Day 1

Begin your journey in Sousse by immersing yourself in the vibrant tapestry of its historic Medina. Wander through the maze of narrow streets, where the scent of spices mingles with the vibrant colours of textiles and the chatter of local vendors fills the air. Dive into the bustling souks, where artisans skilfully craft traditional goods, from intricately woven rugs to hand-carved wooden trinkets. As you explore, be sure to visit the magnificent Great Mosque of Sousse, a breathtaking testament to Islamic architecture dating back to the 9th century. Marvel at its elegant minaret and intricate tilework, and soak in the serene ambiance of its inner courtyard. After you explore the Medina, treat yourself to a stroll along the picturesque Sousse Beach. Feel the soft sand between your toes as you bask in the warm Mediterranean sun and listen to the soothing sound of the waves lapping against the shore. In the afternoon, satisfy your curiosity for history at the Archaeological Museum of Sousse. Delve into its fascinating collection of artefacts, including Roman mosaics, Punic sculptures, and Islamic ceramics, each offering a glimpse into Tunisia's rich and diverse heritage. As the day draws to a close, embark on a culinary adventure in the Medina, where tantalizing aromas beckon from every corner. Indulge in local delicacies such as fragrant couscous, fiery harissa, and succulent grilled seafood, savouring each bite as you immerse yourself in the flavours of Tunisia. After your meal, take a stroll along the bustling promenade, where the lights of the city dance on the water and the sea breeze carries with it the promise of another day of adventure in Sousse.
