If you’re vacationing with family, make sure you take them sailing on a pirate ship across the Gulf of Hammamet, with views of Port El Kantoui and Monastir.

Essential Information: When you go and what you'll need
Getting Around
Taxis are readily available in Sousse, but make sure you agree a price before you get in to avoid disappointments later. Louages act like shared taxis, and can end up costing a fraction of the price of a normal taxi ride. Tuk-tuks and the road train are great fun if you want to travel to nearby Port El Kantaoui. Car hire is a great option if you want to explore the surrounding area, or why not choose to go at a slower pace and soak up the scenery in a horse-drawn carriage?
Blissful Boujaffar Beach
Sousse has a handful of blissful beaches with vast expanses of sand and inviting crystal-clear waters. But the most famous is perhaps Boujaffar Beach, a long stretch dotted with chic restaurants, cafes and hotels. Parts of the beach are off limits to locals so visitors can relax on a sunlounger and get a tan. You can also indulge in watersports, with equipment easily available on hire.
Tick off the Sights
There is a labyrinth of historical and cultural monuments worth ticking off when staying in Sousse. The Great Mosque and the Sousse Ribat are iconic landmarks, while the views that await you at the top of the hill where the Kasbah sits are snapshot-worthy. Centered within fortress walls is the bustling medina, it makes a great day out for the family and allows you to immerse yourself in true Tunisian culture, too!
Spot Flamingos In Friguia Park
Friguia Park sits between Sousse and Port El Kantaoui and is full of creatures from the animal kingdom. From lions and flamingos to cheetahs and sealions, the park aims to protect endangered species and provides a wonderful place for them to live. Kids can ride on camels and donkeys, and you can also swim with dolphins!
Experience the Sunday Market
The souks in Sousse operate every day, but the Sunday market is an experience in itself. This is when the locals venture out to grab a bargain and in amongst the ceramics, carpets and leathers, you’ll even see them bartering for camels! You may not be visiting the market to haggle for two humps, but you can still pick up some great deals on local delicacies!
