Prepare to negotiate in the markets and stores of these appealing beach towns. Compare the peaceful village roads in Hergla with the lively medina in Sousse. Traditional Tunisian crafts you’ll encounter include vibrant Kairouan rugs, hand-stitched fabrics, copper light fixtures, leather footwear and olive wood items.
Our excursion will commence with a leisurely walk around the sparkling white village of Hergla, perched atop the seaside cliffs. This enchanting location’s blue windows and doors mirror the ocean below. Explore the narrow streets to witness the ancient mosque and observe the weaving of baskets. Perhaps you’ll see the fishing vessels returning to port with their haul.
Rich in traditional Tunisian charm, the bustling backstreets of Sousse medina teem with life. Besides the principal market at Bab Jadid, also check out Bab il Gharbi, an excellent zone for shopping, observing local artisans, sampling street cuisine, or pausing at a café.
