For those looking to travel and volunteer in Tunisia, Guesthouse Al Medina in the historic city of Bizerte offers a unique and rewarding experience. Nestled within the atmospheric medina, just minutes from the sea and harbour, this traditional guesthouse welcomes volunteers into a warm and friendly community. Beginning in late July or early August, and with flexibility for other dates, this is a chance to immerse yourself in Tunisian culture while contributing to a meaningful local project.
Travel and volunteer Tunisia: Tasks & Roles
As part of this travel and volunteer Tunisia experience, volunteers support the smooth daily running of the guesthouse. Responsibilities may include preparing meals, light cleaning, helping with guest arrivals, or assisting with general organisation. The expected contribution is approximately 30 hours per week, with tasks and schedules discussed in advance to ensure a comfortable arrangement for everyone involved. Volunteers are valued not just for their help, but for the positive spirit and energy they bring to the team.
Travel and volunteer Tunisia: Living & Getting There
Each volunteer is provided with a private room in the medina, just a short walk from the beach and bustling harbour. Meals are included throughout your stay, and any tips received from guests are yours to keep. The surrounding area offers a rich mix of experiences—from local markets filled with fresh produce and traditional spices to peaceful nearby forests for weekend walks or quiet reflection. The nearest airport is Tunis–Carthage International, with detailed travel guidance provided once your stay is confirmed.
