To see
The Regional Archaeological Museum located along Habib Bourguiba Avenue includes a historical map of Nabeul, as well as very fine pieces from Punic and Roman times. Pottery, oil lamps, jewellry, coins, vases and amphorae make up the collections. The oldest objects date back to the seventh century BC and hark back to the city's Punic period. The others were made up until the third century BC.More
To do
Day trips to Tunis, Carthage and Sidi Bou Said are essential. In a group, you will not have to worry about identifying sites to see, but you will be accompanied by a crowd of tourists. It is possible to make the same excursion individually by taking the bus to Tunis (several departures per day), then the train to Carthage and Sidi Bou Saïd.More
To think about
Rent a car and leave for the discovery of Cap Bon. It is a mainly agricultural region, surrounded by beautiful beaches that have not yet been taken over by hotels.More

To avoid
Choose Nabeul instead of Hammamet (when the hotels are full). Although Hammamet is busy in high season, Nabeul remains an area for relaxing as a family.More
To try
Couscous (with chicken or lamb). You can find buffets in the major hotels more and more (offered as a speciality or during Tunisian evenings). Try also other recipes of the country such as the fingers of Fatma (pastry stuffed with white chicken, potatoes and capers), tajine (omelette with meat and potatoes) and the brick (triangle of dough filled with tuna and a half-cooked egg).More
To bring back
As for pottery, Nabeul is a renowned centre for this craft. Take time to stroll between the displays to get an idea of different qualities. Broadly speaking, the non-glazed clay is for decorative use but depending on their mode of fabrication, the dishes, even glazed, can split after being in the oven. Do not hesitate to visit a manufacturing centre if you wish to take something home as a souvenir.More

Tunisia and thalassotherapy, the perfect partners
You don't have to go very far at all for a complete change of scenery, one that is a million miles (figuratively, of course) from the everyday grind of home, or even the packed, Anglophone resorts of Spain, Portugal and Greece.
