Tour Plan

The Korbous’ hot springs that flow into the Mediterranean
If you’re the kind of traveler who likes to get off the beaten path to find hidden gems that are popular with locals but remain largely unknown to tourists, you should definitely make the hot springs of Korbous part of your Tunisia itinerary. Not far off the main highway that heads out of Tunis, but far enough to be off the beaten path, the Korbous’ hot springs that flow into the Mediterranean are a popular spot with Tunisians from the capital and the surrounding region.When you arrive to Korbous, the beauty of the blue Mediterranean captivates you. The coast here is rocky, which means the water is crystal clear no matter what kind of weather. Besides the clear blue water, the view is also amazing. Here you get a panoramic view of Tunis, Carthage, and Sidi Bou Said just across the Gulf of Tunis about 20 kilometers away. The hills surrounding Tunis and its suburbs create the perfect backdrop to the entire scene.The cliffs around Korbous have many hot springs, but the best place to experience the view and the hot springs are at Ain Atrous, about 1.5 kilometers north of the small town of Korbous.12:00 lunch you can order freshly caught sea bream, sea bass, shrimp, and other seasonal fish (they also have non-seafood options).After lunch, head over to the small pools built to catch the water from the hot springs that flow out of the mountain. The hot water flows into the sea here, and bathing in it is said to have many health benefits because of the water’s natural minerals. It’s a delight to swim here in the naturally warmed sea water, especially when the Mediterranean isn’t quite warm enough to swim in otherwise.

The thermal experience at Korbous was a delightful way to unwind, with the warm waters providing a soothing escape from the day’s heat. While the transport to Hammamet could have been more comfortable, the stunning views along the drive made up for it.

Our day at the hot springs was truly rejuvenating, with the thermal waters feeling like a warm embrace after a scenic drive from Hammamet. We particularly loved soaking in the mineral-rich pools while soaking in the stunning views of the coastline; it was a perfect blend of relaxation and nature. One memorable moment was when we found a quieter spot surrounded by lush greenery, allowing us to connect and unwind away from the busier areas. However, the transportation was a bit cramped, and we would have appreciated a little more legroom. Overall, this experience left us feeling refreshed and eager to explore more of Tunisia!
