Port El Kantaoui is a perfect place to chill and relax. I The iconic “I Love Sousse” sign is at the entrance of the Port. Across from this cute photo op is a money exchange and a souvenir shop. I noticed how clean and chill the place was—though don’t be surprised if vendors call out to you, urging you to buy trinkets, hop on a boat, or pose with an eagle. This place is basically heaven for cat lovers. Lots of shops , restaurants and cafes.

Constructed in 1979 as a holiday resort, Port El Kantaoui is a charming destination on the central Tunisian coast, offering shops, beaches, golf courses, and waterfront restaurants. The marina is the heart of activity, where Mediterranean jetsetters dock their yachts. Its cobblestone streets and Moorish-Andalusian architecture provide a North African vibe in a tourist-friendly setting. However, it was frustrating to be constantly approached by salesmen trying to sell items. While the handcrafted bowls were beautiful, the fake designer products were of poor quality. For a more authentic glimpse of Tunisia, the vibrant port city of Sousse is just a 10-minute taxi ride away.

We visited Port El Kantaoui and took a half-hour trip on a ship. The experience was beautiful and enjoyable, especially for children or anyone boarding a ship for the first time. At first, they mentioned there would be fish to see, but when we reached the middle of the sea, they told us there were no fish that day. The boat was clean, well-maintained, and the atmosphere was relaxing with nice sea views. Overall, I would rate this experience 4 out of 5 and recommend it for families looking for a short and pleasant sea trip.

A really nice port, must visit when come to Sousse

this my favorite place to be its very chilled and clean and full of nature, you might get annoyed by people calling you to buy from their shops, have a drink. take a a boat trip or take a photo with the eagle but they are friendly and just trying to offer you what they have, and its worth visiting and relaxing, there is also an attraction park near by and it's cool for kids and adults. ill try to bring more photos.

Beautiful place that I would recomend to anyone who enjoy active holiday. Beaches are not excellent but decent, food is different than what we in Europe are used to, but adventure...going to Tunisia means that what ever you do you have to go trips to Sahara and visit sets where Indiana Jones was recorded. Really drive through dines is exceptional. Must seen.

Port of kantaoui Wonderful & peaceful at this moment of the year. But there's nothing special to do except in the summer time

Hannibal Park is conveniently located within a short walking distance from the marina, making it easily accessible. For what it is—a tourist-focused park—it’s decent. The prices are very reasonable, and the food options are okay. However, some rides are quite outdated, and the process of buying tickets was a bit confusing. It seems to be a popular spot for local youth, which was nice to see, but groups often gathered near the rides. Unfortunately, there was a noticeable bad smell of rotting food from the back areas, and the presence of many stray cats in poor condition was upsetting. Overall, it’s okay for a casual visit but could use some updates and improvements.

Not a must-do, but an okay night out if you’ve got time to fill I visited Hannibal Park during a week in Tunisia. Personally, I wouldn’t say it’s a must-do, especially if you’re only visiting for a short time. It can be fun — especially if you have kids — but overall, it wasn’t the best experience for me. The rides themselves were honestly terrifying, and not in the fun way. I found myself more scared that something would go wrong rather than enjoying the thrill — like safety bars coming loose or the rides failing. On every ride I went on, I genuinely thought I might lose my life, which obviously isn’t the kind of adrenaline rush you want from a theme park! Another thing to mention — as a white, blonde female, I felt really uncomfortable with the amount of unwanted attention. We were followed around the park and even recorded by people while on rides, which made the whole experience feel unsafe. We went after dark, thinking it would be a normal family-friendly evening out, but it was mostly groups of men hanging around and very few families. I later realised that you don’t actually have to pay to enter the park, only for the rides, so a lot of people were just walking around without actually going on anything. On the positive side, the VR area was pretty good (probably the safest part since you’re on solid ground!), and the ladies at the ticket booth were lovely and very helpful — even with the language barrier. Overall, I’d say it was an okay night out if you happen to be nearby and want to do something different, but definitely not a must-visit attraction in Tunisia

DO NOT GO TO THIS PARK! I wish I had read the reviews before. We attended this park on 31/10/25. The first issue was the ride attendant of the roller coaster not listening and charging my son's card twice just because he saw him with his cousin, and assumed as 2 black people were together that my son was paying for her. Then the worst part of our experience at the park which resulted in us leaving was a group of teen boys who we later found our were Algerians according to the staff who apparently could tell that they were not Tunisian, approached my niece and put his phone up her skirt to record (upskirting). I shouted at him and said what are you doing he started to run off and then my son began chasing him but he apparently got out from another exit??? We immediately reported to the security Who took us to the management office where I viewed CCTV of the boy but they could not apparently find any CCTV of the incident just my son running after him. One of the managers said 'Oh, it's just a boy,' to which I replied it's a sexual assault. He asked if we wanted to call the police I asked how long they would take to come but due to the lack of effort from staff and the fact my niece was so upset and wanted to leave we felt like we would be fighting a losing battle and asked for our money back and left the park. Since returning home and now looking at the reviews on this page there is clearly an issue with people feeling unsafe at this park and management and staff do not care and are more interested in collecting money. It is only a matter of time before something more serious happens to someone here and I strongly urge that unless these issues are dealt with then nobody especially with young children should be visiting this establishment.

If you’re from Europe I suggest to you definitely try it. You can enjoy a little unsafe-looking rides that you cannot find in the other place. I tried Evolution ride and if you want to feel nauseous definitely worth it 😂😂😂

Fabulous little funfair not expensive for a family evening out

We all had a wonderful time, I recommend it ❤️

Clean and friendly staff just a little bit crowdy at night, free entry and ticket prices range around 10 to 14 TND

A park that gives a glimpse into the traditional life of Tunisian people, from different daily activities to the animals they kept to the way they wed. There's a traditional dinner included in the program with entertainment and dances from different regions of Tunisia. The night ends with presumably the biggest light-and-sound laser show and theatre in Tunisia which present the history of the country. The laser show was in English, French and German, but took way took long in my opinion, although there were some interesting parts. The park is not wheelchair accessible. There are toilets in several parts of the building. Be warned: The display of traditional wedding may not be for everyone, as there are parts with disrespectful animal treatment. This is the reason why I'm giving 2 stars.

Nice

Really nice place that we enjoyed a lot. Everything was clean, crystal clear water, good safety. All the kids had fun all day. Food was really good but a bit overpriced considering it was self-service. There were soap and lots of showers. Great slides and wonderful wave pool. For the fifth star: the waves should be more often, today it was only 3 times, should be once an hour because it’s great fun. It should also be allowed to swim a little further out! It should be ok to ride the slides alone! I have 3 kids and since they had to go 2 and 2 someone had to wait. It could be open a little longer, maybe until 18.00 at least. But overall, worth a visit!

Absolutely brilliant fun. Best part of our holiday so far! Food was great, staff helpful and friendly. Felt very relaxed.

Excellent fun for the entire family. Lots of variety. Get there when it opens at 9:30. We arrived around 9:45 and had to wait only 5 minutes for tickets. - kids loved the rides - able to use credit card - food is very reasonably priced and lots of variety - facilities were clean (bring own TP if you use it) - downside - lots of people were smoking (not the fault of Aqua Palace) - umbrellas for shade available highly recommend it!

We had such a fun day! No wait to go in, barely any waiting for the slides. It was on a work day, so it's normal for it to not be packed. Around 2-3pm more kids came in and crowded the place a bit, but it was still doable. The highest slide was closed the entire day, which was a bummer, but there were 3 other ones that were super fun. The place is clean and well maintained. Cannot say anything about the food or drinks as we went for brunch right before this and we weren't hungry the whole day. Only bought a bottle of water inside. They do check for snacks and water at the entrance though.

Great resort for children. My daughter was nearly 4 when we visited last week. A big kids pool, wave pool - wave happens every 3 hours and lazy river we’re enjoyed. Would definitely visit again.

Not much here, popular ride has a long queue, can't take food in. Plus side, the lifeguards are very helpful, watchful and kind. About 6 rides in total. Also too expensive. Should take plenty for half day, we got the in the afternoon and had to pay same as people that paid for full day.

Very clean and good for kids and adults

worth the visit! beautiful historical landmark, reasonable ticket price (8 TDN for adults), about 30 minutes time needed. the views from the tower are superb.

Arrived at the Ribat early which made ascending the tower less tricky. It's very narrow so when crowdless going up and down with one way traffic is easier. The views from the too are stunning.360' of wonderful Sousse and in particular great views of the nearby grande mosque. Adequate information inside and well maintained this is a must do in Sousse.

An exceptional heritage gem in the heart of Sousse. The Ribat stands proudly by the sea, echoing the stories of ancient guardians and travelers who once watched over the city’s shores. Its preservation is admirable, blending the charm of antiquity with accessibility for modern visitors. The climb to the tower — though narrow and steep — rewards you with one of the most stunning views in Tunisia. From the medina’s rooftops to the blue horizon, it’s a scene that captures both peace and grandeur. For anyone passionate about history and timeless beauty, the Ribat of Sousse is an unmissable experience.

Great unique experience in Sousse close to the beach. Kids tickets again cost 2 dinar and adults 8 dinar. The old defence fortress is maintained well, toilet facilities provided and great views of the Sousse (minus piles of rubbish as your view in some places). Keep in mind to get to the tower you have to climb up a narrow staircase.

I highly recommend checking this place out. We just returned from our vacation in Tunisia. I definitely recommend historical sites over markets.

Came here to look around. Some good information on robots is on display. Also some nice views from the top of the tower, which has very narrow steps. Other than that there isn’t too much to see but the price is very cheap so it is worth doing.

Plain solid fort lots of storage and rooms basic but in excellent condition given age 891 ad well worth admission

We have been scammed by one agency - see photos - who provided a very dirty and invivable apartment - fridge not working, TV with cut cables, dirty linen with holes, shaved hair in the room and dirt on the sofas, floor with dried spilled liquid- also the agent was agressive and refused to cancel our stay as we asked. The place is full of sick and deadly cats, garbage everywhere, bed smell is strong and unbearable, the place is unhealthy and can be life threatening to kids and people with immunity issues - please be careful when trying to book a stay in Monastir avoid to book in Residence Kuriat and with Cap Marina Monastir agency.. it was a nightmare for us

For boat lovers there are boats, small & large, working & luxurious. Next to the marina there is a public beach, great for a swim on a hot day.

Nice and quite place to visit

Good service at the marina and reasonable prices. Many different food choices and only a short walk into the centre of Monastir with the markets and other attractions.

stayed there for a month in summer 25. Marina surprised me by quickly answering all questions on booking, etc., all quite efficient. What took us by surprise was the attitude, crawling speed and horrible bureaucracy of the check in process. Endless forms all on paper, officers filling endless books, and this is the 21st century… not a single computer used. 3 officers conducting a boat search, very arrogant, opening cupboards and bags… asking for “presents” in form of whiskey… all this took two and a half hours with drone and sat phone being locked up in the customs office. They kicked out our agent, which was very frustrating as he was the only link to communicate… they dont speak english and we have no french or arabic… horrible experience which i do not think i would want to do again. Checking out was very similar… another shift of police and customs this time, but still two and a half hours… after telling them that we need to get fuel after we are checked out, we were told to go get fuel first, then dock somewhere and only then they will come to do a search and give us clearance… about the marina itself, it is center of life for the town, lots of people walking around and in cafes. A couple of places with beer. Food very very average. Lots of garbich drifting around in the water. Power very week and sometimes unstable, was tripping when i tried to draw 16 amps, only worked on 10. People say Hamamed is better, but i doubt it…

The marina is lovely and even better during the end of December when there are no other tourists around. The water is spectacularly clear and you can see right to the bottom. Watch the fishing boats come in and out with the latest catch

great calm place. it's great for taking a walk or sit and watch the boats and the clear water or enjoy a meal or coffee

Initially I thought it was a mosque when I was travelling past it by car. However learnt that it was Habib's Museum. Really nice design of the building and fantastic history/life captured of Habib Bourguiba.

It’s a short visit, but definitely worth it if you’re nearby. A nice blend of history and elegance, great for a quiet cultural stop.

Super beautiful, someone make it a resort!! I liked the camels, but not the leftovers on the floor, not so nice in place for the dead… guess the camel doesn’t care.

I loved the design of the Mausoleum and the beautiful carvings on the wall, a place worth visiting

This is an impressive modem structure, the mausoleum of the former president Habib Bourguiba, considered the Father of Tunisia. I was there on a public holiday so it was closed,. It was still mightily impressive from the outside though.

Lovely peaceful resting place. It is free to enter. There is a huge plaza leading up to the main entrance gates. Public access is on the right hand side past the exit to the rear of the building. Photographs adorn some rooms, there is stair access to the upper floor.

Looks like a mosque from far, only realized that it is a shrine of the former President of Tunisia Habib Bourguiba and his family.As for the shrine, we ask God for wellness and safety in our religion. It is not permissible to build graves and shrines.

The Ribat of Monastir is a historical site with some notable features, though it has its drawbacks. The entrance fee for adults is 8 Dinars. One of the highlights of visiting the Ribat is that it's great for taking pictures, offering picturesque views of the surrounding area. Many visitors also appreciate looking at the view from the structure. The beautiful courtyard provides a pleasant and photogenic space to explore. However, it's important to be aware that the Ribat has tight and narrow spaces. This can be dangerous, especially when climbing up the stairs where you might encounter other people coming in the opposite direction. Additionally, if you're tall, be careful of head height in some areas. For those interested in museums, the museum within the Ribat is very small and boring. On a practical note, the Ribat has toilet facilities. In summary: The Ribat of Monastir offers some lovely views and photo opportunities, particularly within its beautiful courtyard. However, visitors should be mindful of the potentially dangerous tight spaces and low head heights. The museum on-site is unlikely to be a highlight.

A castle by the sea. Big walls, gates, a sea gate .With a tower that, from the top of a narrow winding stair ,affords an amazing view. Cramped at the top , beware girls taking selfies and blocking the view. Nice and clean. Lots of levels, steps up to the fire step ,lookout areas ,guardrooms . Narrow steps ,no handrails and some very dark areas (Great fun if you do not worry about H and S) The Monty Python "Life of Brian" was filmed in it's entirety ,on location ,in this castle. What's not to like, castle ,sea ,steps ,towers big courtyard. Add imagination ,sit and contemplate. Visited as part of countrywide group tour so time limited, I could have stayed half a day!

It’s not exceptional in every way, but the view more than makes up for it. You’ll get an incredible panorama stretching over the sea and the city — especially at sunrise or sunset, the light softens the harsh edges of the urban landscape and the water glows. The setting is peaceful, perfect for moments when you just want to sit back, breathe, and take it all in. The facilities aren’t luxurious or overly fancy, and you won’t find anything wildly unique here, but for the price and ambiance, it delivers well. If you value scenery and a calm vibe over high-end amenities, this is worth a stop.

This place is a gem. Not only for the historical importance and value of the ruins and how well preserved it is but because of the outstanding views it offers of Monastir. The climb up to the tower and the views from the top itself are spectacular. Remarkable value for this historical marvel...if you have seen the Ribat of Sousse this place will be familiar, but is much bigger and has more to offer....

Impressive fortress, staff were all very friendly and welcoming, although not much to do other than walk round inside and visit the small museum where there are a few artifacts. Ok for kids but our DO (9yo) got bored very quickly. The main tower offers very impressive views of Monastir and the local beach. Tower is a winding small passage which is not suitable for those with limited mobility. Over all, 4 stars as it really is an impressive monument, but not necessary to spend a lot of time at it. Cost was 18 TND for 2 adults and 1 child (~£4.55). Toilets were clean. Didnt get to the cafe although there apparently is one!

Very nice big castle, historical one including very huge tour accessible all the days, including roman théâtre, high Tour and museum

This Ribat is a wonderful place to visit. It is bigger than that in Sousse but not as preserved as the latter. You can spend a considerable time here if you take your time to explore this wonderful place. There is a small museum inside. The inner courtyard is fairly huge. Beautiful views overlooking the sea and the city. Stairs to the top can be a bit tight if there is someone heading in the opposite direction. Please mind your head in the reception area if you are over 5ft7 as the arch is fairly low. There are toilet facilities, free parking and security on site.

Worthy of a detour. A place buy authentic, locally made souvenirs.

There is everything here and especially traditional things like clothes, souvenirs, decorative elements, wallets and purses, chess games, handmade cosmetic products and much more. Comparing to soula center in Sousse which contains almost the same products, soula center is less expensive than Yasmina center. ans soula center has in addition a 3D museum so I recommand it better that this center

It must be visited by every tourist visiting Tunisia

Great place with fixed prices

Too expensive for unnecessary items

Nice place

(Translated by Google) Large gift shop with fixed prices. The three-story complex of Yasmina and Dorra stores at the entrance of the Medina has a huge selection - from small souvenirs, ceramics, perfumes to leather and jewelry. Of course, there are many small shops nearby where you can find similar things, and cheaper - it’s up to everyone to choose. Here, even for large purchases, there are no discounts, only on certain days, usually on weekends. (Original) Большой магазин подарков с фиксироваными ценами. Трехэтажный комлекс магазинов Yasmina и Dorra на входе Медины располагает огромным выбором - от мелких сувениров, керамики, парфюмерии до кожаных и ювелирных изделий. Конечно, рядом вокруг множество мелких лавочек, где можно аналогичное найти, и дешевле - дело каждого выбирать. Здесь же, даже при больших покупах скидки нет, только в определенные дни, обычно в выходные.

Amazing seafood restaurant, they don't have a menu, it's a full menu service, offering all types of seafood varieties

The restaurant is perfectly located within the Monastir port. The food quality is excellent, and the portions are generous. The dessert was wonderful, complemented by live music from a nearby singer. The staff are friendly and empathetic, making the experience even more enjoyable.

15 course fish mezze for €20!! Great Service in a nice ambience. Food was good too, you won't be able to eat everything that's put in front of you. This is really excellent value for money.

Great service, food and atmosphere. Highly recommended.

I would give this place a solid 3.5/5 stars. Wish they had an a la carte menu because the quality of dishes of the set menu was all over the place - 2-3 stars for the bread, fish soup, and various appetizers, and 4 stars for the grilled fish and dessert. If I could, I would skip the appetizers and just get the grilled fish, but it all comes together for 55TND. It’s also a lot of food for one person so I feel like I created a lot of food waste. Fish soup - mostly salty, not sure if there was even any fish in it (unless it’s just supposed to have fish flavor, not fish chunks) Appetizers - most of these were unexceptional and tasted like they had been sitting out for a while Grilled fish - this was actually fresh and tasted delicious Dessert - the fruit was so perfectly ripe and juicy. Also enjoyed the citron sorbet. I was stuffed at this point and didn’t get to the plate of cookies that they served alongside mint tea All in all, the food was decent, but the restaurant could definitely use improvements.

Decent food but I hated that they are charging 4TND per bottle of water on top of 67TND

The food is excellent! I got to this place expecting a menu but I directly got some fish soup and I didn't mind, then I figured out they have the same service for everyone. After the soup I got some delicious appetizers. And after that I got a grilled fish which was very tasty. And we finished with some fruits, Ice cream and dessert. It was a nice experience, which I only can recommend. I will go back gladly :)

The Basins of Aghlabides hold immense historical and cultural significance as an incredible feat of engineering from the Islamic Golden Age. These basins were once a symbol of sophistication, ingenuity, and the rich history of Kairouan. However, visiting this site today was a deeply disappointing and heartbreaking experience. The site is in an abandoned state, with no clear maintenance or care taken to preserve its historical value. The lack of cleanliness and the neglect of the surroundings are glaring. The absence of proper signage or informative materials makes it difficult for visitors to understand and appreciate the importance of this historical landmark. As someone who values history and culture, it is painful to see such an essential piece of our heritage left in this condition. The potential for this site to educate, inspire, and attract visitors is enormous, yet it is being squandered due to neglect. I urge those responsible for the preservation of Tunisia’s historical landmarks to take immediate action to restore and maintain this site. The Basins of Aghlabides deserve better care and attention to reflect their importance and to honor the legacy they represent. Until proper restoration and maintenance are carried out, I cannot recommend this site to others. Visiting it in its current state is a profoundly disappointing experience for anyone who values history and heritage.

Very nice site, not taken care of. Very dirty, even the water. Would have been wonderful if some effort were put into cleaning and taking care of it Clearly it is used by locals as a park.

Water storage tanks built in Islamic Era to hold water brought down from the mountains by man made water courses Visited as part of a group tour and had I walked past without being told of the historical significance, would not have realised as they appear to be modern. It never ceases to amaze me how, without all the modern technology, edifices like this were skilfully created with accuracy ,from natural materials ,built to endure. Water level low and not clean

beautiful holy place! must see but only once

Worth a quick stop. It's easy to get to and plenty of parking and free. Unfortunately the water there is not the cleanest. However, seeing the size of basins (very well preserved) and their historical significance is with the detour

It’s not a photogenic place, but its historical significance is remarkable.

It's an interesting place and impressive water reservoirs in a well maintained relaxing park. Kids have a small playground and amusement park. It was no entrance fee at this time and could drive in by car.

Zaouia of Sidi Sahab is also known as the "Barber's Mosque". It is said that when Muhammad's barber came to Kairouan, he was wearing three tufts of Muhammad's beard. In order to commemorate his contribution, this "Shrine of the Sacred Friend" was built to commemorate him after his death. Originally, it was just a small mausoleum, but it was gradually expanded to include a Koran school and a mosque. When we visited, we happened to see two couples holding their weddings. The scene was so lively!

Pretty little mosque. Visited during a small group tour of Tunisia. Peaceful. Tiles good example of typical Islamic decoration of region and era

Beautiful masjid and resting place of Sidi Sahabi. Men offering scented holy water, sadaqah (charity) is optional. Beautiful architecture

Beautiful zawiya [monastery] of Sidi Sahabi. According to tradition, Abu Zama'a al-Balawi (also known as Sidi Sahib), the barber and a Companion of the Islamic Prophet Muhammad, was buried here in 654 after dying in battle. Tradition also holds that he was buried with three hairs from Muhammad's beard. Today, he is also considered the town's patron saint.

beautiful building and nice craft

Zawiya of Sidi Nasr Ben Ali Al-Qurawshi – Testour, Tunisia 🇹🇳 This Quranic school was founded around 1650 by Sidi Nasr Al-Qurawshi and restored in 1733 by Haj Abdelwahid Al-Maghrawi. The complex includes a vaulted entrance, a courtyard surrounded by student rooms, a main mausoleum, and an inner prayer space. In the corner, there's also a smaller courtyard leading to the mausoleum of Sidi Ammar.

This was the prettiest of the six locations accessible from the 12 dinar (~£3.50) ticket for attractions in Kairouan. Some beautiful tiling and lovely architecture.

One of oldest mosques in the world and still in a very good shape. The nicest think in the city. The mosque is looks very nice and simple. But it still has a very strong spirtuality. ⚠️ Non-Muslims should check visiting times.

The Great Mosque of Kairouan is one of the most awe-inspiring places in Tunisia — a true masterpiece of early Islamic architecture and spirituality. Built in the 7th century, it’s one of the oldest mosques in the Muslim world, and you can feel its history in every column and arch. The vast courtyard, intricate mihrab, and towering square minaret are breathtaking, especially in the soft afternoon light. Even if you can’t enter the prayer hall, the views from the courtyard and surrounding terraces are stunning. The atmosphere is peaceful, almost timeless — a perfect spot to pause and reflect. Travel tips: Visit early morning or late afternoon for the best light, dress modestly, and take time to explore the medina streets around the mosque for handmade carpets and local pastries.

An amazing place full of history and beauty. The Kairouan Grand Mosque is one of the most important sites in Tunisia and a must-visit for anyone interested in culture and architecture. It’s better to dress modestly — long trousers or a skirt are recommended. Ladies should wear a hijab, but don’t worry if you don’t have one — they provide them for free at the entrance. The atmosphere is peaceful and respectful, and the architecture is truly breathtaking. Tickets are 12 TD per person.

A UNESCO world heritage site, the grand mosque of Kairouan, aka Ukba mosque, was founded more than a millennium ago and has gone through numerous e pensions and renovations. It's minaret at 31 meters tall, is considered oone of the highest in the world. The interior section of the mosque has some 400 pillars built in the architectural style of Roman and Byzantine buildings. You can access the mosque for 12 TND, which gives you access to other places in the city to visit as well. The courtyard is vast and impressive. The prayer hall is only used for praying and cannot be visited by tourists. Consider that it is a sacred site, so modest dressing is necessary. If you are on shorts or sleeveless dresses, gowns are provided by the guides.

One of the holiest mosques in the Islamic world. Wonderful period architecture. From the outside walls this place looks very impressive, inside the walls you are present this serene place where you can sense the peace. Inside the prayer halls, this period building still have old lanterns. There is a small donation to pay to enter the mosque.

I love visited the Kairouan Grand Masjid and I strongly recommend it to everyone who is visiting Tunisia. I travel from Tunis city to Al Kairouan early morning just to visit the Masjid. It gives you a clear picture about the history. Couple of hours from Tunis city is not too far especially if you’re visiting this masjid. There are many ways to travel, so choose the best for you. Try to come early to enjoy each moment that you will spend in the city.

As a big fan of Islamic architecture, I’m truly amazed by this mosque, a breathtaking masterpiece that showcases the elegance and grandeur of Islamic design.

Location is excellent for sure. Room—There is a lot of deep cleaning required for bathrooms, and the room service team is more attentive and on board. Reception is attentive. We had a situation when the smoke alarm went off, and after two attempts, speaking with the front desk team, we got someone to come and investigate. In terms of food, that was not 4-star hotel food. There was no authenticity, flavour, or viability. Staying for 10, we got bored. On the other hand, the Animation team and waiting team were amazing!! Umar (I hope I got his name right) welcomed us. You must be cat lover!! They are everywhere 😻

Let me start by saying that upon arrival at the hotel, we were greeted by indifferent and occasionally rude reception staff. The rooms were in a terrible state: our shower gel wasn't replenished for three days, and there were only two towels (even though there were three of us). The food was repetitive and mostly cold. I repeatedly found cockroaches in our room. The only saving grace was that the entertainment staff was very friendly and cheerful (the child had plenty to do). I can't help but mention the beautiful and clean beach. We chose a hotel with a late checkout, and according to all the documents, we were supposed to check out at 2 p.m., but reception said checkout was at 12 noon and we'd have to pay extra for the extra two hours. You have to be careful when playing water volleyball in the pool. My husband cut his toes, and the hotel staff only offered a band-aid. When my husband asked for a spare, they told him to go to the pharmacy and buy some. This is not a 4-star hotel set.The service and customer service here were rated 2.

An excellent vacation in a beautiful hotel on a lovely sandy beach with a water park, several restaurants, pools, available massages, and an animation team that is approachable to everyone, full of positive energy and good vibes, which greatly contributes to the pleasant atmosphere every day, both for children and adults. We've been coming here for two years in a row, even though that's not usually our habit, but the satisfaction after our first visit last year made the decision easy :). The hotel staff is friendly and ready to quickly respond to any request. With several pools, you truly have everything you need so that there's no reason to leave the complex—though for those who want excursions, they are available. There's so much to do and enjoy that time will fly by, and I recommend everyone to visit this beachfront hotel and enjoy the beautiful sandy beach and all the other amenities it offers.

The staff are absolutely brilliant, so friendly and treat you like family. Great services with daily shows that are put together so well. Rooms could do with a slight update but doesn’t take away front eh great experience here

The beach, like the entire coastline of Mahdia, is truly beautiful — soft sand, clear sea, and a peaceful atmosphere. It was windy during our stay, and there were some jellyfish, but that’s out of anyone’s control. Unfortunately, the beach furniture (sunbeds) is very old, dirty, and uncomfortable due to being worn out. There are not enough chairs or side tables. Still, the beach was the most enjoyable part of the vacation. The hotel itself is outdated and poorly maintained, with hygiene being the biggest issue. Non-renovated rooms have old furniture, but surprisingly good mattresses and pillows — we slept well. Our room attendant was extremely polite, always smiling, and truly dedicated. Thanks to him, our room was always clean and fresh-smelling. He earned and deserved every tip we gave him. However, the rest of the hotel fails to meet basic standards. Public areas and restrooms are consistently dirty. Housekeeping uniforms were visibly unclean, and cleaning equipment looked like it hadn’t been replaced in decades — dirty mops and rags were used, which explains the poor hygiene. Food selection is limited and monotonous. Many dishes are fried or breaded. There are no proper labels, especially for allergens. Breakfast is extremely weak: almost no fruit — just dates and prunes. Lunch and dinner include some fruit (melon, watermelon, peaches, occasionally grapes). Snacks during the day are mostly fried (chips, donuts, pancakes), with no fruit offered. Fresh orange juice is available only at breakfast, squeezed by hand by one person, causing long queues every morning. The attitude of the staff is another major issue. In the outdoor snack area, staff are unapproachable and uninterested — some act as if guests are bothering them. I even had a cook rudely throw a potato onto my plate, which fell apart in front of me. It was embarrassing. On a positive note, one waiter — a kind man with glasses — was friendly and respectful to everyone. The rest of the restaurant staff were okay. The restaurant manager (with a mustache) doesn’t speak English and showed no interest in helping when I asked about allergens. Despite signs advising guests to speak to the manager for dietary needs, no real support is provided. If you have gluten intolerance or allergies, know that no alternative bread or pastry options exist. Reception was generally fine, but on our last day — despite having a night flight, traveling with a toddler under the age of three, and offering to pay for late check-out — our request was refused. I know for a fact the rooms were empty (including ours and the one next door), as I returned hours later to pick up a forgotten toy. A bit of flexibility and kindness here would’ve made a big difference. If they had allowed us to stay a few more hours, it could have softened our overall impression — but instead, it left a worse one. To be clear — this didn’t ruin our holiday. But would we return? Probably not. Would we recommend it to others? No. The issue isn’t the queues for food or the lack of variety. The real problem is the attitude toward guests and the lack of care for even the basics. Many guests we met shared the same opinion. This hotel has huge potential due to its perfect beachfront location — but without serious investment in hygiene, training, and guest service, that potential is completely wasted. It’s a shame that only positive reviews get a response, while the negative ones are ignored—as if nothing was written. Management/owners, all of that did happen… and rest assured, with that kind of attitude, you’re losing guests.

The hotel generally doesn't deserve 4 stars. Rooms and restaurants need renovation. The beach and pool area are nice. But the sad and bad thing about this hotel is, that the very first contact with this hotel is people from reception, who do their job very unprofessionally, charging you extra money to get earlier in the room ( i asked them if they can let me know if anything is available before 2 pm, because my little son wasn't feeling well). Other employees who are working on the beach or in restaurants are very nice and I will give them 5 stars anytime!

The hotel is simply a tragedy. I do not recommend it to anyone. It will completely ruin your vacation. I would not give it a single star. I have no words for the food, it is simply terrible. The staff is a tragedy, you really need to learn about culture and communication.

Nice place.... There is different kinds of people.... We just hope to improve the service client to be More fast when check order.... 🥤☕🌴

Wish we had longer to spend in Mahdia,quant little village, Cairo Square very chanting.

Such a lovely place to visit while in Mahdia. Definitely the coffee shop there is worth staying at as well to enjoy a cup of coffee or an lemonade.

We had the best time at our dive today! All the instructors were so helpful and understanding of my fear of water, and made sure I was completely comfortable before starting. The experience is nothing short of amazing, we saw so much wild life and it felt like we were under water for much longer than 20 minutes. I 100% recommend coming here for a day trip, it was a once in a lifetime experience I'll never forget ☺️

My first dive and definitely not the last! The diving instructor was very professional and helped me feel completely at ease even though I had a great fear of breathing underwater

I had an amazing experience. The staff were welcoming and professional, and the instructors were knowledgeable, patient, and clearly passionate. Safety was a top priority, and the well-maintained gear made me feel completely confident throughout. Whether you’re new or experienced, this club has something for everyone.

The lads that work there are super sound. 120 dinar is great value for the beginner dive, especially coniidering the fact that it includes taxis to and from the hotel! The dive was great fun, and the instructors made it stress free.

The staff were welcoming and professional, and the knowledgeable instructors made me feel confident. Safety was a priority, and the well-maintained gear ensured my comfort. Whether you’re new or experienced, this club has something for everyone.

We wrote a while before to plan dives for a group of 15 people with different levels and were told that everything was possible and we just had to come. They mixed beginners and certified divers on the boat, with the same 5 BCD, regulators and tanks for everyone... So we basically started our dive with partially empty tanks. Buddy check was not possible as we exchange BCDs and tanks in the water. We only stayed 32 minutes underwater (max depth 13m, average 6m) was quite short. Dive masters digged to find octopuses and manipulate them to show us, not respectful and quite not a way of diving to share with beginners. When I tried to discuss these points and negociate a lower price, the guy got upset and said "Don't pay if you didn't like it". Would've expected better understanding. Finally paid a bit less but the guy just ignored me so I let the bills on the counter and left. Atmosphere on the boat was nice though, we could play music on the speakers and the dive masters/instructors were nice and fun.

They charge you +20dt for pictures then they take like forever to send them I had to remind them and they are not even sure the pictures are yours if you are wearing a suit it is hard to identify yourself so i’ not even sure if the pictures are mine, and also they send the pictires in low quality, I asked them to send them as files so quality doesn’t drop they ignored me, the experience is normal over all not worth the price.

One of the most impressive pieces of historical architecture I have seen. I love the fact that you climb over it and under it to explore it. Could do with a few more signs. Honestly fascinating. Great views. I got there at opening time to have the place to myself and ruled for a short time 😂👍

Stunning ancient architecture! As to be expected, although I must admit I didn't expect it to be so quiet. I'm not sure if we went during a quiet season or something, but i was genuinely shocked by how few people there were. Visiting any historical cite like this in Europe would be completely packed so it felt like we had a private tour of the place 😄

Visiting the El Jem Amphitheater was one of the highlights of my trip to Tunisia. It’s hard to believe this grand structure was built in the 3rd century AD — entirely out of stone, without modern tools or machinery. Once home to more than 30,000 spectators, it stands today as one of the largest and best-preserved Roman amphitheaters in the world, second only to the Colosseum in Rome. Walking through the massive arches and underground passages, you can almost hear the echoes of history. The arena, the corridors, and the symmetry of the stones are incredibly well preserved — it truly feels like stepping back in time. What surprised me most was how peaceful the place was. Unlike similar sites in Europe, it wasn’t crowded at all, which made the experience even more special. I could take my time exploring and taking photos without any rush. If you visit, go during the morning or late afternoon for the best light and fewer people. Bring water if you’re coming in summer — it can get quite hot. A must-see for anyone visiting Tunisia — both for history lovers and photographers. Reviewed by @the.quicktravels

Visiting the El Jem Amphitheater in Mahdia, Tunisia was an unforgettable experience. As soon as I caught sight of it from the distance, I was in awe of how incredibly well preserved this ancient Roman monument is. It’s hard to believe that something built nearly two thousand years ago still stands so proudly today, dominating the quiet town of El Jem with such presence and grandeur. The structure is massive, and you can easily spend hours exploring all its levels, arches, and tunnels. What makes this amphitheater so special is not just its size—though it’s one of the largest in the world—but also how accessible it is. You’re not just looking at it from a distance; you can actually walk through it, climb up the different floors, and even stand in the same underground corridors where gladiators once prepared for battle. It’s truly incredible to see the engineering and craftsmanship that went into building it. The stonework, the symmetry, and the way light filters through the arches make every photo look breathtaking. From the upper levels, the view of the surrounding city and countryside is stunning. You get a full panoramic sense of how grand this amphitheater once was when it hosted tens of thousands of spectators. On the ground level, there’s just as much to see—the tunnels, the open arena, and the inner chambers all tell a story of a time when this was the heart of entertainment in ancient North Africa. That said, while the historical value and architectural beauty are truly world-class, I do think there’s room for improvement when it comes to site maintenance. The monument itself is well preserved structurally, but certain areas could use more care and regular cleaning. There was some litter here and there, and a few sections looked neglected or worn down from the elements. It would be great to see more visible preservation efforts—simple things like restoring signs, trimming overgrown areas, or keeping pathways clear would make a big difference. Another area that could really use attention is sanitation. There were limited restroom facilities, and the ones available could definitely be better maintained. For such a major tourist site, it’s important to provide basic amenities for visitors, especially considering the number of people who come from all over the world to see this incredible landmark. Having more shaded rest areas, trash bins, and clearer signage would also enhance the overall experience. On the bright side, the entrance fee is very reasonable—almost surprisingly affordable given the historical significance of the site. It makes it accessible for both locals and tourists, which I really appreciate. I just wish a portion of the ticket revenue could go toward more active preservation and upkeep of the site because it truly deserves it. Overall, I would absolutely recommend visiting the El Jem Amphitheater to anyone traveling through Tunisia. It’s an awe-inspiring place that transports you back in time and gives you a real sense of history and human achievement. Despite the few issues with cleanliness and maintenance, the experience itself is unforgettable. Standing inside such an ancient structure and imagining what life was like centuries ago is something I’ll never forget. If you’re a history lover, photographer, or simply someone who enjoys exploring cultural heritage sites, El Jem is a must-see. Just bring some water, wear comfortable shoes, and prepare to be amazed.

Wonderful place. Not crowded and you can walk almost everywhere. In colostrum in Rome it is not possible to walk at arena. Entrance 12 the for adults and 2 for 4yo child. Definitely place worth to see

Biggest amphitheatre in Africa, only bigger in the world is in Rome but this one is extremely well preserved and more unrestricted regarding access. It is incredibly impressive as you’d expect and wasn’t busy at all when I visited. Only a few quid for a ticket.

If you decide to come to Tunisia, one of the most must see places is the Colosseum of El Jem. Very affordable entry price and don't forget to check for some souvenirs inside the premises on a normal price, there's 2 small shops right before exit

The El Jem Museum is a true gem! The mosaic collection is absolutely stunning – authentic Roman mosaics with incredible detail and beautifully preserved colors. The museum is calm and well-organized, and the entrance is shared with the amphitheater, making the visit very convenient. There was no wait at the entrance. Highly recommended for anyone interested in history, art, and ancient culture!

The mosaics in the museum are beautiful and well-preserved. Don't forget to visit the historical ruins in the extensive garden. We also used the same 12 TND ticket we paid for the Roman amphitheater to enter the museum. The museum is located in another building about 700 meters away, after turning left at the amphitheater exit.

Mosaic museum and Africa house are free with your ticket from the colosseum. This is equally impressive with stunningly preserved mosaics and Africa House attached which has an interesting history. It was unexpectedly excellent to see this place.

Well, if you are in El Jem you came for this too 😁 ! It's a nice museum, full of gigantic masterpieces or tiny stone art work 😲 It's not big but there's a lot to see inside and outside, ideally 1 hour should be enough 👌🏻 ⚠️ The ticket for the Museum works for the Amphitheater, you do NOT need to buy it twice ⚠️ Go, explore and make sure you stop by some local restaurant for lunch, avoid the front ones, expensive and not as good 😉

A collection of mosaics (Good to see if you do not visit Bardot Museum in Tunis). Reconstruction of a villa amidst the remaining walls and footings of some of the other buildings that probably constituted the core of the estate of the Roman Chap who owned it.(Did not keep much notes of the actual owner, just the photos as was so overwhelmed by the previous amphitheatre visit !) Visited as part of group tour Peaceful and not busy

So the visit to the museum is included with the coliseum for 12d. Very interesting. The mosaics as late roman are astonishing. So detailed and expressive. I was fascinated. Good notes alongside each piece also explain and help to build a picture of the house of Africa remains which are outside the museums protective walls. The museum experience really embellishes the experience of the coliseum as this where the people lived who helped build and pay for the structure to be built and no doubt they would have been spectators at the games. 10/10...

Roman era mosaic and other artifacts' museum. It is part of your ticket to El Jem so don't miss it. It is located a short walk from El Jem. A tour will take around an hour or so if you like to breeze through then obviously it can be done within 30 mns.

A little to nothing to see. For a 5D ticket, don't expect much. Suggest a link between the fortress and the museum.

This fortress is not big but very interesting and left me with many questions. There were many archeologists actively working on projects inside but little information otherwise. I really enjoyed the views from the battlements and wandering around this historic building. 8 dinar entrance is very reasonable.

Small but interesting little fort part of a chain of them down the Tunisian coast This one is currently the subject of an archaeological dig.

Entry for Maghreb region is 5 TND,Eurpians pay 8 as of Jul/2025, place is small no access to the catacombs or the water reservoir or the tunnels between the fortress,part of the sea view vantage point is closed as will,has decent toilets. I noticed also fake carbonate based tablets with the goddess Tanet and Indian numbering on them on them,someone must have added them for suspense i guess but its sad to see them among genuine archeological site.

A must see with a beautiful panoramic view 🌅

Borj Ghazi Mustapha, also known as Borj El Kebir, is a historic fortress in Houmt Souk, Djerba. Built in the 15th century and reinforced by the Ottomans, it defended the island against numerous invasions and remains a powerful symbol of Djerba’s resilience and strategic importance in the Mediterranean.

The fortress itself is a great landmark, inside is a bit empty though.

Nice compact interesting museum which focuses on the cultural systems of Djerba and the Djerban regional differences. Sections detailed agriculture, pottery, marriage, fishing, music etc. Nice staff. 8dinar entry is worthwhile.

A beautiful journey into Djerba’s history and traditions. The museum is well-organized, with detailed exhibits on local crafts, clothing, and daily life. You can really feel the island’s soul here from the architecture to the artifacts. We visited on August 13th, Tunisia’s Women’s Day, and all Tunisians could enter for free, as they do on national holidays. It’s a must-visit for anyone who wants to understand Djerba beyond the beaches.

This is very well put together cool museum. I highly recommend visiting.

Not too big, that's good. Descriptions in English, Arabic and French. No indication of the age of the artifacts though. But what's upsetting is that local Tunisian visitors allow their children touch the artifacts where it's written "don't touch". They just don't care. It's awful.

Very nice museum in Djerba. It shows how the people lived on the island and what they did for a living. The museum explains this in Arabic, French and English. It covers the agricultural part of Djerba, pottery, weaving, gold & jewelry, clothes and marriages. Beside the good explanation (and funny English translation) it is foremost a very beautiful museum!

It was nice to discover the Tunisian heritage in details especially the one in Djerba it's totally different from the other areas

Excellent museum. Well laid out and v informative in Arabic French and English. Apart from a few of the info videos not working when we visited everything was impressive and gave a v good idea of djerbian life. Absolutely worth a visit

No idea. Found the office but they weren't open. My french phone card would cost 7 euros a minute to call so didn't bother. Arranged fantastic camel ride through my hotel.

Quadbiking and Tour guide were great, would definitely reccomend this

Useful

Nice place

We had an amazing experience with AUTRE TUNISIE during our trip to Djerba! They organized all our activities, and everything was perfectly planned from start to finish. The team was professional, friendly, and incredibly helpful. Even when our Flamingo sea trip was unexpectedly cancelled due to bad weathrr, they handled it with great flexibility and allowed us to swap it for another activity without any hassle. Thanks to them, we had a smooth and unforgettable vacation. We genuinely enjoyed every moment and couldn’t have asked for better service. Highly recommended – truly a five-star travel agency!

Djerbahood was an urban art event during which artists from around the world took over the Tunisian village of Erriadh on Djerba. Today it is an impressive and beautiful open-air graffiti museum. The weather was perfect and it was great fun just strolling through all the alleyways, discovering the various works of art and taking photos. Many people visited Djerbahood. However, as there was so much to see and so many opportunities to walk, there were never too many people on one spot. There are also a lot of small shops, restaurants, cafes which were all beautifully decorated and had its own charm. We totally loved and enjoyed Djerbahood and would always come back.

🌍 Explore Djerbahood: Tunisia’s Open-Air Art Museum! 🎨 If you’re seeking a unique art experience, look no further than Djerbahood! Located in Erriadh on Djerba Island, this stunning open-air gallery transforms the streets of a traditional Tunisian village into a living canvas.

This experience is a must for art lovers, travelers, and those who want to see how art can transform communities.

Better than expected! Lots of really cool street art, and various cafes/gift shops

Great art everywhere, also stopped off for some nice pomegranate juice. Nice place to buy souvenirs from Djerba.

Djerbahoud neighborhood - the open-air museum that revives the impoverished Tunisian village of Eriad. As we walked, it was as if we were immersed in a Travel Chanel movie. Blossoming trees and bushes can be seen everywhere. Even without graffiti, you will definitely like it here. There are dozens of attractive urban details around - the windows of the houses, their doors, the fences. There are also many animals. The paintings are so beautiful!

Fabulous wall art from the last 7 years or so...well worth a visit..and it's free!!

Very nice place with beautiful street art. A pleasure to walk the streets and enjoy

I had pretty high expectations as it was regarded as one of the highlights of Djerba Island. There is no doubt that it is beautifully crafted inside and it has a very long history and remains highly significant for Jewish people in Tunisia today and is the most famous Jewish site for the local community. It is where local Tunisian Jews celebrate the holiday of Lag BaOmer.

A place full of history that showcases the rich Jewish heritage of Djerba. Visiting the El Ghriba Synagogue was a truly special experience. The atmosphere is peaceful, the architecture is stunning, and you can feel the centuries of tradition and cultural coexistence within its walls. It’s more than just a religious site. Definitely a must-visit when in Djerba.

Beautiful place, guarded by security. Must buy a ticket in the front office across the street, go thru a scanner, then across the street. Good parking area. Unique synagogue 🕍 filled with tiles, stained glass, and mosaic architecture.

Beautiful historic synagogue on the island of Djerba. Free admission though donations to the synagogue are appreciated.

Nice piece of history - the synagogue’s interior is breathtaking. It’s actually rather small (looks much bigger in the photos). Decent clothing is strictly required, but guys at the entrance provide caps/headscarf to cover just for the visit and help with that.

I really enjoyed my visit to El Ghriba Synagogue. The place is well-maintained and clean, with a peaceful and respectful atmosphere. The people there were friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. Definitely worth a stop if you’re in Djerba!

My first visit in a jewish synagogue. Very impressive.

Whole complex is one of the nicest if not the nicest place on Djerba. As for the museum it could use the exhibit descriptions in english but except for that, its very nice

Nice and quite modern museum with a lot of historical and cultural elements. I recommend planning the museum visit for the hottest hours of the day, as it is ACd.

Very nice, lots of Muslim arts, but everything only in French or Arabic. No security which is a brave move but a plus. Worth checking.

Nice place. Worth the visit and very educational.

A VERY VERY interesting and beautiful museum. Totally worth a visit.

A lovely, small museum with traditional Tunisian and Djerba exhibition

You have to buy combined ticket for all attractions, but we loved this museum. Small and easy to get through but with many beautiful and interesting pieces. Was a perfect glimpse into the history of Djerba and this area of Tunisia.

Strongly recommend to be visited. Around 27 rooms of exposition populated by nice expositions of traditional Djerbian and Tunisian daily life situations.

Nicely organised museum with a plenty of wax figurines capturing daily life on Djerba. It’s also a good viewpoint as the museum is located on the highest point of the island. Pricing seems reasonable, although an extra 3 TND charge for “photo-pass” is a bit pointless.

The Guellala Museum offers a deep dive into the island’s rich history, culture, and traditions. From traditional clothing and crafts to pottery and scenes from daily life, every corner reflects the true spirit of Djerba. The museum is well maintained, with clear explanations and a peaceful atmosphere that makes the visit both informative and enjoyable. It’s a must-see for anyone wanting to understand the heritage of the island beyond the beaches.

Super cool museum to visit! You really get to see how people in Djerba lived and worked back in the day from pottery to daily life traditions. What I loved is that it’s not just visual, there’s also sound and music in some rooms which makes the whole experience feel alive. The most interesting part for me was the Amazigh section with traditional Amazigh clothes and tools plus the amazing collection of women’s marriage dresses from different regions and states in Tunisia. I also loved the section about all the mosques in Djerba, with their names and history. Way more fun and immersive than I expected. Totally recommend it!

This is a wonderful museum. It captures a wide lens aperture into Tunisian culture, which is so varied and rich with traditions. It is meticulously, curated, and lovingly maintained. One of the best experiences I’ve had in the country of Tunisia.

Beautiful buildings, beautiful plantings, nice views. A lovely walk with places to sit, a snack bar, and a gift shop. The museum is laid out well with interpretive statements in Arabic, French and English, and clear directions on moving through the exhibits. Interesting and educational. That said, the exhibits could use some work. Some of the mannequins limbs are in positions that would be impossible or very painful. Many look suspiciously like actual mannequins, all very stiff. Some look like they are about to fall over, props are askew, and everything is covered in dust. But, all in all, a good museum and a beautiful site. Recommend!

A very informative museum at the highest point on the island.

The museum is tiny but extremely interesting, I genuinely think this is worth the stop in Tamezrer. If you are travelling south I strongly recommend this as first stop for the Amazigh tour as it provides an excellent introduction to the local history and culture. Moreover, the owner of the museum is very kind and welcoming, making the whole experience very pleasant!

It was a great experience to be there! Owner of the museum gives a lot of information about amazigh culture. He is so kind. Inside is not huge but it worths to see. You must visit!!!

Could not recommend a visit more. Hosts are so hospitable and thoughtful and have clearly put an incredible amount of work into creating a beautiful traditional home for people to visit. Also very open to answer questions!

The Museum of The Berber Culture - ⴰⵙⴰⵍⴰⵢ ⵉⵎⴰⵣⵉⵖⵏ is a cultural gem, beautifully preserving heritage, traditions, and artistry with inspiring authenticity and educational depth.

A quick stop at the Tamezret (Stone Town) to stretch your legs and visit Musee Berbere to learn about the local culture through the centuries.

Nice museum to learn more about the 'Berbers', the people, the culture and habits. You will be guided by a friendly man that redesigned his old family house to showcase the Berber culture. Entrance is 10 Dinar per person and you have the option to ask a lot of questions.

Great place to visit. Learened a lot about the culture of berbers

We stopped here just for the view but ended up buying one of the locally made carpets (this was before we knew it was a reputable /known spot for carpets). You can just see the detail and craftsmanship on the rugs and for fair price for all the work that is put into these pieces of art. Make a stop here while you're driving between Matmata and the rest of the southern Tunisia. Best place to buy a carpet. Thanks again

The La Belle Vue viewpoint offers beautiful views of Ksar Toujane and the surrounding mountains. There's a shop and café on site, with traditional, stylish Tunisian décor.

A really nice view from the terrace over the valley and the village. The cafe offers espresso, tea with almonds, and cild drinks.

A very nice stop on the way to Madanin. Café with beautiful views and good coffee.

Great view and cafe

A must stop if not for a drink, for sure for the amazing views.

a nice coffee house with good views.. easy place to buy local handicrafts and carpets from the nearby villages
