Discover the vibrant coastal city of Sousse, Tunisia where history meets modernity. Find out the best places to visit and things to do in Sousse.
In this video, we take you on a journey to the coastal city of Sousse, located in the beautiful country of Tunisia. Our adventure begins with a 300 km bus ride from the capital city of Tunis to Sousse, where we check into a hotel located in the beach area. From there, we embark on a guided tour of the city, exploring its rich history and culture.
Our first stop is the iconic Ribat of Sousse, a large, fortressed religious complex built in the 8th century as a defensive structure against the Byzantine Empire. We explore the complex, which includes museums, training halls, and prayer rooms, and admire the intricate tilework and carvings that decorate the walls and ceilings.
We then venture into the bustling medina, a vibrant part of the city filled with shops, markets, and local restaurants. We try the traditional Tunisian dish, Chakchouka, at a local restaurant and visit the Great Mosque, which dates back to the 9th century. Next, we head to the Sousse Archaeological Museum, housed in an old palace that has been beautifully restored and renovated to showcase Tunisia's rich cultural heritage.
We end our adventure on a rooftop, where we take in a breathtaking panoramic view of Sousse and its surrounding areas. From there, we reflect on the contrast between the old and new, the traditional and the modern, that is so evident in this beautiful city.
