Hammamet, 65 kilometres southeast of Tunis, combines a taste of North Africa with the facilities of a well-established, cosmopolitan resort, complete with a vast sandy beach and two golf courses. You can still immerse yourself in local culture by haggling in the Medina's souks, or visiting ancient Carthage or Tunis, the capital.
