Monastir which has its French name as “monastère” or “monastry” is located 165 km south-east of the capital city, Tunis. Monastir is a complete blend of traditional as well as modern features. It lies towards the south end of the Gulf of Hammamet. Monastir is a small fishing harbour and in the town you have the opportunity tom explore the small- walled Medina and the old Ribat. Monastir is famous as it was the birth-place of ex-President Bourguiba. The most dominating feature of the town is the family mausoleum of the President Bourguiba which has green and gold colored domes adorned with gilt-tipped minaret. The place has witnessed major development all through these years and has grown up into one of the most popular sea-side resorts in Tunisia. Most of the tourists also add in their tour a visit to Skanes which is 6 miles away from the town centre of Monastir where you can rewind yourself.

The city was established by the Phoenicians as a trading station under the name Rous Penna and under the Romans it was called Ruspina. Caesar made Monastir his headquarters by surrounding it with triple ring of walls during the civil war with Pompey. When it came under the rule of Arabs in the 8th century, Monastir was fortified by a chain of monasteries. On realizing the strategic importance of the position of Monastir, the Arabs constructed the Ribat. It also played a role of being the holiest Islamic town in Tunisia. During the Turkish era, the Ribat again regained its military importance. But in the French period, its role was just limited as a fishing and market town. Monastir has recently revived over the last 20 years just because of the mass tourism.
