Hiya guys
I have just booked 11 nights in Monastir. My boyfriend is English and I am Portuguese. I have read some reviews that unmarried couples are not allowed to share hotel rooms. Is this likely to be the case for us? Any imformation will be very usefull as I am getting abit worried

Tell them your married. Get a pair of fake cheap gold rings if your really worried. Tell them you kept your Maiden name when you got married.

if you are that worried ring the tour operator or hotel and ask them direct.

I went last year, unmarried with my polish girlfriend and no issues at all.

My partner and I have been twice before, and have just booked for this year too, have always shared a room and no one has ever said anything. I'm booked in as a Miss and him as a Mr so it's very clear we are unmarried.

I think with countries like that you are not able to share a room if you are from that country and you are not married. I know someone who has now married an Egyptian guy, who was brought up in the UK for most of his life, but they could not stay in a hotel room together in Egypt whne visiting his relatives until they were married. As you are only tourists the same rules don't usually apply

Put it this way. If you are lazing on the beach and see 2 deep holes being dug in the sand and someone collecting rocks, don't hang about.

I've been to Tunisia before I was married 2 different surnames, we shared a room without even considering it could be a problem. There were plenty of other couples like us there don't even worry about it. You are tourists they want your cash!

Actually i find British tourists to be the worst of all. When i am abroad i often cringe when i hear an English accent.
