About this excursion

The Tunisian Sahel, an hour south of Hammamet, is home to some of the country's most beautiful coastal towns. The day begins in Port El Kantaoui, a marina of white houses where you can enjoy a coffee overlooking the sailing boats.

The medina of Sousse, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is one of the best preserved in the Maghreb. Its 9th-century ramparts enclose the ribat, a former religious fort, the Great Mosque and lively souks, perfect for souvenir shopping. In Monastir, the Ribat of Harthema, which has served as a set for several films, faces the sea, a short walk from the Mausoleum of Habib Bourguiba.

Short and with no long drives, this private excursion suits families and travellers who prefer to keep their afternoon free.
