Sousse Walking Tour
Sousse, Tunisia
Why Walk Sousse
Sousse is one of Tunisia's most historic cities, founded by Phoenicians and later shaped by Romans, Arabs, and the French. Its medina, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is one of the best-preserved in North Africa, ringed by walls and anchored by the Ribat — a 9th-century fortified monastery that served as both a spiritual retreat and a coastal defense. The city sits on the Gulf of Hammamet, and the old port still has working fishing boats.
