Near Hammamet, the town of Nabeul, offers an authentic view of the art of pottery and ceramics. Visitors can watch as the potter's wheel spins out a work of art and admire the range of talents of these artisans who create the modern and sophisticated with the same definite touch as the traditional Tunisian ceramics.
Nabeul hosts a Friday market, once famous for camel trading, with a variety of local products, as well as the orange blossom festival held each year in April. A small but interesting museum houses both Punic and Roman artefacts.
2 km away is Dar Chaabane, a village noted for its stone carvers. It is just an hour's drive to Tunis where day excursions will introduce visitors to this capital rich in history, its ancient medina with fabulous souks, the prestigious suburbs of Carthage, Sidi Bou Said, and the museum of Bardo with its world famous mosaics alongside the bustling vitality of a modern city.
