Hammamet Two Medinas Tour

Combining the best of the old and the new, this trip showcases Hammamet's abundant charm. Visit the historic medina for its tranquil maze of lanes that look and feel very much as they would have done centuries ago, before heading to the modern Yasmine Medina - Hammamet's shopping destination par excellence.First up, you'll visit the atmospheric old medina of Hammamet, which dates back to the 15th century. Here you'll have free time to wander its alleys of tightly packed whitewashed homes dominated by the Kabir Mosque minaret – made famous by Paul Klee in a painting. Everywhere you look you'll see Arabic detailing such as the keyhole shaped gateways and the colourful studded doors. The traditional, spice-scented souk is well worth a visit, so get your haggling skills ready.The next stop will be the Medina Yasmine, a much newer but equally appealing walled city built in the style of a traditional Tunisian village. You'll discover the local souks and shops, where you can find unique souvenirs and handicrafts. You'll also have the opportunity to visit the beautiful mosque and the Andalusian gardens, which provide a tranquil escape from the bustling streets.
