Any advice on what to shoot in Tunisia?
WOW, lots to photograph, but it depends where abouts your are and what access to transport you will have. I guess it also depends on what you like to photograph. Anyway these links might help.

Here is a link to our Land Rover expedition through Tunisia in 2010. I can't show any photos here as they were taken with an Olympus but they are on the site.
Tunisia trip
El Jem Roman amphitheatre is definitely worth a visit and offers plenty of photo opportunities. The Great Mosque and Medina in Kairouan is also a great place to visit. with giant salt flats, the Sahara desert and mountains there is plenty of landscapes to see. If you're interested in WWII history there is also Rommels Bunker and the Mareth Line Museum. Both worth a visit.
There are loads of places in Tunisia which were used as film locations for Gladiator, Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Life of Brian and loads more.
A trip out into the desert by 4X4 or camel can be a great experience.
We loved our time there. Whatever you do, don't stay in the resort all the time or you will miss so much

Where are you staying? Many of the main tourist hotels run day trips into the desert. Some even do overnight stops in Berber tents.

There a probably others but this seems to tick most of the boxes. I just searched for "desert trips from port el kantaoui"
I hope that helps.
For what it's worth, Port El Kantaoui is okay, if you like that sort of thing, but is very touristy and not very representative of the country. We stayed there for 2 nights at the end of our trip.

It's our 25th anniversary this year, so we are off to Tunisia in two weeks I am really asking what is there, that is must see? Thanks.
Camels?
I have never been there in Tunisia but when I travel or go to new places, my usual shot themes are people and nature.
