| The town of Sousse, was previously known as Hadrumete and was built by the Phoenicians in the 9th Century BC. A town which was Punic, Roman and then Muslim, Sousse has retained a great deal of character. Sousse is surrounded by very find crenellated ramparts, dominated on one side by the imposing Kasbah and on the other by the mosque and elegant Ribat. The medina houses souks which are the most typical in Tunisia. Many high-class hotels stand along the beautiful fine sand beach which stretches for several kilometers. Nearby is El Kantaoui, one of the Mediterranean's main garden ports, with the seductive charm of its houses built in the purest tradition of Moorish architecture. |
Built as a trading post for the Phoenicians and then by the Romans, under the name of Ruspina, Monastir became important once again in the 8th Century, with the building of its fortified Ribat, a sort of imposing monastery intended as a defense against the sea faring invaders. Monastir is also a captivating seaside resort with natural charm and wide palm tree lined avenues. It is a land of white sand beaches and turquoise water. |
| Legendary home of the "lotus eaters" and Ulysses himself, the sun-drenched island of Djerba has mile upon mile of unspoiled beaches lightened by the clear blue waters of the southern Mediterranean. As Djerba is virtually flat with little traffic, a bicycle is a great way to explore, or for the less energetic, a motorbike. Local buses and taxis are cheap and readily available too. Djerba is linked to the mainland by a causeway or ferries which run half-hourly. |
| The beautiful Ghriba Synagogue - one of the holiest Jewish buildings in North Africa is located in Djerba and hosts annual pilgrimage of Jews from all over the world. |

The Cap Bon region is known as the “garden of Tunisia”. The jasmine and orange blossom scented air has an enviable sweetness. Cap Bon has a maritime climate (mild throughout the year), varied landscapes and an easily accessible coast, a combination of features which made this a popular holiday region amongst the Punic and Roman aristocrats. Jutting out between the Gulf of Tunis and the Gulf of Hammamet, Cap Bon encompasses important wine-growing areas and produces fine figs, olives, oranges, lemons and cereals. |
| Hammamet, the Garden Resort, where no hotel may be built higher than the tallest of the adjacent trees, is situated on the southern corner of fertile Cap Bon. It has dozens of hotels, shops and restaurants set along miles of golden beach and surrounded by fragrant bougainvillea flowers. Hammamet is surrounded by lush orchards of orange, lemon and mandarin trees, its luxury hotels stand just above the water's edge, not far from the tiny medina which shelters the souk and the kasbah which was rebuilt during the 16th century. To the south Yasmine Hammamet aims to recreate the style and atmosphere of the French Riveria with wide boulevards and sophisticated pavement cafes. To the north, Nabeul is home to Tunisia's thriving pottery industry. |
