Sousse is Very Clean by Douglas Scott

On the eastern coast of Tunisia, two hours from the capital Tunis lies Sousse.

The mildness of its climate, its calm and beautiful coast and the hospitality of its people has long captivated those who came to conquer. Phoenicians, Romans, Byzantines and Arabs settled in this lovely fertile city each leaving their imprint and heritage. No wonder modern day visitors from all over the world find themselves at home and return again and again.

The resort area of Sousse is perfectly integrated into the city and the visitor welcomed to participate in its exuberance. Proud of its heritage, museums and monuments are accessible and opened with pleasure to its guests and the Medina with its tiny colourful shops overflowing with silver jewellery, pure wool blankets, copper and carpets bustle with activity under the towering walls of the ribat.

The hotels that line the beachfront extend from the Sousse itself along miles of sparkling clean sea to the Port El Kantaoui. This complex includes a modern marina equipped for over 300 boats, an 18 hole golf course as well as a full array of sports from water skiing to riding, in a village like setting.

The charm of this white and blue Tunisian style village with its perfectly reproduced medina, never fails to enchant, lending itself to an afternoon stroll through the cobblestone streets to window shop, admire the boats moored in the marina or a refreshing pause at one of the sidewalk cafes. The two story residential apartments that ring the marina observe the same architectural style creating a peaceful and pleasing harmony.

The town of Sousse is very clean in general, and in general the people of Sousse are very friendly.

While Tunisia has a justified deserved reputation for beautiful beaches and sparkling clean seas, with the mild year round climate, this blessed land is also a heaven for the sports minded. Sea sports enjoyed during the summer can well be practiced for most of the year in southern resort areas.

Sports such as golf, tennis, diving, hunting, riding, surfing, sailing, hiking and discovering the numerous sites, cities and museums are year round recreations. Where some sports are not available at your hotel, clubs with small entry fees furnish additional facilities. For the amateur, these clubs can provide lessons at a very reasonable cost and some will rent the necessary equipment.

The Tunisian Tourist offices in most European capitals or in all major cities in Tunisia can supply a list of Guides, maps, brochures, and advice to help you plan an unforgettable vacation.
