Country-wide 10
Plates black w/ white text (military plates: small Tunisian flag left - visible on the dark-green follow car)
Black plates in an Arabic-French country = Tunisia (UAE/Jordan plates are white).
Jordan: Black → Tunisia; white → Jordan.
United Arab Emirates: Black → Tunisia; white → UAE.
A follow car escorts the Google car in most coverage (several types; may be ahead or FAR behind - pan around!); the Google car itself is black w/ a medium thin antenna
Climates: Mediterranean → dry → semi-desert; olive plantations in neat rows on raked weedless soil along many roads
Road lines usually white (outer dashed or solid; a few Sfax roads have yellow middles)
French + Arabic, often bilingual signs
United Arab Emirates: French → Tunisia; English → UAE.
Jordan: French → Tunisia.
Direction signs: white background, towns in Arabic + Latin w/ a distinctive Latin font ('Tunis' listed everywhere - doesn't mean you're close!)
Traditional 'Tunisian blue' doors, windows & gates - everywhere, most of all on Djerba
The specific blue shade on whitewashed walls is a Tunisia signature.
Red-white striped kerbs common
Israel West Bank: French + follow car → Tunisia; Hebrew → Israel.
White concrete km markers w/ rounded red/yellow/green top - sides show distances to towns, road-facing side the road number → great for pinpointing
Fairly unique stop sign w/ Arabic + Latin text
Jordan: Follow car + black plates → Tunisia.
United Arab Emirates: French → Tunisia.
Israel West Bank: Hand → never Tunisia.
Regional 3
Coverage mostly the east coast Bizerte→Medenine, main roads + big towns (Djerba has dense side streets)
Follow car = region: light-green Toyota → far north (never south of Hammamet); dark-green Mazda (military plate w/ red strip) → Hammamet→Djerba (most common); Tunis = many different ones; Kairouan = white Mitsubishi w/ white mirrors; Djerba = usually NO follow car (rare white Mercedes/dark-green)
Landscape north→south: north of Tunis = Mediterranean hills, fallow fields; Tunis↔Hammamet = higher greener hills; Hammamet↔Gabès = flat & arid w/ olives (drier southward); south of Gabès = semi-desert w/ rubbish + small white rocks + a range far SW; Djerba = palms + whitewashed traditional buildings w/ blue doors
Specific spots 1
Spotlights: Bizerte Lake = teal water + slight hills south; mass of palms in one place → Gabès; sandy hills → P1 NW of Medenine (south is otherwise flat); P12 off-road SW of Sousse = dark pavement + bright sand, prickly pears east; Djerba-Zarzis causeway = water both sides + pipeline west; trekkers all over (forts, mosques, a Star Wars set)
