Sousse Mini Guide

Why do Tourists Choose Sousse?
The main attraction of the city is the beautiful Bay of Hammamet which has fine white sand and turquoise waters. The bay is divided into a number of beaches, some busy with plenty of activities and quiet ones where you can simply stretch out in solitude with a good book. The city has many old and atmospheric parts, great for a stroll in the early morning before the sun has become too fierce or for a romantic walk when the setting sun turns the buildings a glorious copper hue.



How do I get to Sousse?
There are two airports which serve Sousse; Enfida and Monastir. Enfida is the newest but not all the infrastructure is in place meaning an expensive or arduous journey into the resort from the airport. Whilst Monastir is older, it’s only 20 minutes away and has a train called the Metro that takes you directly into Sousse. There are dozens of flights to Monastir from the UK, many with budget carriers so getting there is cheap and convenient.



What is There to See and Do in Sousse?
The main draw is going to be the beach but if you can drag yourself away from it for a while there’s plenty of interest in the city. Take a contemplative stroll around the austere mosque, one of the oldest buildings in Sousse. Follow it up with a contrasting visit to the Mosaic Museum where you’ll see amazing examples of Islamic art, then perhaps spend an hour or so in the Traditional Tunisian House Museum just inside the city walls followed by a cool and dark trip through the city’s catacombs.
