Sousse Medina
The Sousse Medina begs to be explored, hidden behind the towering defenses of the Ribat and Kasbah.
This charming old town quarter is a maze of winding streets surrounded by whitewashed buildings, as well as a shopping heaven with a tantalizing array of pottery, leatherwork, and metalwork on exhibit.
The peaceful and meandering back lanes, coated in white and blue, are a beautiful area to dig in and enjoy local life away from the booths along the bustling souk streets.
Sousse's medina (old town) quarter is the city's principal tourist attraction away from the beach. Its original character has been meticulously conserved, and it has been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site as one of Tunisia's finest remaining examples of medina architecture.
