If you’re considering booking an all-inclusive stay at this hotel, here are a few details from me as someone visiting Tunisia for the first time. Let me start by saying that Tunisia is truly part of Africa, and whether you’re traveling to the Nozha Beach Resort from Hammamet or Monastir, you’ll quickly experience the local culture along the way. I wouldn’t recommend driving here yourself. Firstly, traffic operates on an unwritten set of rules—crosswalks, parking lots, and even stationary buses are largely ignored. It’s common to see pedestrians stopping cars with a wave of their hand, and the narrow streets make maneuvering quite challenging. But let’s get to the important stuff: Location Nozha Beach Resort is situated between Nabeul and Hammamet, both great spots for a cloudy-day excursion and easily accessible by taxi for around 12 TND. Bargaining is a way of life here, and locals will try to overcharge tourists—don’t let them. Nozha is surrounded by several hotels along the shoreline, but heading west, only three or four hotels are still operational. Beyond that, you’ll find broken piers and empty land, a stark reminder of the economic challenges in the area. If you’re looking for a beautiful seaside experience in a nice hotel, this is the place for you. Beach As I mentioned earlier, the area is lined with hotels, but I can confidently say this beach was the cleanest, free of seaweed. Towel rentals cost 20 TND, and people often claim their spots under umbrellas early in the morning. If the entire hotel decided to head to the beach instead of the pool, there wouldn’t be enough space for everyone, so grab your spot while you can. Between the loungers and the water, vendors selling drums, shirts, rugs, and even cigarettes are common. One guy shouting “Marlboro cigarettes!” is hard to forget. However, they don’t walk between the loungers, which limits their access to when you head to the water. If they approach, a polite refusal is enough, and if they’re too persistent, hotel staff will escort them away. Food Food is undoubtedly a key part of any vacation, especially with all-inclusive packages. Breakfast was continental, and if you weren’t already full, you’d find yourself in line for an omelet or fried eggs like a true European. Scrambled eggs were also available, but they clearly hadn’t met salt. The selection included both savory and sweet options, and the pancakes were decent all seven days. Desserts, juices, pastries, bambalouni (Tunisian doughnuts), grilled and raw vegetables were plentiful, though the grilled ones didn’t attract much attention. Each meal came with salads and a variety of dressings, but none were particularly appealing, so I stuck with plain veggies. I also saw some cereals but didn’t trust them much. Lunch and dinner featured plenty of meats, vegetables, and other dishes. The longest lines were usually for fresh tuna, shrimp, fish, or roasted meats. They’re clearly trying to replicate European cuisine—for instance,
