  • Food and Drink in Hammamet

    It would only be right to get stuck into some tasty Tunisian cuisine whilst you’re here. This country’s cuisine takes its influences from many, with flavours flowing from Middle Eastern, Mediterranean and Arabic styles of cooking. A melting pot of influences only makes for a simply unique style of cuisine with an interesting variety of flavours. Fragrant spices are hugely popular in these regions, so you’ll find many seasoned meats with flavours like cumin, coriander and saffron regularly on restaurant menus around town. These dishes are commonly accompanied by fluffy couscous and a spicy side of harissa hot paste. This fiery, garlic infused condiment is enough to tickle the taste buds that’s for sure. Seafood dishes are also popular by the shores! Freshly caught fish is often served in a simmering stew seasoned the traditional Tunisian way. Or, for a more refreshing lunch you can opt for a salad, this nation holds its salads highly in terms of cuisine. Lightly dressed and served with warm, fresh breads, it’s the perfect lunch for those sunny days spent soaking up the sun.

    If you simply can’t resist a sweet treat, you’re in safe hands here. There are plenty of Middle Eastern-style desserts to sink your teeth into. Pastry treats are super popular here and normally contain generous helpings of honey with finely chopped nuts.

  • Visiting Hammamet

    A great way to spend the day is with a visit to the charming streets of Tunis, the country’s stunning little capital city. Here you can discover quaint cafes, tucked away bars and off the beaten path restaurants. Find a spot and enjoy a shisha whilst you watch the world go by and discover a true taste of Tunisian culture. If you’re a history buff, we recommend heading to the El-Jem Colleseu. Take a trip back through time and admire the stunning architecture that once held over 35,000 people here! This fascinating site will leave you in awe, so be sure to bring your camera. Seeking some action from your Tunisian escape? Adrenaline junkies should be sure to hit up the desert sands for a dune buggy experience. Cruise across the golden sands at high speeds as you buckle up for a thrilling ride. If you prefer to take it slow, why not try out a camel ride instead?

    The centre of this bustling resort is packed with plenty of bars and restaurants that overlook the towns fascinating ancient ruins. As the sun sets low in the sky and the beautiful pinks and purples of the desert sunset paint the canvas above, it makes the perfect setting for a romantic evening. Enjoy the marvellously mild evening temperatures with a cocktail (or two) at one of the open-air terraced bars that line these towns’ walls.

  • Useful info for visiting Hammamet

    Flights to Hammamet take three hours from London Gatwick and Tunisia clocks in one hour ahead of our UK time. The official language used here is Arabic, but most hotels and restaurants in the popular beach resorts do speak English. You’ll also need to make sure you pick up some Tunisian dinar to spend whilst you’re here. Another thing to keep in mind is that during the Islamic holy month of Ramadan many cafes and restaurants will close during the day, restrictions on alcohol sales may be in place, and hotel dining for non-Muslim guests may take place in private rooms. Playing music, dancing, and eating in public areas may also be restricted during this time.
