The resort of Tabarka in northwest Tunisia is a picturesque resort, built around a marina, with a magnificent beach which stretches for miles.

It is a popular resort for scuba divers and golfers, as well as being a good base for family holidays.

Tabarka has a rich cultural history. Yellow marble and lions were shipped out from here to the rest of the Roman empire.

A Genoese fort is clearly visible from most points in Tabarka and remains of the Ottoman forts can be found in the hills around Tabarka.


Tabarka is not a large resort and best explored on foot. Taxis can be used from the hotels strip to the resort centre.

There is also a noddy train running from the tourist area to the resort. If you wish to travel further afield, the bus or a 'louage' (shared taxi) is a good option.


Due to its central location, fish is a popular dish in this area of the country and features on the menu of the cheapest and most expensive of restaurants.
