BEN GUERDANE:
Practicalities
HOTELS AND ALTERNATIVES
Limited on your choice, but you will find an adequate room in one of the town's around 10 hotels.

RESTAURANTS AND ALTERNATIVES
There is even less to choose from restaurants than hotels. There are no more than a handful of restaurants.

NIGHTLIFE
Nothing.

CHANGE MONEY
There are all normal banks in Ben Guerdane, where money can be changed, and withdrawn from major credit cards. Ben Guerdane is also the city in Tunisia which has the most active black market. This principally applies to Libya dinars — where you normally get three times the official Libyan rates — but in general you should be able to get Tunisian dinars at a slightly better exchange rate than in the banks.
Please note that all black market exchange is illegal, and if you get caught you could face an unpleasant situation.

TRANSPORT
Ben Guerdane is well served with fast shared taxis, that mostly run on Houmt Souq, Tataouine and Medenine, but often also distant destinations in Tunisia. There are also different forms of communications that will bring you to the Libyan border.
