currency in Tunis?

[bams1954]

Can we use Euros or will we need to x-change upon arrival?

They will accept euros, US dollars, British pound. :D

Personally, I would highly recommend exchanging upon arrival. The Tunisian Dinar is a closed currency and making transactions in anything but dinars would be illegal. Are there shopkeepers who would accept standard currencies, sure, but it would definitely be an under-the-table kind of thing. The other point is that bargaining is required, and in my mind at least, it is going to be harder to keep track of the equivalent price in the dinars as you bargain. I believe that tourists are allowed to reexchange upon to 100 dinars back upon departure.

The Bardo Museum will only accept dinars, so plan for that at the very least.
