International Festival of Sousse

The International Festival of Sousse serves to add even more to the mix. Recently, Tunisian musicians and artists dominated the line up at the festival, and performers from neighbouring countries as well as Romania, Italy, Belgium, Syria and Lebanon brought their artistic stylings into the mix, while Russia sent over its prized Symphonic Orchestra.

Music isn’t the only focus of the festival though, with screenings of feature films and animations also happening all across the city. Don’t let the troubling news from the Middle East and North Africa dissuade you from visiting Tunisia. This dynamic country's ability to get back on its feet is an inspiring success story.

Tunisia is back open for business, and there’s no better place to get a taster for one of the African continent’s most accessible countries than at the International Festival of Sousse, with its world-class lineup taking place in the height of summer and is one of the most famous festivals in Tunisia.

• Location: Sousse, Tunisia
