that you and your family are well! That's ridiculous, I've seen coffee shops open in Hammamet during the month of Ramadan.... what's all that about democracy then?A fairly well known coffee shop was closed down yesterday by the police for being open during Ramadan. I thought it's a bit harsh for those who can't fast/don't want to fast and want to go else where for coffee instead of drinking in front of daily members at home who could be fasting. Apparently coffee shops need permission to be open during the Ramadan month
We're good thanks, hope you and yours are too.Hi Gem, hope that you and your family are well! That's ridiculous, I've seen coffee shops open in Hammamet during the month of Ramadan.... what's all that about democracy then?
Hi Gem, we are all okay, thank you!We're good thanks, hope you and yours are too.
It's up to the individual if they want to fast or not and some people can't fast. I guess coffee shops should get the right licence if they want to open.
Whilst in Tunisia during Ramadan in Sousse, I found it to be much more quiet during the evening's compared to Nabeul.We're good thanks, hope you and yours are too.

Good evening Aslemma, you are correct, in fact even women who are on their monthly cycle are also except and in general are supposed to make the day's up. It is really sad when people who cannot fast because they are sick feel embarrassed. I saw an old Tunisian man the other day who has diabetes and he was having a coffee, when he saw me it was obvious that he felt embarrassed. We had a little chat and I told him that he shouldn't feel embarrassed and shouldn't give a damm as to what people think.Good evening Roulla. I know that people who are ill are not expected to fast, but that can cause other problems. In the culture, as with some others, there are certain conditions which are not discussed publicly, so this can lead to a conflict between appearing as a bad moslem by not fasting or telling people why you can't, which is simply not done. I once knew a Moroccan lady who had this dilemma following a colostomy.
That's funny, the little peopleI can't say I've been out at night this Ramadan due to the little people so not sure what's its like. I do know our place is heaving as we speak as I can see on the cameras. My husband doesn't get home until 3ish when people leave.
Sousse used to be really busy during Ramadan a few years back but it's got quieter earlier all depending on when they eat breakfast.
Will checK them out, thanks again! Enjoy the rest of your trip.Have you looked at Lufthansa via Frankfurt, times no good for me but might work for you? Also look for a flight to Lyon, from there you can get to Monastir with Tunisair. Only problem with these options is travel insurance, that's where Air France wins.
