Hammamet Medina & Kasbah
مدينة الحمامات
A whitewashed, blue-doored old town built right by the sea. The 15th-century Kasbah walls offer views over the Mediterranean and the long beach.
The old town of Hammamet was built in the 15th century and is enclosed by complete city walls, with its northern edge running right up to the sea. In the southwest corner stands the Kasbah, where you can climb the walls for views over the bay. Inside, you'll find the minaret of the Great Mosque, whitewashed lanes with blue doors, and a market selling pottery and carpets. Outside the walls, cafés and beaches line the shore, and the sunset here is particularly beautiful.
Entry to the old town is free, and the Kasbah charges a small admission fee. Bargaining is the norm at the market, so be wary of touts and pushy salespeople.
Opening hours
Old town open all day; Kasbah approx. 08:30–19:00
