Overview

Hammamet, also known as Jasmine or Yasmine Hammanet, is a very popular tourist resort. There lovely beaches alas also many hotels. There is a nice Ribat (castle) and some picturesque houses of traditional architecture.

In the last few years a new marina has been built in the old harbor.

Tourism

The Medina is nice with shady narrow streets full of stores. It is a picturesque town but too touristy. The Ribat is also worth seeing.

The beach here is lovely and wide stretching for miles with many fishing boats resting on its extremely fine sand. One can sit on the beach and enjoy beautiful sunsets. The fishing boats are all very run down. Nothing like the freshly painted and well maintained boats of Malta.
