We stayed in a place called Souse (sp?) We were stationed in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia (the true definition of a sh@thole). Tunisia was the complete opposite of any middle east country I had ever been to We went to Egypt as well. We knew then Islam would be an issue, in 1982, but it took 911 to wake the rest of America up..
I think it was Sousse, near Sidi bou Said. I remember spending a couple of days in Tunis at the end of the R&RS. We went to the Embassy and saw “Flash Gordon.”
