Port EL Kantaui,Sousse - Tunisia

Port El Kantaoui is a tourist complex 10 kilometres north of Sousse in central Tunisia. It was built in 1979 specifically as a tourist centre,[1] around a large artificial harbor which provides mooring with 340 berths for luxury yachts, hosting sporting activities from water skiing to paragliding, and several golf courses. The 36-hole PGA approved championship course makes Port El Kantaoui a popular destination for golfing.

The architecture, although modern and dazzlingly white, has been modelled on the more traditional buildings in Tunisia, complete with narrow streets and arches. The hotels that line the beachfront extend from Sousse itself along miles of sparkling clean sea to the harbour of Port El Kantaoui and to the north of the harbour.

In style, the port area Port El Kantaoui is designed as a white and blue Tunisian style village with reproduced medina and cobblestone streets. It is popular with package holiday visitors, families and first time visitors, however its extensive landscaping and detachment from the true Tunisia brings critics; most notably the Rough Guide has described Port El Kantaoui as Tunisia without tears ... artificial, soulless, even anaemic.[2]

Sousse (Arabic: سوسة Sūsa‎, Berber: Susa) is a city in Tunisia. Located 140 km south of the capital Tunis, the city has 173,047 inhabitants (2004). Sousse is in the central-east of the country, on the Gulf of Hammamet, which is a part of the Mediterranean Sea. The name may be of Berber origin: similar names are found in Libya and in the south of Morocco (Bilād al-Sūs). The city is the capital of Sousse Governorate with 540,000 inhabitants (2005 estimate). Its economy is based on transport equipment, processed food, olive oil, textiles and tourism. It is home to the Université de Sousse.

Sousse is an important tourist resort. Hotel complexes with a capacity of 40,000 beds extend 20 km from the old city (Medina) north along the seafront to Port El Kantaoui.

It is only 20 km from the international airport of Monastir. The fine sandy beaches are backed by orchards and olive groves. It has a Mediterranean climate, with hot, dry summers and warm, mild wet winters. The seaside location moderates the climate, making it an all-season resort.

Some 1,200,000 visitors come every year to enjoy its hotels and restaurants, nightclubs, casinos, beaches and sports facilities.

A Medina, surrounded by its city walls and fortifications, is of historical interest. The Medina includes open and covered bazaars (souks). Buildings of historical interest include the ribat castle, the central mosque, and a historical museum in the Casbah with mosaics from the area's many Roman villas. The Carthaginian catacombs can be visited.

Un patrimoine culturel somptueux
De ses 3000 ans d'histoire, Sousse conserve aujourd'hui des témoignages d'une rare splendeur. Pour le visiteur féru d'antiquité, son musée archéologique (le 2e du pays après celui du Bardo) offre un ensemble édifiant de vestiges de l'ancienne Hadrumète. Il doit surtout sa renommée à la magnifique collection de mosaïques romaines des quatre premiers siècles de notre ère. Les galeries souterraines des Catacombes, nécropole chrétienne des premiers siècles, sont l'autre site archéologique antique incontournable.

La Medina Eternelle
Entièrement inscrite à l'intérieur de son imposante enceinte médiévale, la vieille cité, bâtie à flanc de colline, s'étage en un vaste amphithéâtre face à la mer. Cette position privilégiée lui a conféré, depuis toujours, son cachet particulier si admirable, et qui a envoûté tant d'artistes voyageurs. Avec ses 31 hectares et ses 7000 habitants, cette médina n'est aujourd'hui qu'un immense quartier d'une agglomération tentaculaire 150 fois plus vaste. Elle en reste néanmoins le centre géographique, historique et névralgique, et lui donne cet indispensable supplément d'âme dont elle a plus que jamais besoin. Ce site, entièrement revêtu de la majesté des siècles, se dévoile en effet au visiteur comme une inépuisable source d'émotion, d'enchantement et de nostalgie. Sousse s'enorgueillit à juste titre d'abriter, à l'intérieur de sa ceinture de remparts, un ensemble homogène de vestiges d'une exceptionnelle richesse. Chance inouïe: ses monuments les plus emblématiques, tels le Ribat, la Grande Mosquée, la Casbah avec sa tour surplombant tout le site, l'impressionnante enceinte de murailles qui court sur plus de 2Km, la Kobba et la citerne de la Sofra, nous sont parvenus dans un état de conservation remarquable. Hérités de l'âge d'or de l'Islam (du 9e au 11e siècle), ces superbes monuments qui figurent parmi les plus beaux fleurons architecturaux du monde arabo-musulman, font de la vieille cité un authentique musée à ciel ouvert. En sauvegardant son patrimoine culturel, son identité et un certain art de vivre ancestral, la vénérable médina de Sousse s'impose indubitablement comme le lieu de mémoire par excellence, dépositaire d'un legs historique inestimable.

Tunisia the place to be in now

the city of Sousse conceals a sumptuous cultural heritage

From its 3000 years of history '
Sousse today retains testimonies of a rare splendor. For the visitor keen on antiquity, his archaeological museum (the second in the country after that of the Bardo) offers an edifying set of vestiges of the ancient Hadrumet. It owes above all its fame to the magnificent collection of Roman mosaics from the first four centuries of our era.
The underground galleries of the Catacombs, the Christian necropolis of the first centuries, are the other ancient archaeological site impossible to circumvent.
