OVERVIEW

Hammamet sits on a curved bay in north eastern Tunisia, with a small walled old town beside long sandy beaches. Hotels and residential districts extend along the coast, while gardens and citrus orchards surround the older settlement. The medina remains compact and visually coherent, with coast and markets providing the wider context. The surrounding settlement remains small enough for daily life to stay visible beside the main visitor areas.

Beach time, markets and evening promenades provide the main rhythm. The resort areas are highly developed, but the old town and nearby neighbourhoods preserve more local character. Spring and autumn offer a calmer balance between coast and culture. Gardens draws most attention, while markets provides a quieter and more local dimension.
