HAMMAMET, Africa’s Ultimate Holiday Destination! TUNISIA Travel Vlog الحمامات 🇹🇳

Hammamet Beach, that is a well known place. I never thought I will be going there as it is a very very touristy place and hold therefore little interest to me or my family. We normally like to explore the countries we visit way beyond the tourist places. But yes, why not? We do have three months in this country, might as well also visit the most touristy places in all of Tunisia as well as the hidden jems. Please do check out the full video and let me know what you think. The main thing is what surprised us the most.

We visited Tunisia for the first time in early March. We loved it. We plan to return for our next holiday.

[@yvesthesleeve]

I can understand that, it is very nice

[@khalilsoussi7264]

you represent the kind of tourist we need in Tunisia. to answer your question , unfortunally the majority of the hotels propose a good deal all inclusive for the tourists and that is why all of the them stay inside and don't buy anything from outside. they have markets inside the hotel , inside pool outside pool , private beach and everything to drink and to eat for free. Cafes markets and restaurants in the city are surviving thanks to the local visitors but it is not enough ...

[@yvesthesleeve]

I almost figured that, and I did notice that there are not many independent tourists in Tunisia. I hope views will catch on and I can show a lot of things.

[@khalilsoussi7264]

@@yvesthesleeve we need to work more on our infrastucture and the cleanliness of the streets and transportation to attract more independent tourist. if you are staying long enough i recommend these places : Beach : Kelibia / Haouaria / Mahdia / Djerba Cities : Tunis / Sidi bousaid / Bizerte / Sousse / Monastir Monumemts and Museums : Bardo Museum / Carthage / El jem Amphitheatre / Dougga / Kairouan Mosque Nature : Tabarka and Ain Draham ( mountains and forest ) Tozeur and kebili ( Sahara and oasis ). You can also visit the Berber villages in Matmata and Chenini . make sure to visit yasmine Hammamet if you are still there

[@MdTriki]

I think given your preferences, it is better to look for local culture oriented cities, hangout with trust worthy locals who know the good spots for different places that the locals love to enjoy.. it is very feasable

[@Hn-xu1cd]

The tractors clean the sand. Hammamet is a beautiful city, but you must go to Yasmine Hammamet, its port is beautiful, and there are games for your children in Carthageland.

[@Johnny._C]

If you are looking for a place where more is „going on“, you should go to center ville Hammamet. Its full of people and families, especially during summer and even more towards the evening 😉 There is a nice beach, nice coast line, the Kasbah (old Fort), a Medina, lots of Cafes and Restaurant with great food and beautiful view. Like „Berber Soul“ has a good mix of view & tasty food (try the berber breakfast👍🏼), Cafe Sidi Bou Hdid has a great view for example.

[@yvesthesleeve]

yes I heard that, will go there

[@chaw294]

Thanks a bunch for sharing the walkabout in Hammamet. Wonderful to tag along to see this town/place and beach. Yeah, this beach is more crowded. Have a great day and stay safe.

[@yvesthesleeve]

Thanks for watching

[@jsr6126]

Welcome to our beautiful city. in the day time it's a great place to relax, hit the beach, or do some good shopping. It all change at 9PM give or take, then the place becomes crowded with tourists, party lovers, fancy cars, anything you wouldn't expect probably you will see. Hammamet's night life is pretty much booming after 9pm in summer. Have Fun.

[@yvesthesleeve]

Ah okay I see

[@sabrihadiaoui9292]

you spent all 23 minutes looking for tourists?! you visit this part of hammamet for fun? or for tourists? you need to know more informations before shooting and observing and giving fresh instant remarks, with love from a Tunisian

[@yvesthesleeve]

No, I just walked around and looked at the place, I noticed that there are no tourists, I never look for tourists, I do not like tourists in general. Just an observation.

[@wassimbouchnak6120]

I advise you to visit after Hammamet Sousse, Monastir and Mahdia you will find locals, tourists and historical places full of life. By the way, Tunisia is not like Egypt or Morocco

[@yvesthesleeve]

Yes, it seems not to be like those place, although it is very similar to Morocco but just more laid back.

[@bbrtttr3116]

The peak season starts in July. The filming might have been a long time earlier.

[@yvesthesleeve]

Na, that was filmed just a week ago.

[@Hn-xu1cd]

You should visit Yasmine Hammamet, its port, and Carthage Land and play with your children, it is close to you

[@samarmasmoudi1213]

Hi! Thanks for the vlog and sharing your thoughts as you walk around. Hammamet is actually famous because of the multiple beach resorts. Very few tourists come and stay in Airbnbs and rented apartments, but rather just for a bundle all-inclusive hotel plus flight, and almost never leave the hotels. It is very sad for them, because the best to see in Tunisia is well outside Hammamet anyway. If you want to see the bunch of people on the beach who are non-locals out of curiosity, I suggest you take a walk on the beach across the hotel resort beach parts. You will see the all-inclusive tourists then. Also, the south of Hammamet is way more crowded and has much more resorts, that's more like the "touristy" hammamet, while locals prefer the northern part because it's more chill while being close to hammamet city for night fun. In all cases don't expect anything like Egypt, Tunisia doesn't have that big of a crowd anyway. Enjoy your stay. And I advise you to skip the hammmamet part fast, there's much more charm to less tourist cities, even for a beach holiday!

[@yvesthesleeve]

Yes, we are on the way to other places in Tunisia soon, I try usually to get away from tourists 😁

[@cyrinehb9014]

Go to the old madina it's vibrant And the area you are staying un it's a bit quiet , there's another area near by which has more restaurants and crowds And there's also hammamet south where there's marina Usually it gets more crowded in the weekend and mid July onwards ....

[@yvesthesleeve]

Sure thing will check out that medina

[@bg5066]

tourism in hammamet died since 2011 after the arab spring but we still have some tourists both locals and foreigners you can find them in old madina , yasmine hammamet , carthage land , the center ville of hammamet its little bit more vibrant there

[@yvesthesleeve]

That is actually interesting, we were here in Tunisia in 2009 and there it was still fully touristy

[@Chiheb_AK]

Number of tourists per year in tunisia : 2008: 7,050,000 2009: 7,797,000 2010: 7,828,000 2011: 5,746,000 (significant drop due to the Tunisian revolution) 2012: 6,999,000 2013: 7,352,000 2014: 7,163,000 2015: 5,359,000 (decline due to terrorist attacks) 2016: 5,724,000 2017: 7,052,000 (recovery) 2018: 8,299,000 2019: 9,429,000 (highest recorded) Idk about that fact, i can't really say "died" 2020 was a very low number like anywhere, then we saw a recovery in numbers since 2022

[@bg5066]

@@Chiheb_AK i said tourism died in hammamat not all tunisia i remember before 2011 i used to go hammamet and it was full of tourists everywhere i dont know what happened now its empty maybe most of those tourists stay in the hotel dont go outside

[@Chiheb_AK]

​@@bg5066 indeed you're right, many tourists tend to stay in hotels and not to discover the city, and some of them just go to known hotspots. Also some places got really good and better at attracting tourists like Djerba, Bizerte.. and i can add a new big category (that contributes to those numbers) "travellers" who likes to discover, btw airbnb helped this trend, you can see a lot of "recent" yt videos of travellers. So numbers are less in hotsposts, that's why touristy parts are less crowded (that's good imo) better promotion for the country and less mass tourism that destroys cities. Nowadays i can see travelers in not touristy parts discovering, interracting with locals, eating authentic food, and that's the best experience and tourism imo.

[@ayoubmarzouk9499]

you should go to matmata

[@yvesthesleeve]

Will look into that

[@barrygray8356]

You sound very American for a Swiss. Great videos from the far east and now north Africa. Keep them coming mate. Great stuff 👌

[@anama3313]

which part of America?

[@yvesthesleeve]

Well, I used to live in America, that is why...

[@chawquee]

not local they are north africans who lives in europe this years all hotels are ful because of what happening in the east of midetranean sea

[@yvesthesleeve]

I see

[@Zakri_Boy]

I'll watch the video at a later time, but I feel compelled to leave a comment here.

I hope you will watch it 😀

Well, I speak very limited Arabic but I mostly speak French with people in these countries.

Hi Moonshine

[@yvesthesleeve]

hi there

[@bhavanamurthy4255]

Oops no action happening in tourist place😅😊

[@yvesthesleeve]

not very much

[@Chiheb_AK]

Unfortunately thats not a touristy place, action should be down south of this place

[@Hamdi-pi9dq]

Sounds like you doing some revenge 😂 please don't come back.

[@yvesthesleeve]

what are you talking about? Have you escaped from somewhere?

[@Hamdi-pi9dq]

@@yvesthesleeve no I got VIP tickets. Clearly you don't have clue where to go .

[@Hamdi-pi9dq]

The places you visited is for shave peoples.

[@navajyotichetia8968]

If there's lots of complaining about loud children then it means you have taken your profession to a certain degree of what is professionally called a toxic work environment- India sri Lanka Africa appear better places for your working configuration

[@yvesthesleeve]

No problem in India and Sri Lanka, all over Asia actually. Mostly people are complaining are from the west where people are not happy. They forget where they are coming from and why they live

[@nidhalben5001]

you see parties on the streets in Miami or Bali ? you need to go inside hotels / resorts then you can talk . it is not the destination mistake that you are cheap

[@yvesthesleeve]

what a moron

[@Eastcoast2121]

I dont think tunisia ever recovered from that terrorist attack on the beach 2015. Lots of places closed because tourists stopped going. The europeans probably go now because its more or less guarenteed sunshine not too far from europe.

[@yvesthesleeve]

Yes that is well possible

[@Chiheb_AK]

Following only that unfortunate event, tourism took a hit during 2016- 2017, then it recovered, until 2020 Covid happened, and since Covid ended in 2021 thankfully everything went back to normal, also it's much more safer, i invite you to check it out Much love ❤
