🧠 Travel hacks

• Buy a local SIM card at the airport for cheap data, but pre‑install a RoamJet eSIM on your phone for instant activation on arrival.
• Use the CTM bus network for affordable, air‑conditioned rides between cities; tickets can be purchased via the official app.
• Visit major attractions early in the morning (8‑10 am) to avoid crowds and enjoy cooler temperatures.
• When bargaining in souks, start at 50% of the asking price and smile – a friendly tone goes a long way.
