In case there wasn't enough to do in Monastir, the next port up has plenty to offer in the way of rare archaeological finds and exciting history which can be discovered in the Sousse Archaeological Museum or the Museum Dar Essid. The city of Sousse, similar to Monastir, exhibits some important ancient structures that remain intact today. The Ribat in Sousse is a bit smaller than that of Monastir and perhaps not as impressive, but it is inexpensive to enter and visitors can climb the tower right to the top to appreciate the expansive views of the city from above. The Medina is nearby and contains the main Mosque of the city as well as a bustling souk complete with passionate traders who will test your haggling skills. Be careful of rogue traders and pickpockets in busy areas such as these and be mindful of offers made by unlicensed operators. Getting to Sousse from Monastir is very easy to do, just hop on the bus or train from the city centre and in about half an hour you'll be there.

This is more than a museum for car enthusiasts—it's a journey through American history and ingenuity. The museum, part of The Henry Ford complex, began with Henry Ford’s personal collection and has grown into one of the nation’s premier attractions. Iconic artifacts include the limousine in which President John F. Kennedy was assassinated, the Rosa Parks bus, and early innovations in aviation and locomotion. Beyond cars, you'll find exhibits showcasing trailblazing moments in design, technology, and pop culture.

The 55-metre high castle church, made out of sandstone, is the town’s landmark. It was built between 1695 and 1701, and it is considered as one of the best-known baroque-style buildings in the region. Call in advance if you want to book a guided tour, and do not forget to check out the castle itself as well.
