Guide to Sousse

"With balmy days on blissful sands, shopping in exotic bazaars and a wealth of historic treasures to pour over, Sousse seduces in every way."

The strategically sited old port of Sousse, 130km south of Tunis, has seen a modern resort grow around its historic heart: the walled medina, an 8th-century fortified monastery, and the 9th-century Great Mosque. Sousse is a bustling, colourful town with a strong Muslim tradition, which means you'll find just a few bars - but plenty of cafes, shops and stalls!
