| Like many places in Tunisia Hammamet changed hands several times, of interest was the 1602 takeover by the Knights of Malta who disguised themselves as Muslims and playing Arabic music were welcomed to the town with open arms only to ransack the place. Now one of the most popular destinations in Tunisia. |
|
Nabeul Near to Hammamet and worth a day trip, located 2km inland and known for its pottery, also the souk (market) is crowded with local handicrafts, but remember to haggle and look out for suspect quality.
Kasbah of Hammamet The 15th century citadel with its high walls and Roman ruins is a worthwhile diversion.
Medina Located inside the castle, this is a place of narrow roads, little shops and interesting Arabic Architecture. Its a tourist trap so try to go early or late. Offering mainly kitsch there is not much to buy and you will get hassled. The houses have some zany doors so go see. |

Berber Fish Restaurant Opposite the medina, situated on the third floor of a building. Delicious fresh seafood served in abundance in a friendly, warm atmosphere. You will find a cafe and a tavern in the same place.
Cafe Sidi Bou hidid A coffee house in the same area, just relax in here with some strong coffee or tea and local sweetmeats, and maybe have a quick drag on the water pipe Its not addictive)
Neptune Restaurant Lovely views from here and a perfect place for a romantic meal, its at the harbour floating on a Spanish type galleon. Watch the twinkling lights of the town while you choose from the mainly fish dishes on the menu.

| Shakespeare - by Yaz from United Kingdom - 2008-05-28 | | We recently spent two weeks in Hammamet at the Caribbean world hotel. We were all inclusive but you know us English we like our own food so our luck was in when we found a great English bar called Shakespeare. It's a lovely place where you get good food good service and happy hours all the day. We generally popped down for lunch every day to Shakespeare and then spent a couple of hours at night at least there we got proper pint glasses. The owner is an English lady called dawn, they have a camera system in operation 24 hours a day where you can watch the bar and kitchen from anywhere in the world. |

| Good holiday but.....! - by Shelly from United Kingdom - 2008-05-20 | | We recently holidayed in Hammamet Tunisia and were staying in the Hotel Bel Air. There are nice bars in the area, like the British Bar opposite our hotel, but I must warn you that if you go over there be prepared to be accosted by a Tunisian boy who is renting mopeds in the street outside the hotel. He pestered us so much that we gave up going out of our hotel and stayed in our room all the time. We were not surprised when a lady in the hotel told us how he literally dragged her into an empty shop and proceeded to do her a henna tattoo she said she didnt want it but of course he told her it was free 5 mins later he asked her for 100 dt and would not let her go until she paid him. The same tattoo in the hotel costs 15dt. What a rip off. Be prepared for him to run behind you in the street and try to drag you to make you rent one of his mopeds or have a tattoo. He is small very dark skinned about 22 years old with long hair. Please be careful of this man. |
