Gabes is a city located in southeastern Tunisia, known for its beautiful beaches and desert landscapes. The currency used in Gabes is the Tunisian Dinar. The city is famous for its traditional souks, where you can find a variety of local handicrafts and spices.

When to visit
The best time to visit Gabes is during the spring months of March to May when the weather is mild and pleasant. Summer months from June to August can be extremely hot, with temperatures reaching over 40 degrees Celsius. Winter months from December to February are cooler but still comfortable for exploring the city. It is advisable to avoid visiting during the peak of summer due to the scorching heat.

Traveller tips
When visiting Gabes, make sure to stay hydrated and protect yourself from the sun, especially during the summer months. It is recommended to dress modestly out of respect for the local culture. Bargaining is common in the souks, so don't be afraid to negotiate prices. Try local dishes like couscous and brik, a savory pastry filled with egg and tuna. Lastly, be prepared for a slower pace of life in Gabes and embrace the relaxed atmosphere.
