Mahdia|2.42km from city center
Mahdia is a city built on a peninsula, located 200 km south of Tunis. Its economy is mainly focused on fishing (Tunisia's first fishing port) and on tourism (its white sandy beaches where you can collect shells with a shovel, its history and the welcome of its inhabitants make it the 'one of the most popular seaside resorts in Tunisia). The city retains the charm of a small, still authentic fishing town, where silk craftsmanship remains. It has monuments worthy of interest: Skifa Kahla (huge fortified gate dating from the 16th century); Marine cemetery (magnificent cemetery opening directly onto the sea); Wrecks (several underwater wrecks dating from the wars of the Middle Ages); Bordj El Kébir (very imposing fortress); Large mosque (quite unique in the region because it does not have a minaret). All the tourist attractions are offered (water skiing, parachute at sea, sea trips on a pirate ship, camel rides, more cultural rides by train ...) and many other distractions! You will taste regional cuisine (inexpensive restaurants nearby), Tunisian pastry (Baklava, Stuffed Dates, Donuts, Yoyo ...).Transport:Plane: The city is located 30 minutes from Monastir international airport.
