There is a labyrinth of historical and cultural monuments worth ticking off when staying in Sousse. The Great Mosque and the Sousse Ribat are iconic landmarks, while the views that await you at the top of the hill where the Kasbah sits are snapshot-worthy. Centered within fortress walls is the bustling medina, it makes a great day out for the family and allows you to immerse yourself in true Tunisian culture, too!
Friguia Park sits between Sousse and Port El Kantaoui and is full of creatures from the animal kingdom. From lions and flamingos to cheetahs and sealions, the park aims to protect endangered species and provides a wonderful place for them to live. Kids can ride on camels and donkeys, and you can also swim with dolphins!
The souks in Sousse operate every day, but the Sunday market is an experience in itself. This is when the locals venture out to grab a bargain and in amongst the ceramics, carpets and leathers, you’ll even see them bartering for camels! You may not be visiting the market to haggle for two humps, but you can still pick up some great deals on local delicacies!
