Tour Plan

Hammamet
Hectic resort in summer, well known for its beaches and its party atmosphere, Hammamet is also a small city with an authentic charm. Turquoise waters, the scent of jasmine, white houses and stone walls gilded by the centuries… its medina fringed by fine sand is particularly poetic. Nearby, the new resort town of Yasmine Hammamet offers a more contemporary setting, while the forests and lemon groves are a real pleasure for nature lovers. Admirate Its Fort, which occupies the corner of the outer wall, was enlarged in the 16th century by the Turks during their war with the Spanish over the control of Tunisia. Walk through the old Medina and climb it Ribat and enjoy the breathtaking view of the mediterranean sea. Discover Yasmine hammamet and take a coffee, have a drink or lunch in its Marina

Monastir
Proceed to Monastir, Explore the beautiful walk along the seafront: the marina, the esplanade of the Ribat, the cemetery dominated by the narrow minarets and the mausoleum of Bourguiba. Climb the 90 steep steps to the watchtower of the Ribat for a panoramic view of the city and surrounding beaches to take your breath away. Admire the old golden stones of its towers, its battlements and of the neighbouring mosque. Then delve into the cobbled streets of the medina. Comb through the souks where the stalls are full of perfumed spices and beautiful crafts: leather bags, blankets, woven baskets… Pay a visit to the lively quays and the fishing harbour

Sousse
Explore Sousse, long beaches, old stones, high palm trees… Sousse is a city ripe with seductions where entertainment and exoticism coexist harmoniously. As a major modern city, it’s one of Tunisia’s most lively coastal resorts. As a historic city, it has conserved a magnificent medina and exceptional monuments from the Middle Ages. Just a few minutes away, a tourist town with Andalusian charm has been built especially for holiday-goers, around a marina: the integrated resort of Port El Kantaoui that you will also visit Back to your place of residence

Exploring Hammamet in Tunisia was a fantastic way to immerse ourselves in the region’s vibrant culture and rich heritage. The coastal views between Monastir and Sousse were truly stunning, and the comfortable transportation made getting around a breeze. However, we did feel that our time at some of the historical sites was a bit limited, but the experience overall was well worth it!

We loved wandering through the vibrant markets and admiring the stunning coastal views during our day exploring the rich heritage and culture of the region. One highlight was visiting the ancient medina, where we stumbled upon a charming local café serving the best mint tea we’ve ever had. The only small drawback was the slight rush at some sites, as we wished we could linger a bit longer to soak in the atmosphere more deeply.
