    This has to be one of my favourite museums. This place gives you an insight into how the rich used to live. The museum all be it small is very well decorated. The view from the terrace and tower are spectacular. The terrace has a blocked view but from the tower you get 365 degrees view. Take your time to take in this place. The museum is so easy to find. It is situated along the Medina walls. It costs 5TND to enter which is a steal. Please note that often (especially off/season) the museum might not be open. There is a phone number on a wooden slab opposite the entrance. Alternatively, call them in advance. It took me three attempts to gain access. Excellent museum but please find someone to man it so people can visit.

    it’s open until 7pm in summer season. climb on the tower to have a panorama of medina. If you found it closed at opening time, just refer to a room 30 meter north of the entrance, where you could find the staffs.

    Nice little palace house with great Medina views from the staircase tower. 30 minutes needed to visit.

    The house was structured in a well known style found during ottoman time which you can find in many countries in North Africa especially in the old Medina. The house was once owned by a rich family. I was lucky to find a bride with her traditional sousse wedding clothes. She was there for a photo session. People are proud of their culture 🙏. This house is worth visiting while touring around Sousse.
