This hotel is located in the heart of Sousse, and more importantly, in the heart of the shopping district. The hotel itself actually wraps around one the most frequented shopping centers, that goes by the same name, Tej Marhaba. My family frequents this shopping center when we go to Sousse. It has some nice clothing shops and can get very busy on weekends!
I live in Monastir (next to Sousse) and the weather in March is usually like spring in America or Europe. You have warm days mixed with some chilly ones. Average temperatures are between 18-23掳C (64-73掳F) and there may be some rain.
Here's a sight that gives average high, lows, and precipitations for Monastir (didn't have a site for averages for Sousse, but the two cities are minutes from each other): http://weather.yahoo.com/climo/TSXX0015_...
Here's where you can check out current temps for Sousse, and hopefully that will give you a little idea as to what to expect. http://weather.yahoo.com/forecast/TSXX00...
I suggest bringing some long sleeved (not too hot) & short sleeved shirts, some pants, shorts, a bathing suit (at the minimum you can swim in the hotel pool if the Sea is still too cold for your liking), a sweater or a light jacket, and an umbrella.
The nights are chilly due to the humidity which makes the cold go straight to the bone and makes it feel colder than it really is, so I suggest bringing something warm to sleep in at nights.
Sousse is one of the older cities in Tunisia, and possesses an authentic medina, which was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1988.
GREAT MOSQUE. It is a surprisingly tranquil place despite its location in the middle of the city. Built around 850 AD, the mosque is simple and done in the Aghlabite style; no decoration whatsoever aside from a string of angular Arabic and curved arches. Even the prayer room is covered in reed mats instead of the usual carpet. You must be properly dressed to enter, but green wraps can be rented for a token fee to cover up.
MOSAIC MUSEUM. Located in the gently crumbling old kasbah on the edge of the medina.
THE TRADITIONAL TUNISIAN HOUSE. This charming little museum is located within the old city walls some 200 yards north of the main bus terminal is the home of a long standing Tunisian family that has now become a museum with the passing of the last family member. The property centers on a open courtyard from which access to all the rooms can be gained, including bedrooms for the first and second wife and, in turn, to the children's rooms. All are delightfully fully furnished, with some curtains dating back 200 years, and with German clocks imported from the 1800's. The house is complete with a tower, orginally used to watch the stars fror the onset of Ramadan, from which views over Sousse can be gained.
PORT EL KANTAOUI http://www.portelkantaoui.com.tn/english... is a tourist complex 10 kilometers north of Sousse. It is home to a modern marina equipped for over 300 boats and several golf courses, as well and a full array of other sporting activities from water skiing to paragliding. The 36-hole PGA approved championship course makes Port El Kantaoui a popular destination for golfing. http://www.kantaouigolfcourse.com.tn/ The architecture, although modern and dazzlingly white, has been modeled on the more traditional buildings in Tunisia, complete with narrow streets and arches. The hotels that line the beachfront extend from Sousse itself along miles of sparkling clean sea to Port El Kantaoui. There is a new water park called Aqua Palace where there are many different types of water rides and fun things to enjoy.

HANNIBAL PARK. It's an amusement park that has a famous roller coaster and has many souviner shops.
HERGLA KARTING PARK. It is another amusement pak and offers lots of fun. There is one ride on there that is extremely fun, but not for the faint of heart! I've been on it - it takes you high in the air, and turns you every which way, and even stops and let you dangle for a bit.
CATACOMBS. Nice to visit if you like history. I do, so I found them very interesting and enjoyed them very much.
Sousse also has great nightlife with many restaurants, discos, caf茅s, and plenty of shopping! The coast has good beaches and a clear turquoise sea - perfect for swimming, although in March it's still a little too cold for that. You can also take carriage rides throughout the city which is always a fun way to sight-see!
That's just to name a few of the highlights. Once you get to the city yourself I'm sure that you will find many things that fascinate you. Tunisia is a land filled with much culture and history. And keep in mind that what interests one person, may not interest another, so everyone gains a different experience.
If you have any more questions, or need further assistance, please feel free to contact me! no "tej marhabar" is Turkish for " The Dosshouse" I think you will find that Sousse is in Tunisia, not Turkey! Mind you don't get on the wrong plane! The weather can be a bit unpredictable at the beginning of March, but I have had some fantastic weather then in the past. Whatever, it will be A LOT better than in the UK! The hotel's not bad (It's in Tunisia, not Turkey). It's in the centre of Sousse which is nice because it's easily accessible to different things. Early March is not beach weather here. It can be tempermental. It's been an extremely mild winter. Warm enough most days to sit outside in summer clothes. The evenings are quite cold though. I suggest bringing a wide variety of clothes so you can layer. I'd expect the temperature to be around 15 celcius.
Enjoy your trip! Good morning Loo, Hi every body...!
First of all may I welcome you in Tunisia, I 'm sure you'll like the city-resort " Sousse " 3rd largest city in Tunisia,founded by the Phoenicians as a commercial harbour at the 10th cent. B.C,it's from where the famous Carthaginian general Hannibal sailed with elephants during the second Punic war.
As far as the in formations about the hotel,the city of Sousse,the daily weather forecast, you have got en ought sites,that Hassen provided you, to have a good idea about the region,and the main attractions and must. Just to refresh your memory about Tunisia as a hole, I suggest to visit the Tunisian Tourist Board site
www.tourismtunisia.com
The weather will be a lovely one,sunny,warm, a bit cooler at night, but it's almost spring time
Enjoy your holidays,and hope you'll keep good memories of Tunisia. |
