Holidays in Hammamet

Loved by travel fashionistas since the 1920's, holidays in Hammamet attract visitors from around the globe. Now the hottest beach holiday spot in Tunisia, Hammamet has changed greatly from the small fishing village it once was. But look carefully beneath the cosmopolitan atmosphere you'll find local life continuing at its slow pace, with craftsmen making copper pots and fishermen setting out at dawn in brightly painted boats.

Always leave your packing 'till the last minute? Holidays in Hammamet will ease any worries of forgetting those getaway essentials. Amble through the Medina at the heart of this seaside resort. The maze of narrow passageways reveal shops and stalls bursting with handcrafted pots, rugs and jewellery as well as the ubiquitous bags, t-shirts and other tourist trinkets. While the newer quarters of town house more shops and fashionable boutiques packed with everything from traditional tunics and kaftans to suncream and bottled water.

And when it comes to the miles of golden beaches that line Hammamet's coast, it doesn't get much better than a stay at the Riu Park El Kebir. Here you'll discover the warm waters of the Mediterranean. Or, if your idea of a heavenly Hammamet holiday is simply lounging on the sand. Arm yourself with a good read, your sunnies and get ready to soak up the hot African sun.

Whether you're looking for a winter break or a summer holiday, Hammamet is just the ticket for that sun-drenched beach break.
