Hammamet

For visitors and Tunisians alike Hammamet is another word for vacations and it's ritual of sun bathing on spotless beaches, the gasp of cool water on bronzed skin, dinner on the patio of a beach front hotel, midnight swims, jasmine smell and watching the sun rise in the mirror of the sea.

Hammamet, the "Tunisian Saint Tropez", is all this and more. It’s a way of life, taking the time to relax, meet old friends and make new ones. It's fishermen in brightly painted boats setting out at dawn, the Medina surrounded by its ramparts and crowned by an ancient fort overlooking the sea, fashionable boutiques where resplendent traditional tunics and caftans rival the shimmering sun.

The Gulf of Hammamet shelters miles of fine sandy beaches, sparkling seas and modern hotels dedicated to the comfort and well being of their guests. A variety of sea sports, folklore, exhibitions, festivals and amusements are provided for a memorable vacation.
