Tourist complex 10 kilometres north of Sousse in central Tunisia. Built in 1979 specifically as a tourist centre, it boasts a modern marina
equipped for over 300 boats and several golf courses, as well and a
full array of other sporting activities from water skiing to
paragliding. The 36-hole PGA approved championship course makes Port El Kantaoui a popular destination for golfing.
The architecture, although modern and dazzlingly white, has been
modelled on the more traditional buildings in Tunisia, complete with
narrow streets and arches. The hotels that line the beachfront extend
from Sousse itself along miles of sparkling clean sea to Port El Kantaoui.
The charm of this white and blue Tunisian style village with its
reproduced medina,
cobblestone streets and attractive marina is popular with package
holiday visitors, families and first time visitors, offering familiar
and safe surroundings. However, its extensive landscaping and
detachment from the true Tunisia brings critics; most notably the Rough
Guide has described Port El Kantaoui as "Tunisia without tears ...
artificial, soulless, even anaemic" .
