Hammamet

Hammamet may be reached via two different airports, both located at approximately the same distance from town (about an hour's drive away). Buses to Tunis-Carthage Airport run three times daily, departing form and arriving to the central bus station on Avenue Habib Thamaeur. The newly opened Enfidha-Hammamet International Airport is best reached via privately arranged transfer (these can be pre-booked in preparation for your trip). Both airports have taxi stands, cabs may be hired upon arrival.

Buses to various destinations depart from bus stops along the main avenue of Yasmine Hammamet (the main stop is directly outside the Yasmine Medina). Tickets may be purchased on board. Another local means of transportation is a so-called "louage" - a smaller, fixed-fare mini-bus (white in color with red stripes on the sides). To take one of those to Tunis, go to Place Pasteur. For other destinations (Kairouan and Sousse), you will need to head out to Barrak-es-Sahil - a couple of km north of town.

Yellow taxis circulate around Hammamet, and may be easily hailed off the side of the road or taken at taxi stands. Do make sure to either agree on the price before departure, or check that the meter is running to pay the correct fare.

Several pharmacies operate in the area. One address is: Pharmacie Drira Omar 278 Avenue de la Libération +216 72 279 521

There are two post offices on Ave de la Republique - one right next to Centre Commercial, and the other (main branch) further up the Avenue.
