Introducing Tabarka
Tabarka, a quiet coastal town with a tough old Genoese fort (closed to the public) backing a long curve of alluring white sand that stretches below, is locally known as ‘music town’, thanks to all the music festivals that take place here. In just a few months you can go from the sophisticated jazz festival to the sounds of Raï or Latin beats, when everyone gets down and dances all day. Tabarka is a Tunisians’ resort, rarely visited by foreigners. It’s therefore little developed, with an old-fashioned feel, and pavement cafés where men suck on shishas and watch the world go by.

The small town has a grid layout, bisected by the main street, Ave Habib Bourguiba. There are banks and ATMs along Ave Habib Bourguiba in the centre, a post office (Ave Hedi Chaker) and Publinet (Route Touristique), which charges US$1 per hour.
