Roads in Tunisia

Compared to other African countries, Tunisia's roads are not all bad. There are some points where highways can be found even though there aren´t very many. What you will find are narrow tarmac roads linking major cities. To access villages or smaller towns the roads are usually dirt tracks. What you always do find is a lot of traffic. The cars and trucks arefairly old and full of luggage, people etc. What this means is that accidents are common and you will usually see one while traveling from one city to another. The good thing about Tunisian roads are the spectacular landscapes. It is very common for roads run through empty stretches where all you see is a vast horizon of sand and a few trees.
