Sousse, Mediterranean coastal city in eastern Tunisia.

Ancient stone walls surround the Medina of Sousse, while modern districts extend toward the Mediterranean Sea with palm-lined streets and commercial zones.

Phoenicians established the settlement as Hadrumetum before the 6th century BC, later becoming a Roman colony in the 2nd century AD.

The 9th-century Great Mosque in the Medina permits non-Muslim visitors to explore its courtyard and designated areas throughout the structure.

Shared taxis called louages connect Sousse to Tunis in approximately 2.5 hours, with tickets costing 12 Tunisian Dinars per person.

The Archaeological Museum displays an extensive collection of Roman mosaics within the Kasbah, featuring detailed scenes of daily life from ancient times.
