When to go to Sousse?
Sousse's medina still works as a medina, its walls enclosing the souks, the austere Great Mosque and the Ribat, whose watchtower gives the best view over the rooftops and out to sea. Roman mosaics fill the archaeological museum up in the kasbah. North of town, Port El Kantaoui adds a marina, golf and a long stretch of beach.
