We drove to the airport of their hotel through the desert. The airport is small, there are few departure and arrival flights.
There are few cafes, and the range of dishes is not pleasing - a couple of stale sandwiches are unlikely to please. Duty free is not about anything at all.

A good, convenient airport. It's cool, everything is clear by navigation. There is a place to exchange currency, since the exchange rate is the same throughout Tunisia, you do not need to profit. Wonderful border guards and customs officers: tell them "marhaba" and "shukran", smile, and they smile back at you. It was a little annoying to fill in entry visas - there are few places to sit down and write, the hall is dim, it is inconvenient to write...
Disgusting employees at passport control. It feels like they were specially trained that way. They know two words in Russian and okay, these would be the words "come through", etc. They are trained to say "go" "come on". There was a strong desire to explain to him who he is in general :) Apparently they think that Tagil is coming from Russia))
I have flown to Tunisia more than once, Enfida airport arrived, we quickly passed control, as the flight attendants gave us forms on the plane, we filled them out on the plane, there were no problems, everything was organized. No one grabbed our hands. I really like to relax in Tunisia. The last time we had a vacation was in September 2019.
People, be careful. The porters (they were wearing blue PORTER T-shirts) at Enfida airport are very aggressive towards tourists, snatch bags out of their hands when boarding the bus and demand money in the amount of at least 10 euros for allegedly escorting you to the bus. Pure extortion of money from tourists, as I understand it, is put on stream. This is the first time we have encountered such cases, there is no such thing in Russia, there was no such thing abroad either. 2 minus: there are no vending machines with water in the transit zone, they could only buy water in a burger joint for 2.59 euros for 0.5. which is very expensive. In Pulkovo / Domodedovo, for comparison, 100 rubles of water. Of the advantages, I note that the airport is empty, there are no queues. but now it's clear why. 3 minus (possibly due to low workload): there is no soap and toilet paper in the toilets. Bring everything your own)
It's all good. Clear. It's immediately hot and stuffy from that climate. Only a very long passport control. 2 windows were working. Russians, as always, distinguished themselves by their "excellent" behavior. Customs officers and guards periodically ran to them in turn. Maybe that's why it took so long. And I also remembered that only dollars and euros are accepted at the airport. And apart from duty free, there are practically no shops. Or they are closed. We have been there since October 16, 2019. For 8 nights. For them, it's the end of the season, maybe that's why the shops weren't working.
A large spacious airport with a very convenient location, everything is compact, convenient, you quickly go through registration and passport control, we all went through it quickly in 15 minutes, everything is very cool
There is a gift shop, the prices are quite acceptable, they are a little too high compared to the city ones. There is a dutifrey, it seemed to me that the prices are higher than in Vnukovo. There is also a bistro where you can have a snack. The staff works clearly and harmoniously. The only drawback is that I lowered the rating, the toilets were not cleaned and the children's room for changing babies.
The airport itself is large, modern, there are many places to wait for the plane, there is a cafe to have a snack, there is a vending machine with water, someone wrote that it was not there. There are large air conditioners in the waiting rooms. I liked it, but it has its drawbacks. I'm sorry for the details, but there were no hooks in any of the stalls in the women's bathroom to hang a bag. There were no napkins to wipe your hands, and there were no dryers either.
Large, modern, comfortable, more or less clean. I didn't like that only one cafe and 2 duty free shops were open. Other cafes were closed for some reason. There are no vending machines with drinks. If you just want to drink, stand in line with everyone. And the queue, accordingly, is considerable. Drinks in 330ml cans. That is, it will not work to take a sip and put it in a backpack. It is not convenient to travel. And now the most interesting thing: they announced the flight delay, and after a while they announced the end of boarding. Something was missing... There was no information about the start of the landing. When they said that the last passengers were waiting, about 20 people rushed from all sides. Everyone sat down, counted, 3 are missing. We tried to remove their luggage, but they were found. But the departure time was missed. As a result, 1.5 hours of waiting for permission. Summer, heat, crying children... I would like to note the competent actions of the crew of our flight 63598 a/k Ural Airlines on 06/29/2019. Special thanks to them.
A comfortable waiting room, a large selection in Duty Free, however, the snack menu at the food court seemed to me very modest. Informative navigation, even for passengers who do not speak English. Friendly staff. Quick passage of passport control and customs inspection.
We were in the VIP lounge, the service was excellent, prada did not have food, only coffee, well, at least there would be soft sofas and pillows, you could sleep, but as you leave the VIP, everyone is angry, rude at passport control, our flight was delayed for 5 hours and we went to the VIP lounge to wait They got out of it two hours before departure, and at passport control they did not want to let us through because we came to control later than everyone else and disturbed their sleep, they really did not like the attitude.
A beautiful and spacious airport. Clear navigation. Russian-speaking and friendly staff. The inspection and registration took place without delay. At my request, the seat on the plane was at the window. There is a cafe where you can have a snack and drink coffee, a small shop where you can spend the remaining dinars, since the export of dinars from Tunisia is prohibited.

Very good airport, big, clean. The staff are kind, they will always help. I advise everyone!!!
It's not a big airport, it's not clear why it was built in this place. A couple of duty free, a cafe with prices like in Sheremetyevo and no choice. Quite modern. There is free wifi, but it is constantly overloaded. The airport is used mainly for tourists and their charters.
The airport looks decent from the outside, but inside everything is very simple and there is an extremely small selection of shops and food outlets. After passport control, in the Duty free zone, surprisingly there are shops with prices in dinars that cannot be brought into this territory, and do not issue any checks.
We flew to Tunisia for the first time as a family on 06/27/2019. And the mood at Enfida airport was immediately spoiled. There are 4 passport control windows for two huge planes with children - this is very small, huge queues..the luggage was received for more than an hour.. On departure, the situation did not change much - a huge queue was already at the entrance to the airport, there was one entrance, later a second one was opened to avoid collapse, apparently. And it seems that we managed to get in line for registration as the third, but we got to the intern, apparently - the people in the neighboring windows had already run out, and she was still registering the family in front of us (.
The airport is small and Dute free is the same. The set is standard, you will not be able to find something rare. Therefore, if you need a squeeze from a fly of tse-tse, then you will not find it here. There is a souvenir shop, but it is located before customs, then there is nothing like that. Although I was flying out early and everything could still be closed.
From the pleasant: everything is quite fast, with a crowd of people, an additional counter has been opened, you can weigh your luggage on empty racks for free. There is also a cafe, you can pay with a card.
A standard airport.
Convenient, fast and high-quality service, plenty of seats for passengers, friendly staff, announcements on the radio in Russian. A good choice in duty free. Thanks
I liked the airport. Olga has a choice in duty free, several cafes for a snack, calmly. Just keep it clean more. Leftovers of food were scattered on the seats (there are a lot of children, so check the halls more often)
The departure waiting area is clean.there is practically nothing to eat.all for dollars and that's not really enough.dinars can be transported safely both in luggage and hand luggage
Cleanly, a large artificial pond is generally at the level
A small convenient airport.
There are few people. Flights too. Maybe it was the fact that I was there out of season, in early November 2019. As I understand it, the airport works mainly to receive tourists to Sousse, Hammamet, Kantaoui.
There are a couple of cafes. Duty free. The exchanger is to hand over the remaining dinars.
In general, nothing interesting, but everything you need is available.
A small airport...everything is clean, no smoking, prices, as in all airports, are crazy...decent passport control and registration...baggage check is attentive and non-harassment...A good airport!
I didn't like the way the check-in was going. The girls who work there speak only their own language. I'm not talking about the fact that they don't understand Russian... But they don't know English either. Although it is a compulsory language in Tunisian schools! It seems that they simply do not want to understand Russian tourists in any language.
I won't say that everyone there is like that, but we came across one. She was pregnant, maybe it's all hormones 🤔
I would like to advise the airport management to draw the attention of their employees that Russian tourists are not all bad. As in all countries, there are good people and bad people. There is no need to treat Russian people with prejudice just because they were lucky enough to be born in Russia.
An excellent airport, not big, not many people, there are good dutty fries, but the Fast food zone spoils everything, it seems to be big, but the ticket office alone serves everything, so a queue is going!!!
Very arrogant workers at the security check before boarding the plane!!! They just brazenly tried to take away two bottles of Guerllain foundation from me. I begged for 15 minutes not to take it! They laughed brazenly...... and still took the perfume 30 ml Coco Chanel! Although according to international rules, vials up to 30 ml can be transported!!! It's the first time I've met with such arrogance and humiliation!!! Apparently, people live so poorly in Tunisia that it's not a shame to take used cosmetics! And the girl at the inspection first read the company of foundation, then squeezed the tone out of each bottle on her hand. Then I decided to take a darker one, but I strongly asked to leave it.... and she "took pity" ....... took only perfume, and two customs officers nearby.... They laughed!!!!! SHAME, SHAME, SHAME!!!!!

IT'S AN OUTRAGE!!!We took off from this airport on September 14, 2019. My daughter has a broken leg, we SPECIALLY EXPLAINED on our baby stroller at the registration THAT WE NEED HELP AND OF COURSE NORMAL PLACES, closer to the toilet, so as not to carry her far in our arms!My daughter is 7 years old, she weighs 20kg, it's very hard to wear her ...
The guy at the check-in put our friends in normal seats, and ME WITH a CHILD WITH A BROKEN LEG AT THE VERY END OF the PLANE IN THE TAIL!!!!!I'M JUST AMAZED AT WHAT AN OUTRAGE THIS IS!!!!HOW COULD THIS BE DONE AT ALL!!!!IT IS INCOMPREHENSIBLE TO THE MIND!!!!It's a complete disgrace!!!!NO HUMAN ATTITUDE!!
Nice, new, big and... EMPTY! Before the "date" revolution, Tunisia was planned as the largest air hub in north Africa, but "something went wrong." There are only a dozen flights during rush hour, the main ones are charters to Russia. There are flights to the UK, but also some tourists. Two dukes on departure and - ATTENTION - one on arrival. Luggage is served slowly and sadly, but maybe I was so lucky... There is one flood court inside.
On the plus side, the exit and entrance to the planes are always on the sleeves. Of the cons, the free Internet was turned off. The airport is not designed for a large flow of passengers. They took off by 777-300er aircraft. We were brought by 12 buses. And all lined up near the same entrance doors. Then the whole stream stood at the check-in counters. And then we were checked by only 4 border guards. The local Arabs were tested with a special predilection for 10 minutes each. As a result, we waited in line for 40 minutes only on the passport.
Enfida Airport was generally liked, clean, few people (our flight was the only one), well-organized staff work, but the big minus is the lack of Internet.
An average-sized airport. Comfortable and without any delays at passport control, everything is on the level.
4 stars for wanting to exchange the local currency (Tunisian dinar) for a dollar, they only exchanged it for euros, for some reason there were no dollars

Not a big cozy one. There is a duty free, though not a big one, but you can buy something for yourself, there is even a promotion.
The cafe is also not a big local one, but you can eat. There is also Wi-Fi in the cafe and next to it, so you can also surf the Internet who likes.

A large beautiful airport, courteous staff , there are scales for weighing luggage, and an exchange office where the staff speaks Russian.
It's quite clean, there aren't many people. There are few shops after passport control, but that's right, that's not what the airport is for. Upon arrival, the luggage was waiting for 1.5! hour's.... What is the reason for this, it is not very clear whether it is the work of the system itself or the sluggishness of the staff.. But this is the first time. In general, everything is adequate.
Bright waiting room, comfortable seats. There is no Internet, but this is not a problem - "wear your own"). Burger at the cafe is $5. But the toilet let me down. Of the detergents, only water). I couldn't dry my hands and there were no napkins. The mother and child room is a nightmare! Dirt, cans, cigarette butts!
Everything is clear and accessible. A large terminal. Comfortable exits directly into the cabin of the aircraft. There are Russian-speaking consultants in duty free.

I liked the airport very much, it has a beautiful design, it is built competently, there is no need to look for anything, everything can be found without much difficulty.
Everything is conveniently located, the hall is large, there are many places, but they did not announce the start of boarding, just look at the scoreboard lit up and people lined up.
Quite a good airport by the way! I read not very good reviews about him and that like dutifrey is small, etc. - a lie! A normal, quite decent and quite modern airport, comfortable
Airport staff are vigilant, you can not carry walkie-talkies, binoculars, quadrocopters, telephoto lenses and all that sort of thing. They are taken for safekeeping, returned upon departure.
Great dutik, lots of space. Of the disadvantages, many restaurants are often closed, you can drink coffee only in one, where there is a constant queue.
