Tunisia's first purpose built tourist town has now established itself as the country's most popular holiday resort. With its own beautifully appointed 300-yacht international marina, Port El Kantaoui has just about everything one would expect for a family holiday: fine beach, shops, bars, cafes and restaurants and just enough evening entertainment to keep the tourist visitor happy.From April to November you can enjoy watersports on the beach including sailing, windsurfing, jet-ski and water-skiing.

From the marina you can take sea trips in glass-bottomed boats, motorised sailing vessels and catamarans or go scuba diving. Other activities available within the resort include quad biking, horse riding, tennis and golf and if you fancy a flutter, then just five minutes away is the Casino Caraibe, complete with gaming machines, tables, restaurant and show.

What to see and do:
Just 15 minutes away from Port El Kantaoui by tourist 'Noddy train' or taxi is Sousse, Tunisia's third largest city after Tunis and Sfax. Here you will find a working town and resort where you can haggle for tourist souvenirs in the old Medina or shop in modern fixed price stores like the Soula Centre.

For something different during the evening take in a Bedouin Feast.

Where to go:
You can take a full day sightseeing tour to discover the Roman Ruins of Dougga, make a visit to Friguia Park, Tunisia's first wild-life animal park or travel south on a desert safari taking in El Djem and Kairouan. Port El Kantaoui is not too faraway from Tunis and Carthage or the pretty village of Sidi Bou Said.

The 36-hole El Kantaoui course is now home to the end of season Seniors tour.
