Question 1

What is the "Fake Guide to Kasbah Museum" scam in Sousse?

Accepted Answer

Men near the entrance of the Sousse Kasbah Museum pose as licensed guides and offer to show tourists hidden areas or skip the queue. After a short tour, they demand substantial payment claiming it was an official service. Some physically block exits until a tip is paid. Purchase tickets directly at the museum kiosk and enter without accepting help from people outside. Official guides wear visible identification and are hired only at the information desk inside.

Question 2

What is the "Camel Ride Bait-and-Switch" scam in Sousse?

Accepted Answer

Operators near the Port el Kantaoui and Boujaffar Beach area advertise camel rides at low posted prices, then add hidden fees for photos, extended rides, or a return trip that was never included. Tourists are sometimes led far down the beach before the real price is revealed. Agree on the full round-trip price in writing or with a clear verbal confirmation before mounting. Clarify whether photos are included and ask what the total cost will be for everything.
