This Sousse and Monastir tour strings together three faces of the Sahel coast in one easy private day: the marina of Port El Kantaoui, the walled medina of Sousse and the seafront fortress of Monastir. The drives are short, so most of the day is spent on foot rather than in the car.

The coast's history, minutes apart

The three stops of the Sousse and Monastir tour are less than half an hour from one another, which makes this the gentlest day of the seven. It suits families, first days in Tunisia and anyone staying in Sousse who wants to see the town properly. The times below are for a pickup in Hammamet.

Good to know before you go

Small things that make this coastal day better.

Climb the towers early

The staircases of both ribats are narrow and get busy around midday. Going up first, before the shopping, keeps the climb pleasant.

Lunch by the sea

Grilled fish in Monastir's old port or a terrace in Port El Kantaoui both work well. Your driver can suggest a place for your budget.

An easy day for children

Short drives and open spaces make this the trip we suggest for families with young children. Ask for a child seat when booking.

The route from your hotel

From Hammamet the motorway reaches Port El Kantaoui in about half an hour. Sousse is next door, and Monastir twenty kilometres further south.
