Ferries operate between Sfax and the Kerkenah Islands twice-daily, and between Jorf and Jerba Island regularly during the day. It is essential to purchase a ticket before boarding the train, or the traveller will have to pay double the fare. Several daily trains run on each route, many with air-conditioned accommodation and a buffet. It is highly advisable to book in advance, if possible, especially for the more popular air-conditioned routes. Tunisia has a extensive road network.
Traffic drives on the right.
Intercity bus services are cheap and reasonably comfortable. The destination is written in French and Arabic on the front of the bus. Passengers are allowed 10kg of luggage without additional charge. Each piece of luggage must, however, be registered. They have no fixed schedule and leave their respective departure points when full.
