What will you find in Sousse?

One of the things that you’ll find on your Sousse holidays are a whole myriad of ways to get yourself lost – and hopefully find yourself again! The city is centred around an ancient medina, which is made up of hundreds of narrow, winding alleys between buildings and market stalls. It’s not just a great place to bag bargains though, it’s a UNESCO World Heritage site too so you can combine your sightseeing with your souvenir shopping!

Once you’ve exhausted yourself getting through the medina, you might well want to relax on the beach with that cheesy paperback, and holidays to Sousse certainly give you that chance. The water is a beautiful turquoise and is clear and warm, perfect for the kids to splash around in. If you get tired of pretending to read, you could always hire a pedalo or maybe even learn to windsurf.

Cheap holidays to Sousse give you the chance to experience a completely different culture, but one thing is reassuringly similar – the Tunisian love of tea almost rivals that of us Brits! It’s peppermint tea here though, served in a small glass and usually drunk with sugar. It’s a surprisingly good way to cool down on a hot day.
