Holidays uncovered–website you must visit, written by people who have already been there. Plenty to see and do, but in the present climate I think you are very brave.
hi. me and my wife went to sousse last year. had a fantastic time. The bar situation can be a bit confusing when you first arrive .the waiters like to bring the drinks to the table so they can collect a tip and give you funny looks if you stand at the bar. the people are friendly but trust no-one outside the complex.There is a scam in sousse where a man will come up to you pretending to know you and saying he is a waiter in your hotel be aware , you will end up in his brothers shop in a back street.The only advice I can give is go with an open mind as the people are very poor. The market can be very busy and you can get hassle..ed and pulled about a bit. Top tip try and get hold of a entry card before you arrive at the airport this will save on a long delay and don’t forget a pen in your hand luggage they are in short supply. Hope this is a help to you enjoy your holiday. Don’t be put off this is a great place to go on holiday.
sory no not really,, hmm
Sousse is home to many resorts and fine sand beaches, backed by orchards and olive groves. It has the further advantages of a pleasant Mediterranean climate, with hot, dry summers and gentle warm, wet winters, a strategic geographic location and a skilled population.
Although Sousse is associated with olive oil making, this is far from being the only industry in the city. Tourism has become a central activity, with some 1,200,000 visitors every year coming to enjoy its fine hotels and restaurants, trendy nightclubs and casinos, beaches and sports facilities, museums and the Medina (the old city).
A strip of 120 hotels with a capacity of 40,000 beds, runs from about 20 km north of town, south to a traditional downtown, and bazaar with wares directed mainly to tourists.
Located in the vibrant and busy Medina of Sousse and just across the road from the beach, the Justinia is a great choice for your Tunisian holiday! The hotel is AIR-CONDITIONED throughout (high season) and has a café bar, dance bar, pool, Moorish café, and games hall. Rooms are clean and comfortable with en-suite facilities and balcony and most have a splendid sea view.

I live about 30 mins away from Sousse in a town called Monastir. Whenever we want to get out for fun, we go to Sousse. It is full of histor and culture, yet offers many enjoyable things to tourists as well.
Sousse is one of the older cities in Tunisia, and possesses an authentic medina, which was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1988.
GREAT MOSQUE. It is a surprisingly tranquil place despite its location in the middle of the city. Built around 850 AD, the mosque is simple and done in the Aghlabite style; no decoration whatsoever aside from a string of angular Arabic and curved arches. Even the prayer room is covered in reed mats instead of the usual carpet. You must be properly dressed to enter, but green wraps can be rented for a token fee to cover up.
MOSAIC MUSEUM. Located in the gently crumbling old kasbah on the edge of the medina.
THE TRADITIONAL TUNISIAN HOUSE. This charming little museum is located within the old city walls some 200 yards north of the main bus terminal is the home of a long standing Tunisian family that has now become a museum with the passing of the last family member. The property centers on a open courtyard from which access to all the rooms can be gained, including bedrooms for the first and second wife and, in turn, to the children’s rooms. All are delightfully fully furnished, with some curtains dating back 200 years, and with German clocks imported from the 1800′s. The house is complete with a tower, orginally used to watch the stars fror the onset of Ramadan, from which views over Sousse can be gained.
PORT EL KANTAOUI is a tourist complex 10 kilometers north od Sousse. it is home to a modern marina equipped for over 300 boats and several golf courses, as well and a full array of other sporting activities from water skiing to paragliding. The 36-hole PGA approved championship course makes Port El Kantaoui a popular destination for golfing. The architecture, although modern and dazzlingly white, has been modelled on the more traditional buildings in Tunisia, complete with narrow streets and arches. The hotels that line the beachfront extend from Sousse itself along miles of sparkling clean sea to Port El Kantaoui.
HANNIBAL PARK. It’s an amusement park that has a famous roller coaster and has many souviner shops.
HERGLA KARTING PARK. It is another amusement pak and offers lots of fun. There is one ride on there that is extremely fun, but not for the faint of heart! I’ve been on it – it takes you high in the air, and turns you every which way, and even stops and let you dangle for a bit.
CATACOMBS. Nice to visit if you like history. I do, so I found them very interesting and enjoyed them very much.
Sousse also has great nightlife with many resteraunt, discos, cafés, and plenty of shopping! The coast has good beaches and a clear turquoise sea – perfect for swimming!
