With sandy beaches backed by orchards and olive groves, Sousse is a cultural hotspot packaged in Arabian vibes. Here you’ll find historic sites, lively festivals and pulsating nightclubs keeping you entertained from dawn until late at night.

Things to do

If you’re looking to dive into city culture head-first, begin your journey at the Medina of Sousse. This World Heritage-listed site is a vast marketplace offering unlimited photography opportunities throughout a maze of open and covered bazaars contained within the structural walls. Haggle with vendors to get great deals on souvenirs or sit back, relax and enjoy the hustle and bustle.

The Sousse Archaeological Museum is a real treat for art fans, featuring one of the largest collections of Roman mosaics in the world. Spend a couple of hours strolling through the galleries or take a guided tour to check out the unique baptismal pool.

Beautiful architecture and deep religious history make the Grand Mosque one of the most popular attractions in Sousse. You can meander through elegant stone archways, admire the exquisitely designed tiles and experience the wide outdoor praying area.

When you’re worn down from the beating sun, cool off at the Aqua Splash Thalassa Sousse. This massive water park features multiple slides, several pools and a lazy river that wraps around the entire complex. It’s the perfect escape from the warm climate, ideal for adults and children alike.

Getting around

Sousse is well connected by Tunisian railway networks, making for easy access to and from surrounding cities. Buses and taxis are the best way of getting around the area. For a bit of excitement, take a tuk-tuk to Port El Kantaoui and see the sights like a local.
