Things to Do in Sousse & Monastir

Sousse's medina is a UNESCO World Heritage site built for defence, its ribat — a fortified monastery watching the coast for raiders — still climbable for a view over the rooftops and the Great Mosque next door. Port El Kantaoui, a short drive north, is a purpose-built marina resort of whitewashed arcades, while Monastir has its own ribat, a long beach and the Bourguiba family mausoleum. Mahdia, further south, keeps a quieter medina and a Fatimid-era harbour with far fewer crowds. Below are the top-rated tours covering Sousse and Monastir.
