The city of Monastir is 20 km south of Sousse
and 162 km south of Tunis, and is a city on the
central shore of Tunisia, in the Sahel area.
Famous for its tourist activities, Monastir is
also well-known by its fishing port, the
marvellous mausoleum of Bourguiba, the splendid
Ribat, and the ruins of the antique city of
Ruspina…
Monastir is a modern tourist destination. The
avenues are wide and monuments are restored very
well. It is a pleasant resort, with magnificent
hotels and a marina. The beaches are joining
those of Skanès.
Tunisia’s weather is very stable; it is 25-35ºC
the whole year round, cooled by the seas.
• Monastir: the Ribat (fortress),
• Monastir: the mausoleum of Habib Bourguiba,
Tunisia’s first President,
• Monastir: many museums like the Monastir
museum or the Lamta museum,
• Sousse: it is less than half an hour’s
drive to Sousse, Tunisia’s third city. The
Medina (city centre) is certainly worth a
visit.
