Discover the Artisan Soul and Coastal Charms of Nabeul, Hammamet & Sousse
Your day begins with a convenient pickup from your hotel in Tunis or Hammamet (depending on your chosen option). Set off on a delightful journey through some of Tunisia’s most iconic coastal cities, each offering a unique blend of heritage, culture, and scenic beauty.
Your first stop is Nabeul, a city celebrated for its exceptional craftsmanship, particularly in pottery and ceramics. Here, you'll explore traditional artisan workshops, where skilled craftspeople shape and paint beautiful plates, tiles, and earthenware using techniques passed down through generations. Observe how mats are woven from green rush, an ancient craft that forms a key part of the town’s cultural identity. It’s a hands-on glimpse into Tunisia’s rich artisanal traditions.
Next, travel to the charming seaside town of Hammamet, where a guided walking tour of the old medina awaits. Wander its narrow alleyways, soak in the whitewashed facades, and take in panoramic views of the turquoise sea from its ancient ramparts. Then, visit the George Sebastian Villa, a masterpiece of Arabo-Andalusian architecture. Built in the 1920s, this elegant residence was home to the Romanian aesthete George Sebastian and his American heiress wife. Nestled amidst lush gardens and exotic trees, the villa exudes refinement and offers a window into Tunisia’s cosmopolitan past.
After your tour, enjoy free time for lunch in the modern seaside district of Yasmine Hammamet, home to a variety of restaurants and cafés. Your guide will be happy to recommend local favorites or help tailor your experience to your tastes.
In the afternoon, head to Sousse, one of Tunisia’s oldest cities and a UNESCO World Heritage site. Discover its bustling medina, where ancient walls enclose a vibrant maze of markets, artisan shops, and historic monuments. Admire the Grand Mosque of Sousse and its majestic minaret, a symbol of Islamic architecture in the region.
Before returning to your accommodation, take a stroll through Port El Kantaoui, a picturesque modern marina filled with waterfront cafés, boutiques, and yachts, blending modern elegance with Mediterranean charm.
Conclude this enriching full-day excursion with a scenic drive back to your hotel, filled with unforgettable memories of Tunisia’s artistry, coastal beauty, and cultural treasures.
