Nabeul Souk & Pottery
سوق نابل
A traditional market in neighboring Nabeul, famous for painted pottery. The Friday market sells ceramics, spices and wickerwork.
Nabeul is about 12 km from Hammamet and is Tunisia's capital of ceramics. The old-town market and the avenue leading to the seafront are lined with pottery workshops and shops. Painted plates and bowls, tagine pots and tiles are inexpensive, and you can watch artisans throw and glaze pottery. A big market is held every Friday morning, selling pottery, spices, wickerwork, olivewood items and local produce, and it is very crowded. Haggling is expected when shopping, and fragile items should be well packed. A taxi or louage (shared minibus) from Hammamet takes about 20 minutes.
Opening hours
Shops approx. 09:00–19:00; Friday market in the morning
