The staff are very friendly and professional. Sousse is a big city and you will find that there is always a mosque within a few minutes walking distance. You are also close to the heart of Sousse where most of the shopping and nightlife takes place. Sousse is one of the older cities in Tunisia, and possesses an authentic medina, which was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1988. 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, orginally used to watch the stars fror the onset of Ramadan, from which views over Sousse can be gained. PORT EL KANTAOUI http://www.portelkantaoui.com.tn/english... is a tourist complex 10 kilometers north of 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 paragliding. The 36-hole PGA approved championship course makes Port El Kantaoui a popular destination for golfing. http://www.kantaouigolfcourse.com.tn/... The architecture, although modern and dazzlingly white, has been modelled on the more traditional buildings in Tunisia, complete with narrow streets and arches. The hotels that line the beachfront extend from Sousse itself along miles of sparkling clean sea to Port El Kantaoui. There is a new water park called Aqua Palace where there are many different types of water rides and fun things to enjoy. http://acquapalace.com/ 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 park 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 restaurant, discos, caf茅s, and plenty of shopping! The coast has good beaches and a clear turquoise sea - perfect for swimming. 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.

Hi Yas.... Good morning dear friends, My answer is yes a stayed a couple of time not only the Marhaba Palace but in other hotels which belong to same chain. This hotel is considered among the best of the chain, also in Port El Kantaoui resort. It's a first class, or high standard hotel, I wont tell you the number of stars may be it doesn't mean anything for you,especially at this moment the Tunisian Tourist Board after several discussions and meetings with the Tunisian Federation of the Tunisians hotel owner came to an agreement to a new classification fitting with international standard.So many hotels know are up dating their norms to get this new marketing label. Sorry, I have nothing to add to respond to the other questions i thing that you'll have more than enough, thanks to our friend J.Hassen, who' as usual ready to give her prompt recorded answers with the appropriate web sites links. Just to feel more comfortable i can assure you, it's a good choice, and you every you'll need in a walking distance in Port el kantaoui resort. Have a nice holiday,enjoy your stay at the Marhaba Palace, and welcome to Tunisia. A travel consultant. I haven't personally stayed there but friends of mine, one of whom is Tunisian, thoroughly recommended it as a place to stay. Happy holidays! |
