Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    I visited the museum on my trip to Sousse. The facility is very easy to access and navigate through. Offers a nice collection of mosaics.

    The Medina itsef looks magical, narrow streets, medieval look but the charm of it is taken away by annoying vendors trying to get sell you their merchandise, although I did found few very friendly and chatty most of them just wants your money any way possible, they initial prices quickly rise and after we eventually haggeled the price we have been given wrong item which we discovered in our hotel, beware of henna Lady, the scam artist, she or help pal will lure you with promise of 10 Dinars for a tattoo on one hand than chat yo in to do both hands and 10 Dinars changing into 10 Euro and not for one hand but one motive, she demanded 160 Dinars at the end which was not worth it as it was wery poor quality and washed off 3 days latter... Stay away from her...

    The Aghlabids built a lot of ribats on the North African coast in the 8th and 9th centuries : this chain of fortifications reinforced their new strongholds. From their towers they kept watch and communicated any imminent danger. You can climb this watchtower, from where there are excellent views over Sousse's medina and down into the mosque.
    Like the one in Monastir - which it resembles - the ribat in Sousse is in very good condition. Most interestingly, we were told that some of the marble and pillars (eg the two in the entrance) were pilfered from Byzantine churches after the Aghlabids conquered Malta.

    It’s an astonishing house with friendly staff and cheap entrance. You can enter a tower and enjoy the view of the city center. Highly recommend!

    The Aghlabids, vassals of the Abbasid Califate, had already built the ribat next-doors with the oldest mosque late 8th century. But as the town grew, they needed a larger space to pray, so the Grand Mosque was built. Whilst it shares a floorplan with the one in Kairouan, and resembles it, the Sousse mosque looks more like the ribat with its crenellated walls.
    Inside, non-Muslims are allowed in the large courtyard from where you can look into the prayer hall with minbar and mihrab, but cannot enter. There are some plaques with explanations in different languages.

    Fun, if it wasn't low season and wet and cold. Still, some people didn't let the weather stop them enjoying themselves.
    It does have rides for all ages and when I was here previously, it had a great atmosphere!

    Nothing special. Certainly not worth a special trip. Cheshire Oaks or Trafford Centre much better for variety of shops and prices. If you do go its a lot cheaper to get there from monastic by train and taxi than by taxi all the way.

    At Medinat Alzahra Parc it is a setup that will bring you close to the Tunisian culture and give you a deeper understanding of what is Tunisia all about.
    So prepare for the following :
    - pending on where you are stationed near Sousse you will have a bus trip of about 30 -40 minutes (even more pending on distance and traffic to Medinat ....).
    - upon arrival you will go through a souvenir shop - that will be open upon your departure.
    - you get out into a big courtyard where you will encounter the Tunisian country life - with camels, goats and sheep, homemade flatbread with harissa and olive oil. Great perspective for those who are interested in this kind of cultural immersion.
    - after you pass this area you get near a stage - there you will have a short - 20-30 minutes show of singing, dancing - dancing with some heavy potery held in equilibrium on their heads, horse riding with some acrobatics.
    - after this you get into the restaurant area - there the food will be served - Brik a starter with some salad - I was enjoying that. After you get some Couscous soup - spicy and fresh (is not all that you can eat so the portions might not be equally satisfying.), than couscous with chicken and sheep sausages - overall decent food - not the best not the worst.
    During your dinner there will be a show on the stage of the restaurant that is sort of a reproduction of a Tunisian wedding - still I doubt that is genuine, let's say is a reinterpretation of the wedding - the show ain't bad that's for sure and it is for the length of your dinner.
    - the theatrical show - it is advertised as a laser show - it a is a lighting and theater show -with some lasers at certain points - still it is a very good show and the show is telling you the story of Tunisia from the ancient ages to the modern days.
    Tell you how 6 nations have shaped the history of Magreb and Tunisia: berber, punic, roman, arabic, turk and french. All this cultural merging gave birth to the Tunisia we know today. You will have the story from the fall of mighty Carthage till the modern days. Lovely show and very interesting - and since you are sitting outside in an amphitheater guess what - you can smoke a cigarette if you want- and the great thing - the show is in 4 languages so everybody can understand what the story is telling. I really enjoyed it.
    To sum it all up it was a great closure to our tunisian experience - I recommend you see it for yourself.
