About Port el Kantaoui

The architecture, although modern and dazzlingly white, has been modelled on the more traditional buildings in Tunisia, complete with narrow streets and arches. The hotels that line the beachfront extend from Sousse itself along miles of sparkling clean sea to Port El Kantaoui. The charm of this white and blue Tunisian style village with its reproduced medina, cobblestone streets and attractive marina is popular with package holiday visitors, families and first time visitors, offering familiar and safe surroundings[2]. However, its extensive landscaping and detachment from the true Tunisia brings critics; most notably the Rough Guide has described Port El Kantaoui as "Tunisia without tears ... artificial, soulless, even anaemic"
