WHY Should Tourists Return to SOUSSE, TUNISIA? 🇹🇳 (Sousse & El Jem)

Sousse سوسة is a city in Tunisia located just 140 km south of the capital Tunis.
Perhaps most famous for it's purpose built tourism area of Hammam Sousse حمام سوسة and Port El Kantaoui القنطاوي سنتر marina, tourism here was decimated by the terrorist attack in 2015 and covid more recently.
But that's the past - Sousse now has a lovely Medina and beach front but with little tourism.
Why return? This video will show you if you should include Sousse on your Tunisia itinerary.
I'll also visit El Jem, with it's incredibly preserved Roman amphitheatre - perhaps topping the Colosseum of Rome!

The Tunisia series has been quite nice. Looking forward to the rest of it.👍

[@ChrisKermis]

Glad you like it! Working on the next one this evening 🙂

[@nicktanner6941]

Chris - I came across a few of your ‘what not to do’ videos and I love what you’re doing with this channel. Among travel KZbinrs you have a real talent for conveying useful information in an authentic and no nonsense sort of way. Hope to see much more!

[@ChrisKermis]

Thank you, appreciate the feedback and I'm glad you like what I've been doing. I certainly hope that I can build up the numbers of viewers and carry on making a lot more!

[@keithbrandon8540]

Thanks for 'taking us back' to Sousse and El jem. We had a great time there too. Enjoying your Tunisia episodes so looking forward to more. 👍

[@ChrisKermis]

Thank you 🙏🏽 There’s more coming and I’m excited to show Sfax next, my favourite city in Tunisia!

[@JustTunes31]

I was in Tunisia a couple of weeks ago and really liked it. The colosseum of El Jem was definitely the highlight ! Virtually deserted and only £3 to enter ! Amazing place ! I also visited El Jem museum which has fantastic mosaics from the old Roman city. Looking forward to seeing more from Tunisia Chris 👍

[@ChrisKermis]

Good stuff! I didn’t make it to the El Jem museum sadly but it was so great to visit there. Sfax will be coming soon, to me a hidden gem and my favourite city that I visited there!

[@elbalalaw1781]

So the spring roll type thing you ate is called Brik, it contains usally a mix of potatoes, eggs, and thuna with some herbs, those ingredients can be mixed and made into a finger shape as the one you ate, but more usally a bigger version is made with a hole egg put inside the fried pastary and it's delicious

[@ChrisKermis]

I ended up eating a few of these during my time in Tunisia, I loved them! I had an amazing big one in Tunis on my last day though not on video. I’d eat one right now if I could!

[@diaspo]

Cheers Chris! Thanks for taking us along

[@ChrisKermis]

Thanks for coming!

[@AY-uf4oz]

Looks beautiful. Planning a solo Tunisian trip next spring. What did you do at night in Sousse? Thanks.

[@Zeethaillest92]

Another great vid.. I just wanna add that you are always allowed inside a Mosque whether Muslim or not. Nobody can stop anybody from entering a Mosque.

[@regatta2k]

My man, Chris. Bravo

[@ChrisKermis]

Thank you!

[@roseyglow]

Thoroughly enjoyed your visit to Tunisia and the colosseum of El Jem unbelievably majestic and beautiful in every way. Thanks for showing me something that I didn’t know existed. Look forward to seeing more of your travels.

[@ChrisKermis]

Great to hear, thank you!

[@rochdiliverpool]

Nice video about Sousse and Dar Essid! :)

[@ChrisKermis]

Thank you!

[@Nothingreturned]

[@patrick2222ful]

Chris being an expert on Tunisia give the powers at be your findings and recommendations to improve standards while Tunisia as competitive edge and can invest in infrastructure..while Spain as become woke to many tourists climate change etc. Get a fee for your excellent observations, you need outside fresh eyes to identify positive change to increase tourism. my wife and i go to sousse for my birthday and anniversary for peace and lovely beaches cheap travel great shopping 😅 use your platform to tell Tunisia tourism/ government For a fee ..Thanks for excellent advice.

Thank you! Cheers!

Nice

[@halimakhatun8955]

Great videos. Thank you. Are you there now? We are going on the 16th feb next friday..was wondering what the weather is like, thinking about clothes what to pack lol

[@ChrisKermis]

I’m not there now so couldn’t say, back in the cold planning the next trip. Have a great time there!

[@Sarah-xc8fm]

What month did you visit, the weather looks lovely

[@ChrisKermis]

It was around early September. The weather was great I thought, pretty warm but not crazy

[@mohamedhannachi8585]

Take the louage bro it's better and faster than the train, cheers from tunis.

[@ChrisKermis]

Absolutely! That’s what I did for the rest of the trip and what I recommend in my what not to do video

[@liveyhuggyman7027]

@@ChrisKermisi love that video! You just won a follower! I’m going to Monastir with my wife next month. How much is the louage from there to Sousse? Is the louage the best way to move or taxis are better? I also read about apps like BOLT and YASSIR

[@ChrisKermis]

@liveyhuggyman7027 great to hear, thanks! I didn’t visit Monastir myself so I don’t know, but louage is always cheap. Check out my “what not to do” video where I go in detail about louage and other transport.

[@user-kq7nr9ke3b]

5:35 the thing is called break

[@ChrisKermis]

I grew to love that stuff in Tunisia and ate many. Some much better ones later in the journey too!

What happened to Djerba? Wonderful place?😊

[@ChrisKermis]

I never made it there, not enough time. I had to make a choice between Djerba and Tozeur and I glad with what I chose

[@MD-fj9nw]

When is the Sfax video coming out

[@ChrisKermis]

@MD-fj9nw I trying to get it live for this evening, hopefully I'll make that, if not then tomorrow

[@MD-fj9nw]

[@ChrisKermis]

Thank you, I really appreciate it! 🙏🏽

[@tee2899]

Sou sèè......okay

[@alanrobinson5559]

Shame you didn’t show the Marina in Port El Kantaoui. I’ve never heard Sousse pronounced the way you pronounced it…Soussay?

[@user-ff8gp3og2f]

Calm down dude

[@Arabicwithcultulingue]

Can you recommend place hotel to stay in

[@ChrisKermis]

I can’t really, I wouldn’t really recommend the place that I stayed

[@user-bq6zj2hh4c]

İt depends whether if you are looking for a five star hotel or a guest house tell me what you are looking for i can recommend the best for you

[@user-bq6zj2hh4c]

5:20 it's called brick

[@ChrisKermis]

The first one I had, it became something I loved in Tunisia and I had some great ones!

[@user-bq6zj2hh4c]

@@ChrisKermis happy to hear that

[@selim996]

You mean breek ... brick is something else bro

Another tourist who makes a big deal of being a " traveller "..?! Tunis looks like Eastbourne with better weather .
