• El Haouaria: The Complete Guide
• Destinations

When one opens the travel brochures for Tunisia, it would be fair to say that El Haouaria is one place that rarely shouts out at you. Instead, most of these brochures focus on the main touristic areas like Sousse and Monastir.

Well, let’s advise against this. Sure, the above destinations are well worthy of a visit, but when it comes to something a little different, few places will compete with El Haouaria.

Sat at the top of the Cap Bon, in its simplest terms this is a small town. It’s somewhat no-frills and while there are tourist attractions, it’s more authentic than the typical Tunisian resorts.

Following on from the above, let’s take a look at El Haouaria in a little more detail and highlight the main things you should be looking to do there if you decide to visit.

Let’s introduce El Haouaria

While we have already briefly introduced El Haouaria, much more can be said. The fact that it houses around 9,000 residents should highlight the type of place that it is, perhaps even more so when you start to consider that this is remotely located out in the sticks.

It is surrounded by white buildings, looking out to fields, and not just the Meditterean sea which a lot of tourists are used to when it comes to Tunisia.

If we hone in on its location a little more, Sicily is a stone’s throw (well, not quite) away to the east. It means that El Haouaria happens to be acutely positioned between Europe and Africa.

In terms of its history, the main trade that used to don El Haouaria was sandstone. This tended to be of the red and yellow sandstone, with most of this shipped to facilitate the construction of Carthage. Much of this sandstone came from underground, with many tunnels dug up to 100 feet long. Once it was obtained, a barge would ship the blocks to the relevant destinations.

What are the best things to do in Haouaria?

While some people might visit El Haouaria for the purposes of trekking around and taking in the history, there are of course still plenty of attractions to fill a day with. Sure, these attractions might not be as commercial or perhaps famous as some which other locations have, but they are still worthy of a visit if you find yourself in the town.

Let’s now take a look at some of the best few in-detail.

Djebel Sidi Abid

For those of you who appreciate mountains, Djebel Sidi Abiod should be on your list without a shadow of a doubt. At 390m, it’s not overly testing, but still sufficient to give you a sweat for the summer months.

This mountain is located right on the tip of the Tunisian Dorsale, meaning that those who are successful in reaching the summit can bask in truly glorious views over the cleefs that hang over the ocean.

If you can time your hike with the sunset, the sights can be even more scintillating as well. This is the point in which the sun sinks into the sea, but right beside Zembra island which just presents some truly memorable photo opportunities.

Another point is birdwatching. This is regarded as one of the best in Tunisia, as it captures the point which sits between two continents.

Plage Menzel Salem

For those of you who want more of a peaceful retreat, El Haouaria also houses some splendid beaches. One of these comes in the form of Plage Menzel Salem.

Let’s put something out there from the start; this isn’t a traditional beach that stretches for miles and miles. Instead, it’s small, humble and is only going to attract tourists with an acquired taste.

If you happen to fall into this taste category, which includes the base of rocky cliffs, picturesque views onto an island full of wind turbines, you will be absolutely in your element as you take to Plage Menzel Salem.

Ras El Drek

If we stay on the subject of beaches, let’s now move onto Ras Ed Drek. This is one beach which probably does cater for the masses a little more, as it’s long, white and sandy – the three attributes which tend to describe the best beaches in the world.

It’s not just tourists who are utterly taken with Ras Ed Drek either, it’s a big favorite amongst locals. For this reason, you’ll find plenty of resident’s homes and restaurants, which adds to the charm of the whole area.

For those of you who have children, or perhaps just an inquisitive mind, there are small coves that are dotted around the north side of the beach and this can be perfect for exploring, or just seeking shade in the peak of summer.

Les Grottes

The final member on our list comes in the form of Les Grottes. For anyone with at least a small grasp of foreign languages, it might become apparent that this focusses on grottos (or caves, to most of us).

The great thing about this attraction is that it’s not just about exploring the tiny holes of El Haouaria, although this is of course a big part of it. As well as this, there is actually a large historical element to Les Grottes. This all links to the sandstone history it has, with these caves being formed by the quarrying that the Romans did for all of their projects. This digging, said to have lasted for more than 1000 years, means that the caves stretching along the coast of El Haouaria are truly breathtaking.

The practicalities for El Haouaria

Now that we have explained all of the main information about El Haouaria, let’s move onto some of the practicalities.

In terms of getting there, it can be found by traveling along the C27 from Nabeul, or if you are coming from Tunis take the P1/C26.

For those of you looking to plan your trip around the climate, you should consider that the temperatures can reach as high as 32C during the dry months such as July and August. Winter is much milder and arguably more comfortable, particularly if you are looking to take on the mountains or caves we have spoken about.

The caves of Hawaria

The caves of Hawaria are located 2 km from the village of El Hawaria , by the sea, not far from the “real Cap-Bon”, this “finger” pointed towards Europe and which draws the southern edge of the Strait of Sicily through which passes most of the navigation in the Mediterranean.

These caves are sandstone quarries exploited from the Punic period in the 7th and 6th centuries BC, but more intensely in the Roman period. This stone was used, in Antiquity, in the construction of coastal cities and their main monuments, in particular, the capital: Carthage.

The monument is presented in the form of a succession of “rooms”, in fact excavations “hollowed out” by a narrow opening which sinks into the depths of the site, releasing a pyramidal space.

On the surface, at the top of the promontory that juts out towards the sea, next to the openings that give access to the deposit, there are also traces of aerial exploitation of the site.

Situation: – Cap Bon

Opening time: – From 16/09 to 31/05: 09.00 – 17.00 – From 01/06 to 15/09: 09.00 – 18.00

Ramadan schedule: – 09:00-16:00

Entrance fees: 8 dinars

Remarks: – The Site is open all week.

Amenities: – Bathroom – Shop – Cafeteria

ESCAPADES - El Haouaria, petit paradis à préserver

El Haouaria est l'un des plus beaux sites balnéaires de Tunisie, situé à l'extrémité nord-est du cap Bon, à l'entrée du golfe de Tunis : eaux cristallines, dauphins, criques et grottes ... cependant l'affluence et le manque de civisme des estivants met en danger cet endroit autrefois sauvage.

Rattachée administrativement au gouvernorat de Nabeul, El Haouaria compte environ 10 000 habitants.

Son emplacement géographique, son relief contrasté et son climat doux et tempéré en font un refuge de prédilection pour une multitude d'oiseaux migrateurs. Les Romains surnommeront d'ailleurs l'endroit Aquilaria ou « pays de l'aigle ».

Chaque printemps, 40 000 rapaces de 24 espèces différentes, mais aussi des milliers de cigognes et d'autres oiseaux plus petits, font halte à la pointe du cap avant leur traversée de la mer Méditerranée.

L'art de la fauconnerie est très pratiqué et remonte à l'antiquité, comme en témoignent certaines mosaïques exposées au musée national du Bardo. Le savoir-faire en matière de dressage des rapaces est transmis de génération en génération.

L'Association des amis des animaux, créée en 1975, mène un efficace travail de sensibilisation de la population à la protection des oiseaux et plus spécialement des rapaces.

Criques et grottes

Eaux cristallines, criques et grottes sont les principaux attraits de l'endroit. À trois kilomètres à l'ouest de la ville, les grottes artificielles du site de Ghar El Kebir ont été creusées par des prisonniers ou des esclaves sous l'autorité des Carthaginois puis des Romains. Les blocs de pierre qui en étaient extraits étaient acheminés par mer vers Carthage, de l'autre côté du golfe de Tunis. Ils servirent à l'édification de la cité punique, mais également à la construction des forts de la médina de Tunis. Ces carrières souterraines sont exploitées pendant près de 1 000 ans. 

A voir, à faire à el Haouaria

Au printemps, découvrir le dressage des faucons et éperviers et assister au festival annuel, fin juin, qui clôt la saison de la chasse. Visiter les carrières romaines de Ghar el Kebir  Randonner sur le Rass Adar qui domine de ses 393 m le Cap Bon : du sommet, une vue extraordinaire, étendue jusqu'à la Sicile par temps clair. Aller en bateau jusqu'aux îles Zembra et Zembretta, forteresses naturelles aux falaises vertigineuses abritant une faune et une flore d'une richesse unique. Visiter les ruines de Kerkouane, seuls vestiges d'une ville punique mis au jour jusqu'à présent. Baignade, plongée et découverte des dauphins au large ...

Opiniones de viajeros sobre El Haouria

Situada bajo la punta montañosa del cap bon , el haouaria es un sitio que hay que descubrir..

Me encantó pasearme por la localidad de El Haouaria: un lugar propicio para hacer bellas excursiones , a lo largo de los acantilados y en la montaña Abiod, un promontorio rocoso de 390 metros: ¡la vista es magnífica! Si te gustan las aves, el lugar es perfecto para admirar las rapaces que emigran en la región, en particular los majestuosos halcones peregrinos.

Te recomiendo la visita de la costa de El Haouaria, por sus playas espléndidas y salvajes de la costa sur y sobre todo por sus famosas "grutas romanas", en el noroeste. Estas grutas fueron excavadas en el acantilado por primera vez por los fenicios, que las utilizaron como canteras para la construcción de Kerkouane y Cartago. Después pasaron a ser explotadas por los romanos (de ahí su sobrenombre de "grutas romanas") por su arenisca amarilla muy buscada y fácil de trabajar, según los arqueólogos. Recuerda que los romanos extrajeron de aquí las piedras destinadas a construir el Coliseo y el anfiteatro de El Djem.

La calidad superior de las grutas de El Haouaria incitó incluso a los romanos a excavar galerías en la roca, creando así una red que se extiende todavía hoy ¡casi un kilómetro a lo largo de la costa!

16 Best Things to Do in Hammamet (Tunisia, Africa)

Encircling a cove on the  Cap Bon Peninsula in Tunisia , Hammamet is a quaint seaside town with beautifully preserved medina (Old Town), white sandy beaches, and a distinctly Mediterranean feel.

Dubbed the ‘St Tropez’ of Tunisia , the town is a popular destination for lazing on the beach and enjoying watersports in the turquoise blue ocean, but there is also plenty to do for visitors wanting to enjoy some of the culture and traditions of North Africa .

From strolling around the winding cobblestone streets of the Medina to snorkeling in the azure waters of the Mediterranean Sea , Hammamet certainly has something for everyone.

Let’s take a look at some of the best things to do in Hammamet, Tunisia in 2023.

1. Explore the Medina

While the beach might be the town’s drawcard, Hammamet’s quaint Medina (Old Town) is well worth exploring.

Surrounded by original 15th-century walls, the medina boasts a myriad of narrow winding lanes lined with some beautifully preserved traditional Tunisian architecture.

Escape the heat of the day with a stroll around the Old Town where there are many little cafés and bars to enjoy a refreshing drink and plenty of  shopping opportunities for locally made ceramics , carpets , embroidery , and leather goods .

The Medina: Main entry off Avenue Habib Bourguiba

Where to stay: Best Hotels in Hammamet, Tunisia

Lowest Price Guarantee

2. Soak up Some Culture at the Hammamet Cultural Center (Villa Sebastian)

The Cultural Center in Hammamet ’s Yasmine district is housed in the sumptuous Villa Sebastian , a beautiful example of Tunisian architecture named for George Sebastian , a wealthy Romanian who settled in Hammamet during the early 20th century.

Built in 1920, the building is used as a theater and concert venue and is surrounded by exquisite gardens that host Hammamet’s biggest annual event, the Hammamet International Festival of Music and Drama  every July and August. If you’re in town at this time, don’t miss it.

If you have an interest in history , head further along the coast to visit the excavation site of the Roman settlement of  Pupput and Hammamet’s first settlement.

Hammamet Cultural Center (Villa Sebastian): 97 Avenue de l’ONU, C28, Hammamet Sud 8050, Tunisia, Phone:  +216 72 280 410

3. Pay Your Respects at the Great Mosque

The Great Mosque is one of Hammamet’s most important buildings and a beautifully restored example of traditional Tunisian architecture.

Built in the 15 th century and restored to its former glory on 1972, the building stands next to the  Sidi Abdel Kader Mosque , which was built in 1798 and now functions as a madrassa (Islamic school).

Non-Muslims are not allowed to enter either building, but it is worthwhile visiting to admire the striking façades.

The Great Mosque: Manzil Bu Zalafah, Hammamet

4. Climb the Kasbah

The 13th-century Kasbah of Hammamet is worth visiting if you need a break from sunbathing. There is an interesting museum that delves into the town’s colorful history as a pirate lair and later Spanish occupation.

Climb to the top of the ramparts for magnificent views across the  medina , the picturesque fishing harbor , and the shimmering Mediterranean Sea .

Kasbah: Off Avenue Habib Bourguiba

5. Take the Kids to Friguia Park

Friguia Park is a fantastic place to visit with the kids where they can learn all about the animals that call Africa home.

Head there in the early morning to avoid walking around in the heat of the day, or enjoy specially themed nights, such as Zulu evenings, which showcase the best of Hammamet’s many diverse cultures.

Friguia Park:  GP 1, A ïn Rahma, 4089, Bouficha, Tunisia, Phone:  +216 73 385 880

6. Explore the Archaeological Remains of Pupput
