Nabeul (Nabul), so often presented as the Tunesian capital of pottery.
It truly is. Near to Hammamet the town of Nabeul offers a authentic view of the art of
pottery and ceramics. Visitors can watch as the potter's wheel spins out a work
of art and admire the range of talents of these artisans who create the modern
and sophisticated with the same definite touch as the traditional Tunisian
ceramics.
Nabeul hosts a Friday market, once famous for camel traiding , with a variety of
local products, as well as the orange blossom festival held each year in April.
A small but interesting museum houses both Punic and Roman artifacts.
2 Km away is Dar Chaabane, a village noted for its stone carvers. It is just an
hours drive to Tunis where day excursions will introduce visitors to this
capital rich in history, its ancient medina with fabulous souks, prestigious
suburbs of Carthage, Sidi Bou Said ,the museum of Bardo with its world famous
mosaics alongside the bustling vitality of a modern city.
For visitors and Tunisians alike Hammamet is another word for
vacations and its ritual of sun bathing on spotless beaches, the gasp of cool
water on bronzed skin, dinner on the patio of a beachfront hotel , midnight
swims, discos and watching the sun rise in the mirror of the sea. Hammamet, the "Tunisian Saint Tropez", is all this and more. Its a
way of life, taking the time to relax , meet old friends and make new ones.It's
fishermen in brightly painted boats setting out at dawn, the medina surrounded
by its ramparts and crowned by an ancient fort overlooking the sea, fashionable
boutiques where resplendent traditional tunics and caftans rival the shimmering
sun.
The Gulf of Hammamet shelters miles of fine sandy beaches, sparkling seas and
modern hotels dedicated to the comfort a well being of their guests. A variety
of sea sports, folklore, exhibitions, festivals and amusements are provided for
an memorable vacation.
