            Este un ora?el cu magazine, terase, dar in afara de port ?i Medina( pre?uri ieftine ?i negociabile) nu ai ce sa vezi, doar plimbare ?i atat. La hotel se organizeaza Excursii in care mergi cu camila, foarte frumoase. Ghidul pe care l-am avut, slabu?.

            Sousse este mizerabil in afara resortului si miroase urat in general pe strazi. Preturi acceptabile pentru terase la mancare si bautura.
