Sousse

To the west of Tunisia lies Sousse, an ancient Punic city bathed by the waters of the Mediterranean Sea and the Gulf of Hammamet. Its walled medina, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, offers a network of narrow streets and passageways of exceptional beauty just a few meters from turquoise beaches. Unique places to discover from a hotel in Tunis.

Touring the peaceful city and wandering through its souks evokes the feeling of stepping back centuries in time while enjoying the traditional Arab architecture. Of the eight gates that gave access to the fortress, it is still possible to visit the gate of Kairouan and the gate Bab el Gharbi. The great mosque of Sousse, majestic and solemn and its Kasbah are other points of interest of the pearl of the Sahel. A walk through the medina cannot end without a visit to the archaeological museum where the collection of mosaics and sculptures is of great beauty.
