Coast North of Sousse

Today we are exploring some coastal tourist sites north of Sousse. We begin with the very tourist-friendly Port El Kantaoui, complete with golf course and modern marina. We then drive north 10km to reach Sebkhet Halk el Manzel, an amazing salt lake that is home to a large flock of Greater Flamingo. This is designated as a Ramsar Site, because it is a Wetland of International Importance. We then drive another 10km north to Plage El Madfoun, a beautiful sandy beach on the north side of the quaint seaside town of Hergla (which has loads of great eating options!) From Hergla, we head 30km north to the archaeological site of Uppenna, where we find a Byzantine fortress and also a basilica with mosaics and Latin inscriptions. We finish the exploration driving 20km northwest to Takrouna, for a rather sad update on the situation at the popular Amazigh Café Le Rocher Bleu.

I'm afraid not. However I will be back in Tunis this summer to launch my new Bradt Travel Guide to Tunisia. I will be sure to share my schedule of talks and live events on this platform once it is finalised.
