Sousse Holidays

Taking holidays to Sousse

Sousse lies on the east coast of Tunisia, two hours drive from the capital of Tunis. Called the “Pearl of the Sahel”, Sousse benefits from a year-round mild climate, calm seas and beautiful beaches, making it a leading choice for last minute breaks in Tunisia. 
Sousse has centuries of history behind its ancient walls. The city has been occupied by the Phoenicians, Romans and Byzantine Empire – all of whom have left their mark here. People book last minute breaks here time and again – there is always something new to discover.

Family holidays in Sousse

The old and new parts of Sousse have blended effortlessly together, making this resort popular with both Tunisian and European families. For those taking family breaks, there is something for everyone.
Most families book all inclusive holidays in the hotels and complexes that line the beachfront as far as the chic resort of Port El Kantaoui. Alternatively, last minute breaks can be booked in self-catering apartments, dining at the restaurants and buying local produce from the medina.

Things to do on Sousse family holidays

The mild climate and laid-back atmosphere makes this one of the top Tunisian resorts for beach-focussed family holidays. Parents can relax on the golden beaches while the youngsters build sandcastles, or paddle in the shallows. Older kids and teens can take advantage of the numerous water sports on offer. Along this coast you can go water skiing, snorkelling, scuba diving and much more. Inland there is camel trekking and horse riding.
Away from the modern resort hotels and beaches, visitors can walk the ancient walls of the ribat, (town fortress), explore the museums and monuments, or wander the stalls of the oldest bazaar in Tunisia.  
The coastline is a continuous stretch of spotless, sandy beaches and crystal clear water as far as the Port El Kantaoui. This “ancient” resort is actually purpose built, with a chic modern marina and bustling promenade. Keen golfers will find an international 18 hole golf course, while sailing enthusiasts can enjoy the sight of multi-million pound yachts bobbing in the harbour.
