With the sea right on its doorstep, the locals of Hammamet have developed a delicious array of freshly caught seafood dishes for you to fall in love with alongside Tunisian favourites such as harissa, ojja, shakshouka, and the sweet treat of makroudh.

Culture
As Tunisia’s oldest beach destination, the friendly and hospitable locals of Hammamet have been welcoming overseas guests for a long time. From food and drink to customs and traditions, you’ll find a number of influences from the Arabic, Islamic, and European settlers who have called Hammamet home over the years.
