Lovely medina with impressive Ribat & Mosque
Con
Newer part of town can be dirty and uninteresting
In a nutshell
well worth considering tunisia is a lovely country and the people are friendly
kris-t Says: You will see the salt lake (made famous in the film 'The English Patient') and move onto the Canyons of Sidi Bou Hlel before you will reach Tozeur, the 'Eden' in the desert, where you will visit the oasis of Tozeur .
kris-t Says: You will go up the altas mountains, into the salt flats, the troglodites villages, starwars village...the list goes on!You will enjoy cascade of colour contrasts in the arid landscape with the intense green of its palm trees. Also you will visit the canyon of Mides then the...
kris-t Says: Sahara Explorer is a two day 750 mile tourist adventure to the edge of the desert, which includes visits to El Djem, Berber caves, salt lakes and a sunset camel ride in the Sahara. An unforgettable trip to the beautiful South of Tunisia! That's a really great trip - you will...
kris-t Says: Though history Sousse has come under the rule of 5 major cultures. Each of those cultures gave a new or modified name to the town. Each of those names may appear in various forms.Enjoy downtown with old Medina, surrounded by its city walls and fortifications, and modern...
kris-t Says: Visit The Mosque of Uqba also known as the Great Mosque of Kairouan.Built from 670 AD (the year 50 according to the Islamic calendar) at the founding of the city of Kairouan, this mosque is spread over a surface area of 9,000 square metres.The Mosque of Uqba is one of the...
kris-t Says: The oldest part of town.A medina quarter is a distinct city section found in many North African cities. The medina is typically walled, contains many narrow and maze-like streets, and was built by Arabs as far back as the 9th century CE.
kris-t Says: Roman Amphitheatre in El Jem (or El Djem), approx 70km due south of Sousse which is better preserved than that at Rome. It was the location for some of the filming in Gladiator.The colosseum was constructed between 230 and 238 CE by the command of the Imperial official...
alyf1961 Says: The Catacombs contain 240 galleries with 15,000 graves spread over 5km. Only 40 metres of the tombs can be visited by the public. They were used between the 2nd and 4th centuries AD.Three of the four tombs have been excavated with inscriptions and funeral furnishings being...
alyf1961 Says: The Mosque is built using large stone blocks, some of these blocks were taken from the Roman baths at Carthage which is one of the reasons the baths are not better preserved. It has towers on the north-east and south-east corners and was built to resemble a fortress. It was...

KAISER HOTEL: Good food in a friendly atmosphere
BarryBraund Says: The Kaiser Hotel has mixed reviews, as does Sousse itself, so in the end it's down to you to judge for yourself. It was convenient to eat here, and in a party of four people, the food was always freshly prepared and cooked well. We ate her 4 or 5 times. The menu isn't...
Art Food: Great fish, comfortable place
BarryBraund Says: The Art Restaurant had a relaxed atmosphere, comfortable with quality food. The fish was superb (not sure what it was!), but very tasty at 12TD (around £6), served with perfectly cooked rice. Mainly locals eating there during lunchtime. Beers 2TD, coffee 1.5TD. Clean...
Bora Bora: Having a ball at Bora Bora
Kiriel Says: Bora Bora is a quite extraordinary place. An outdoor nightclub, tucked in among trees, this club hires some of the most famous DJs in the world, which was a bit of a surprise to me... not something I expected from a town of less than 200,000 people. The club is centred...
Tej Marhaba Hotel: Traditional entertainment
BarryBraund Says: The Tej Marhaba Hotel offers a varied programme, and on at least one night each week, they offer entertainment, traditional style, geared to the western tourists. Muisc, dancing, making a fool of the tourist who is willingly dragged onto the stage as an amateur belly...
alyf1961 Says: The noddy train runs from Port El Kantaqui. To find the station is quite easy. From the marina walk towards the main square, walk down the right hand side of the fountain and go between a restaurant and a gift shop. The station is at the other side of the car park. During...
Darkswede Says: In addition to buses you can always take a Louage.white taxi cars that go between two places or city´s from special louage stations and are shared with others, there are no time tables, the car leavs when it is full or if you pay for the empty seats. Warning, many louage...
kris-t Says: There are some rug stores here with a wide variety of handmade rugs.Rugs are available in myriad densities, typically ranging from up to 30 knots per inch (very coarse) to 290 knots per inch (very fine). Finely knotted or finely woven rugs are usually the most desirable. Are...
BarryBraund Says: If you feel like bartering with the Tunisians, tell them you have BROUGHT a bottle of quality whisky with you, you may bag yourself a bargain. All branded Scotch whisky is a crazy price. I think Chivas Regal in a supermarket was £170 a bottle.
BarryBraund Says: I apologise for repeating what has been said. It is a fact that, if you stand around looking lost, someone looking very credible will come up to you and offer to show you the way to the area or shop that you are trying to find. After following your new found friend for 10 or...
Getting around buy train and bus
Darkswede Says: Feel like doing a trip around Tunisia on your own? Well why not take the train to Julius Cesars Amfi theater in El Jem, or take the train or louage to the capital Tunis and visit its huge Medina, or the worlds biggest mosaic collection at the Bardo Museum or Concore Carthage...
leics Says: Not much information about this, I'm afraid.The Sofra cistern is in the middle of the medina, surrounded by blank walls. It dates back to at least the 11th century, and was apparently created by building around an existing Byzantine church. The entrance is in the...
