Hammamet Travel Guide

In the modern shopping area of town you will find chic boutiques, good restaurants, cafes and bars. Nightlife is pretty good in Hammamet as is the famous wide sandy beach. Getting about town couldn't be easier, either by taxi or on the Noddy train, both inexpensive.

The 'sights' of the town include the Medina with a large mosque , Arab baths (Hammams) and many artisans working pottery. Hammamet is the most significant center of pottery in Tunisia, this art is transmitted between the generation of wire father, as well as fhe Golf of Hammamet, represented by long ranges with fine sand, a modern succession of hotels.
