Hammamet is located roughly halfway
between Sousse and Tunis. Although it's a popular resort, it's
a bit more genuine than some of the other tourist spots on the
coast.
The old town still has some narrow streets where you find small
shops which sell cheap souvenirs (cheap referring to the qualitry,
not necessarily to the price). In the modern shopping area of
town you will find chic boutiques, good restaurants, cafes and
bars. Nightlife is pretty good in Hammamet as is the famous
wide sandy beach. Getting about town couldn't be easier, either
by taxi or on the Noddy train, both inexpensive.
The 'sights' of the town include the Medina
with a large mosque , Arab baths (Hammams) and many artisans
working pottery. Hammamet is the most significant center of
pottery in Tunisia, this art is transmitted between the generation
of wire father, as well as fhe Golf of Hammamet, represented
by long ranges with fine sand, a modern succession of hotels.
