Monastir Holidays

Monastir Holiday Information

A true blend of Tunisian traditions and modern life characterises life in the Tunisian town of Monastir. You may recognise the Ribat in Skanes (nearby) as one of the locations for the film “Raiders in the Lost Ark”.

The Ribat in Monastir is home to the Museum of Islamic Arts showing exquisite ancient textiles, manuscripts, pottery and miniatures from different historic periods. A lot of the areas around the tower in Monastir are even older, although small areas were developed in the 18th and 19th centuries too.

Why not take a stroll along Monastir’s promenade at the marina for stunning Mediterranean views, and stop at one of the coffee houses along the way?

Beaches in Monastir

There is a small beach in front of the Ribat in central Monastir, which is perfect to cool your feet in after a hard days sightseeing, but head out to Houda Golf and Beach Club between Souse and Monastir for a family friendly swimming beach with water sports on offer (and a challenging 18-hole golf course), or take a trip to Abou Nawas Cap Mahdia for an endless strip of fabulous golden sand.
