Monastir is a Tunisian city spread over a rocky peninsula off the Mediterranean coast. It was erected on the site of the ancient settlement of Ruspina, which once witnessed the military confrontation between Caesar and Pompey. Today it's a resort with good beaches, international class golf clubs, and a riding school in Skanes. The monastery enchants with the Medina, an old part of the city with narrow maze-like streets, the mausoleum of the first president, and classical French architecture, attractive in African landscapes.

Diving and sailing trips are meant for those who like active rest. In addition, the city attracts with its oriental flavor, presented in its architecture:

— Hartem fortress is the main attraction of the city, which is an excellent example of military Islamic architecture of the 8-11 centuries. Once it was a haven for monks who militantly defended the city's borders. The fortress is admired for its intricate system of corridors and halls. Today the Museum of Islamic Art is located in the prayer hall of the fortress, and a magnificent panoramic view of the city opens from the observation deck of the fortress.

— The monumental mausoleum of Habib Bourguiba, which the first president of Tunisia began to build for himself during his lifetime. Today it is a structure with two minarets and a golden dome, inside which there are marble sarcophagi of members of the Bourguiba and Habib families. There is also a museum here, where the personal belongings of a statesman are presented.

— Medina is an old walled city. The narrow, pedestrian-only streets form an intricate web of passages that in ancient times should have confused the city's invaders.

Many travelers set off from Monastir on a two-day excursion to the Sahara desert. A camel ride, Bedouin clothes, and sandy expanses far beyond the horizon will leave good memories for a long time. We also recommend visiting the remains of Carthage, a city that was once the mighty capital of the Phoenician Empire, and today is a prestigious suburb of Tunisia. Another interesting location is the Basilica of St. Louis, erected on the site of the death of the French king Louis IX.
