Music Festivals
Tabarka is famous far and wide for its four first-rate, summertime music festivals . The season kicks off with the outstanding, weeklong Jazz Festival (second week of July) and is followed by the World Music Festival (mid-August), the Latinos Festival (late August) and, to cap off the season, the RaïFestival (at the tail end of August), which brings to town raï superstars from France and Algeria.

Tabarka Golf Club
The Tabarka Golf Club has a fine 18-hole layout. Theoretically you need a handicap of 36 but in practice just having a golf handicap certificate (carte verte in French) is sufficient. Renting a half-series of clubs costs TD7. Reservations, necessary for groups in spring and autumn, can be made by email or fax (summer is the low season here). Three- to seven-day beginners' courses and private lessons (30 minutes costs TD22) are available.

Café Andalous
This old-time, teetotal café is worth a visit just to see the wall tiles, made long ago in Tunis by Jews; the wood-and-copper figurines of Ottoman Turks strung along the ceiling; and the chandeliers, which have to be seen to be believed. During the jazz festival, this is one of the venues for live music.
