Hammamet Beach for August

Just over 90 kilometres to the south lies the resort town of Sousse. Sousse is home to one of the most popular beaches in Tunisia, Boujaffar Beach. This stretch of beautiful soft sand is much longer than many other beaches in Tunisia, so there is ample room for tourists and locals alike, which is good because it does draw in the crowds during the hot summer months.

Chez Achour is frequented by tourists and locals alike so making reservations will be near mandatory. This restaurant is often regarded as one of the best French restaurants in the city.

The Shakespeare serves a range of beers and spirits, so your favourite tipple should be covered. If there is a football match or another significant sporting event, you can count on Shakespeare to be showing it, so you won't miss that all-important game.

NOTE While Hammamet is a resort town that caters to tourists, it is still important to remember that modesty and traditional values are prevalent among locals. If going out at night, erring on the side of modesty in terms of what you're wearing is recommended. Hammamet is by no means dangerous for tourists but use your common sense and stay safe.

Many people think of ancient Carthage when they think of Tunisia but overlook the period after Carthage fell and was re-established and governed by Rome. The Pupput ruins are not well kept like many of the Roman ruins in Europe but it is one of the few left in Africa. The Roman gift of engineering can still be seen in Pupput with the culverts and drainage channels that diverted water in and out of the settlement, creating a once healthy living environment. There are also tiled mosaics throughout the ruins but they are not regularly maintained. If you appreciate ancient artwork, it would be advised to see these beautiful mosaics while they are still intact.
