Sousse is located on the eastern coast of Tunisia and has become one of the most favored tourist destinations because of the varied attractions the city has to offer. The city of Sousse was founded in the 9th century by the Phoenicians. It is the third largest city in Tunisia and enjoys a mild climate and therefore it is the perfect place for relaxing and enjoying holidays. The place has stunning beach, beautiful medina and restaurants where you can enjoy variety of fish dishes. Also known as “the pearl of the Sahel,” this land has charmed Phoenicians, Romans, Byzantines and Arabs who came and settled in this beautiful fertile city.
Thus, Sousse is very much influenced by the culture and tradition of these ancient civilizations. The city has numerous monuments and museums which are open and easily accessible. The Medina is also very popular among tourists, which are accompanied by shops selling silver jewellery, woolen blankets, copper and carpets. The Sousse town is very modern offering high standard of living and the area close to the medina has buildings belonging to French colonial period. The old town of Sousse has many buildings which are an perfect example of Arab architecture and also has an amusing Archaeological Museum. The camel market which is held every Sunday near to Catacombs is also worth visiting.
The history of the city is also very fascinating. Settled by the Phoenicians in the 9th century BC, the town became a major trading port. In the second Punic war it was the base of Hannibal. It was conquered by the Roman, and later came under the rule of several civilizations. Under the reign of Aghlabids, the town was renovated under the name of Susa which served as a port. During this period, the town saw the establishment of the Ribat, the Great Mosque, the Kasbah and town walls.
