Tunisian Tapestry

Hammamet holidays offer the quintessential sand, sun, and sea escape along Tunisia's Mediterranean coast. There's something for everyone with ancient ruins, museums, and an exotic dining scene in the mix. Originally a tiny fishing village, Hammamet's white-sand beaches ensured Tunisia's first beach resort. The vibrant town centre is packed with shops and restaurants against a backdrop of historic fortress walls away from the sand. The fun doesn't stop on Hammamet holidays, with everything from family-friendly theme park rides to buzzing nightlife venues.

Hammamet has a charming setting, snugly wrapping around a cove on the Cap Bon Peninsula. This is Tunisia's first tourist destination. Its sandy beaches and pretty, well-preserved medina (old town) are the main draws, and the city itself is a gentle introduction to North African culture and traditions. Sightseeing usually takes a back seat to laze on the beach and soak up the endless sunshine, but if you find yourself itching to get off the coast, Hammamet is ideally located as a base to explore the rest of Cap Bon's tourist attractions. There are many exciting outdoor activities to choose from during your Hammamet holiday. Dive sites lead to magical underwater worlds in calm waters, ideal for thrilling water sports. Golf courses and tennis courts are great places to go if you're into sports. Jeep safaris take you deep into the Tunisian Sahara Desert on day trips. The action takes place in a Mediterranean climate with sunny skies and warm temperatures.
