Sousse
Sousse is one of the most famous cities in Tunisia and impresses with a successful blend of history, modern vacation infrastructure and Mediterranean lifestyle. The medina of Sousse, with its narrow alleyways, souks and the imposing Ribat fortress, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and offers an authentic insight into the country's historical heritage. At the same time, the extensive beaches, the modern marina of Port El Kantaoui and numerous hotels, restaurants and cafés invite you to relax.
Just a few minutes from the center is the renowned Golf El Kantaoui, a spacious 36-hole course with two varied 18-hole courses: the Sea Course with a view of the Mediterranean and the Panorama Course, which leads through slightly hilly terrain. The courses are attractive for both beginners and experienced players and are characterized by well-tended fairways, water hazards and a Mediterranean park landscape. Modern practice facilities, a clubhouse with restaurant and nearby resorts round off the offer.
With its ideal location on the coast, the mild climate all year round and the combination of beach vacations, culture and golfing pleasure, Sousse offers ideal conditions for a varied vacation - whether active in sports or relaxed and enjoyable.

Best Journey Time
In spring (March to June) and fall (September to November), the climate is pleasantly mild, with temperatures between 20 °C and 28 °C - ideal for golf, sightseeing in the historic medina or relaxing walks along the beach promenade. Swimming in the Mediterranean is also possible from May to October, with July and August being particularly popular with water temperatures of over 25 °C. Those who love the heat will find perfect conditions for a classic beach vacation in the height of summer, while those who enjoy sports and culture will prefer the quieter, more moderate months. Sousse therefore offers attractive options all year round - depending on the type of trip and personal rhythm.
Special Destinations
Away from the beach and golf course, the region around Sousse also has a lot to offer. A stroll through the historic medina with its winding alleyways, the lively souk and the impressive Ribat fortress is a cultural must. If you want to venture further afield, you can reach the charming artists' town of Hergla with its coastal location and traditional craftsmanship or the ancient archaeological site of El Djem, where one of the best-preserved Roman amphitheaters in North Africa is located. A detour to Kairouan, the holy city of Islam with its magnificent mosques and unique old town flair, is also worthwhile. Whether history, crafts or local atmosphere - the excursion destinations around Sousse offer a variety of insights into the cultural heart of Tunisia.
Culinary Highlights
The cuisine of Sousse reflects the diversity of Tunisia: Mediterranean, spicy and characterized by local products. Fresh fish and seafood play a central role in the coastal town - grilled, braised or served in spicy stews. Typical dishes include couscous with lamb or vegetables, the crispy starter brik (stuffed pastry with egg and tuna) and hearty tajines in regional variations. The famous harissa spice paste gives many dishes their characteristic spiciness. To round off the meal, something sweet is a must: baklava, macroud with dates or a glass of mint tea with pine nuts, as is often served in the cafés of the old town. Between street food stalls and fine dining, gourmets will find numerous opportunities to discover authentic taste experiences in Sousse.
Arrival & Infrastructure on Site
Monastir Habib Bourguiba International Airport is only around 20 kilometers away and is regularly served by flights from European cities - especially during the vacation season. Alternatively, Enfidha-Hammamet Airport is around 45 minutes away from Sousse. From both airports, it is easy to get to the city by hotel transfer, cab or rental car. The Tunisian rail network is also well developed: Sousse is part of the coastline and is connected to cities such as Tunis, Sfax and Mahdia. Within the city, cabs, shared cabs (louages) and buses provide affordable and flexible mobility. The tourist infrastructure is excellently developed, with a large selection of hotels, golf resorts, restaurants, cafés and shopping opportunities - from traditional souks to modern shopping centers.
