Located on the coast, Sousse is home to many tourist resorts and fine sandy beaches. As one of the older cities in Tunisia it also features an authentic medina of great historical interest.

Mdina is an ancient city inhabited and possibly first fortified by the Phoenicians around 700 BC. Higher fortifications were added by Malta’s Arab rulers and Norman rulers. After the Knights Hospitaller arrived in the mid 1500’s the importance of Mdina as the seat of power faded steadily.
