Both Tunisia & Egypt very much do have bustling, living cities.
The pyramids are just outside of Cairo, one of the largest cities in the world (metro population above 20m - I believe no European city surpass it).
Carthage is just outside Tunis - the capital & largest city of Tunisia (not to mention 10x the population of Venice).

If I can get that in a non-touristy southern Italian province, why go to Tunisia for it? It ain't gonna be that much cheaper for safe and non-trashy accommodation and transportation.
- csomar 7y agoSure you can. The question is: what do you want to do/see? Do you want to see old or different. What is interesting to you. My point was that there is interesting sites to see beyond the popular ones. Either in Europe or elsewhere.
- csomar 7y agoWorth mentioning that Carthage is actually a neighborhood close to Tunis. It's not a deserted area.
