Arabic Language Schools in Hammamet, Tunisia

Hammamet: Hammamet means ‘the baths’ in Arabic and this sun drenched coast with crystal clear blue water is often dubbed the Tunisian St-Tropez. Located approx 40 miles south of the capital Tunis, this laid-back tourist destination is popular among tourists and locals alike for swimming and water sports. One of the first things you notice when you arrive here is that the entire town is basically one big garden where oranges, lemons and other citrus fruits grow, as well as olive groves. In fact, there is so much plant life that many poeple call it "the garden resort". By order of the government, building are not allowed to be taller than a tree, which means that Hammamet's buildings sprawl horizontally, unlike the brutal high-rise developments that have ruined so many other Mediterranean coasts. Apart from enjoying the beautiful beach one can browse the markets for local pottery or wander through the medina (old city) with walls that date to 1500. Summer brings festival fever to the city with plenty of music and theatrical offerings so there is always something for everyone.
