Just a few kms outside of Tunis, Gammarth is a quiet town which is mostly residential. It is part of the coast of Carthage Coast which is often compared to the Riviera in France. It is a seaside coastal resort with some astounding beautifully sandy beaches.

With its location being north to the centre of Tunis it is an ideal place to use as a base enabling easy access to other parts of Tunisia.

For those who love water sports you will find everything available including scuba diving, waterskiing, jet skiing, sailing and paragliding.

The other sports which are available away from the beach are tennis, golf, horse riding and camel rides.

For sightseeing and exploration of culture and history, visit the village of Sidi Bou which has cobbled streets, whitewashed houses with blue to add a touch of colour. There are some quaint shops where you can easily spend some hours whiling away the time.

The restaurants in Gammarth are welcoming, where you will find a range of international and Tunisian cuisine in the menus. For more in the way of choice, particularly evening entertainment you can travel to nearby Tunis. Gammarth's neighbour La Marsa, also has a choice of restaurants and a sedate nightlife.

We would recommend Gammarth as a first class resort where you can get the best of both worlds, beaches, sun, beach activities and culture and history.
