Im going to Sousse, Tunisia in March. Anyone know what the weather is like that time of year? |
Travel Info Also anyone know how far is the resort from Monastir airport. I was told when i booked im better getting a taxi Travel Tips In March the weather will be starting to warm up. Actually, we've had a pretty mild winter so far with not too many rains and temperatures in the high teens(c掳). In March you should expect temperatures in the low to mid 20's (c掳) with few rains here and there. Now, depending on where in Sousse your hotel is, will depend on how far it is from Monastir Airport. Most hotels in Sousse are about a 30-45 minute drive from the Monastir airport. Check with your specific hotel to see if they offer shuttle service. Sousse is one of the older cities in Tunisia, and possesses an authentic medina, which was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1988. Here are some things that might interest you while you are there: GREAT MOSQUE. It is a surprisingly tranquil place despite its location in the middle of the city. Built around 850 AD, the mosque is simple and done in the Aghlabite style; no decoration whatsoever aside from a string of angular Arabic and curved arches. Even the prayer room is covered in reed mats instead of the usual carpet. You must be properly dressed to enter, but green wraps can be rented for a token fee to cover up. MOSAIC MUSEUM. Located in the gently crumbling old kasbah on the edge of the medina. THE TRADITIONAL TUNISIAN HOUSE. This charming little museum is located within the old city walls some 200 yards north of the main bus terminal is the home of a long standing Tunisian family that has now become a museum with the passing of the last family member. The property centers on a open courtyard from which access to all the rooms can be gained, including bedrooms for the first and second wife and, in turn, to the children's rooms. All are delightfully fully furnished, with some curtains dating back 200 years, and with German clocks imported from the 1800's. The house is complete with a tower, originally used to watch the stars from the onset of Ramadan, from which views over Sousse can be gained. PORT EL KANTAOUI is a tourist complex 10 kilometers north od Sousse. it is home to a modern marina equipped for over 300 boats and several golf courses, as well and a full array of other sporting activities from water skiing to para gliding. The 36-hole PGA approved championship course makes Port El Kantaoui a popular destination for golfing. The architecture, although modern and dazzlingly white, has been modeled on the more traditional buildings in Tunisia, complete with narrow streets and arches. The hotels that line the beach front extend from Sousse itself along miles of sparkling clean sea to Port El Kantaoui. HANNIBAL PARK. It's an amusement park that has a famous roller coaster and has many souviner shops. HERGLA KARTING PARK. It is another amusement pak and offers lots of fun. There is one ride on there that is extremely fun, but not for the faint of heart! I've been on it - it takes you high in the air, and turns you every which way, and even stops and let you dangle for a bit. CATACOMBS. Nice to visit if you like history. I do, so I found them very interesting and enjoyed them very much. Sousse also has great nightlife with many restaraunts, discos, caf茅s, and plenty of shopping! The coast has good beaches and a clear turquoise sea - perfect for swimming, although the weather is cold now and that probably won't be advisable. You can also take carriage rides throughout the city which is always a fun way to sight-see! That's just to name a few of the highlights. Once you get to the city yourself I'm sure that you will find many things that fascinate you. Tunisia is a land filled with much culture and history. And keep in mind that what interests one person, may not interest another, so everyone gains a different experience. I live in Monastir, which is just a half hour away from Sousse.
