Gammarth is a famous seaside resort surrounded by dense forest with modern hotels alongside superb sandy beaches. It is near to the ruins of Carthage and the village of Sidi Bou Saïd and is 10 kilometres from Tunis-Carthage international airport and 15 kilometres from the capital Tunis.
Often compared to the French Riviera, the Carthage Coast region features the more sophisticated resorts of Sidi Bou Said, Gammarth and La Marsa witch offer wonderful and charming views of the surrounding.

Sidi Bou Said, situated on a headland overlooking the Mediterranean, is an attractive village of lovely blue and white stepped buildings. Stroll along cobbled streets taking in shops, rest awhile in a typical Moorish café, arched doors and balconies, many adorned with colourful flowers. La Marsa is a chic coastal suburb featuring a promenade lined with French architectural villas, a selection of hotels and classy restaurants. Do visit the curious Saf Saf café, famous for its well and the camel that draws the water using a bucket waterwheel.

The innumerable ruins of Carthage, home to a brilliant civilization, are a major attraction and in the summer you can enjoy concerts in the ancient amphitheatre. A sense of history prevails as you explore archaeological sites embracing the Phoenicians, Carthaginians and Romans. Worth a visit is the National Museum of Carthage which displays statues, mosaics, the remains of villas and other exhibits.
A visit to the Medina - historic centre and UNESCO World Heritage Site - with its winding streets, vaulted passageways and impressive monuments has remained largely unchanged for 500 years is not for missing.
