Living in Midoun (Djerba)
Tunisia · desert
Midoun (Djerba) is a small city of roughly 60,000 people on an island in Tunisia. The climate is desert. It keeps a balanced mix of locals and visitors and is considered very safe. A typical month of living costs around $850. Healthcare is reasonable, and the internet is generally reliable. People come here for swimming, quiet days, hunting.
È un’isola collegata tutto l’anno, spesso più volte al giorno, e questo cambia molto per chi ci vive tutto l’anno. La sanità privata (4/5) è nettamente migliore di quella pubblica (1/5): metti in conto un’assicurazione. È uno dei posti dove vivere fuori rete è davvero praticabile, sia per legge sia per spazio. Starlink e l’internet satellitare non sono utilizzabili in questo paese.
