About Hammamet

Hammamet is a Tunisian beach resort on a gulf of the same name, with a walled medina and kasbah on the sea, white sand and jasmine-scented gardens.

Hammamet sits on the Gulf of Hammamet on the east coast of Tunisia, at the base of the Cap Bon peninsula. Its walled medina, with whitewashed lanes and a kasbah dating from the fifteenth century, stands right on the sea, and long beaches of fine sand stretch away on both sides. Yasmine Hammamet, a newer resort district with a marina, lies to the south.
