The experience

The tour starts with pickup from your hotel in Tunis or Hammamet and heads straight to Nabeul, a city where earthenware tiles cover building facades and decorate public spaces. You'll walk through traditional pottery workshops where artisans make painted plates and earthenware by hand, then visit studios where green rush mats are woven. A craft that has shaped the city's identity for generations. A giant decorated pot anchors the city center, impossible to miss.

From Nabeul, the route moves to Hammamet's medina, where you climb the Ribat, a 16th-century fort expanded by the Turks, and stand at the top with views across the Mediterranean. You'll also see the villa of Georges Sébastien, built in the 1920s in Arab-Andalusian style and set in a park with rare trees and an orchard facing the sea. After the medina walk, you have free time for lunch in Yasmine Hammamet, where your guide can suggest spots. Afterward, a leisurely stroll around Hammamet's port rounds out the afternoon.
