📍 Destination Overview
Sousse, a resort city on Tunisia's central-eastern Mediterranean coast, was once a major port and remains a sun-and-beach destination. Its UNESCO-listed medina is fully enclosed by formidable medieval walls, where the Ribat and Kasbah towers offer views over the old town and the sea, while golden beaches, hotels and a marina blend history with leisure.
