Sousse is considered the third largest city in Tunisia, located about 140 km south of Tunis. It is a beautiful coastal city that can be reached by bus from Tunis. The city is very picturesque and is often referred to as the 'Pearl of the Sahel.' Its old town is registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Entering the Medina, the streets continue along a gentle slope. The contrast between the white walls and blue doors is simply stunning. You can stop by a café or peek into the shops. Just walking around the city is a delightful experience.

If you’re craving a taste of Mexico while in Tunisia, this delightful restaurant offers an unexpected culinary journey. The colorful setting immediately catches your eye, with vibrant decor that perfectly complements the rich flavors of the dishes. I ordered a mixed platter that was not only visually appealing but packed with satisfying flavors. The assortment included crispy rolled tortillas stuffed with tender fillings, delicious quesadillas, and golden fries to complement the meal. The quesadillas were grilled to perfection, with just the right balance of crispness and soft, cheesy goodness inside. The sauces, particularly the tangy dip, provided a flavorful punch that enhanced every bite. What stood out to me was the fusion of Mexican and local Tunisian elements. While the dish stayed true to traditional Mexican ingredients and presentation, there was a noticeable nod to local flavors, making it unique and distinct from typical Mexican cuisine. Service was attentive and quick, adding to the overall pleasant dining experience. Whether you’re a tourist missing home or a foodie exploring international cuisines, this restaurant delivers a genuine slice of Mexico with a Tunisian twist. It’s an ideal spot for both casual meals and festive group dinners, providing an authentic yet distinct taste that leaves you craving more. Make sure to stop by and indulge in the refreshing and flavorful Mexican dishes—it’s a treat your taste buds won’t forget!

my Tunisa time

From Cafe Paris to Hotel Paris Perched on a stool I’d made a happy discovery upon taking a sideways turn and taking up offer of cous cous for dinner. A drinking den, except in Ramadan. Packed with men, deep in debate, I didn’t expect to stay long but a few beers later the conversation lead to closing time. My bag of ice kindly offered by the woman running the bar and whom made me feel looked out for, had melted but I’d learnt more about this place in a couple hours than I had all week. There’s always a Cafe Paris in these countries cities and towns. The iconic era’s imagery on the walls , that poster, it feels like gone back in time prohibiting era for women anyway! I was unnoticed and grateful for that respect. A quick walk back, Hotel Paris is perched just inside the perimeter of the thick fortress walled old town. Serene simplicity and with rooms surrounding a courtyard this place is worth staying at for the rooftop alone. See the stars catch the breeze, submerge in the sounds tempting you outside. Dawn or dusk up on the roof makes this an oasis casting a magical light over the city walks and bathed in golden hour colours it was the best way to go and want to come back for more. After the bizarre hotel compound heading for the bazar of the Medina was a good move. And right next to the train station back to the airport. Perfect. #medinahotel #tunisia #hotel #oldcity #medinaroom #cityview #bargainhunting #simplicity

Found a new favourite activity - quad bikes. Driving dirt tracks on a 4 wheeler is truckloads of fun. I absolutely loved it, addicted even. Took to it like a duck to water. must be the lack of cars on the roads. Well building sites. only issue was not being allowed to overtake and go faster. Highly recommend for thrills - deffo doing that again.

a lovely place to visit at sousse

After going to Rome several times, I have been full of yearning for the aerial shooting of the Colosseum. However, the Italian air traffic control is still relatively strict, especially in Rome, it is even more impossible to fly, but once people move their minds, it is very difficult to sneak away. Sitting in the emergency exit position like a plane, the flight attendant repeatedly warns you not to touch the door of the emergency exit, but sometimes you can't help it, you want to touch it, the self-made power arrives safely, and the airport police station with poor self-control is waiting for you. . In fact, if you don't fly the drone, I think the Colosseum ground is more difficult to shoot, or it may be because I arrived at noon, the light is not very good, and I don't have a long skirt. The sister is accompanying, I think it is more suitable for the girl, or when the sunrise is in the evening, I dont know if it will light up at night, because there is nothing else in this place except the Colosseum, I will not stay until the evening. So if someone takes a night view of the Colosseum, let me see it.

When I came to Sousse, the first attraction was the port of El Kanta Uyi ~ noon, the lake reflected the boats moored in the port, the white clouds in the sky fluttering, it is really beautiful~

In Sousse, there is also a large mosque, which is in the heart of the city, but surprisingly quiet, not as famous as the mosque in Kairouan. This mosque is simple and simple in style, with no decoration except for the Arabic-style door corners and the curved arches. Even the prayer room is placed on a reed mat instead of the usual carpet. Speaking of the advantages of this mosque, it is probably that it allows visitors to climb the top overlooking the entire city of Sousse. Although the narrow spiral staircase is really letting us go panting and dizzy haha~

The El Jem Colosseum has a long history and was built in the early 3rd century. It is a famous splendid building left by the Roman Empire in Africa. Many famous French writers such as Maupassant and Flaubert have made a special trip to this tour and described it as the world's wonderful colosseum and the symbol and symbol of the Roman Empire in Africa. From 146 BC to 439 AD, Rome ruled Tunisia for nearly 600 years and brought European civilization to Tunisia. The temples, arenas, and amphitheatre built by the Romans are scattered all over the place. Among them is the El Jem Colosseum, one of the three major Colosseums in the world; it has a height of 36 meters, 500 doors, and a theater for up to 40,000 people... Roman architecture, sculpture, The superb and exquisite art of mosaic is awesome.

For centuries, the El Jem Colosseum in Tunisia has conquered all visitors, like the pyramids of Egypt, with its majestic magnificence, grandeur, scientific layout, and perfect harmony. I want to quietly make a circle of friends, pretending to be haha in Italy, if you don't say it, you can probably fake the true Colosseum in Rome~ El Jem Colosseum has a long history, built in AD Early 3rd century.

Have you seen the Colosseum fade away from the army of tourists and return to its original appearance?
