Mahdia

The city of Mahdia, which was the first capital of the Fatimid caliphs in the 10th century, is built on a rock face on a peninsula. Its allure stems from its sapphire-colored crystalline sea, magnificent fine sandy beaches, Medina, and the animation of a small traditional town, town of fishermen and silk weavers. The Mediterranean Sea gently rocks the ships of Mahdia's port, while the residents relax on the beach in the sun's rays. Every year, tourists flock to the long stretch of golden sand to unwind in one of the many luxurious hotels.

Mahdia is now primarily a tourist destination. Its hotels and the beauty of its coast attract many tourists seeking peace and the opportunity to visit vestiges dating from Roman times until the arrival of the Arabs. Mahdia has the distinct charm of a maritime town. Its fishing port, one of the most important in Tunisia, specializes in fishing by the light of lumparos, which create a fascinating spectacle on summer evenings when trawlers depart, illuminating the sea and the port of Mahdia with a thousand candles. Scuba diving enthusiasts will be enthusiastic about the funds of Mahdia, while dreaming of the famous archaeological wreck once explored by Commander Cousteau.
